Jim Burnham

Mr Burnham is an amazing lawyer. I was accused by my previous employer, which was a fairly large public company, of embezzlement/grand theft in the ballpark of almost half a million dollars. I was terrified. Thanks to Jim, I was NEVER arrested, NEVER charged, NEVER called by a police officer and avoi...ded prosecution altogether. His advice and counsel was sound and correct every time. I estimate he put in 300+ hours on my case, so I was lucky that he charged a flat fee. I received an update every day and he never made me feel like he was not on my side. His reputation alone opened so many doors for my case and allowed us to settle without any legal fuss. We worked out a payment plan that was incredible – I could actually afford it. If you are facing charges, you need a lawyer. Don’t risk jail time or being pulled away from your family. With lawyers, you get what you pay for. What I paid for got me an honest, HARD WORKING, INCREDIBLE lawyer. Do not settle for cheap. Do you research on Mr. Burnham, then HIRE HIM. My case was in Dallas county.

Jim Burnham represented me in obtaining an early release from probation. During the hearing, I watched Jim convince the judge that I was no longer the troubled young man that had been convicted, that I had a support system in place that would not fail me, and that I needed to be released from probati...on early in order to move forward. Because of Jim’s efforts and thorough preparation, I’m able to get on with the next part of my life without probation weighing me down. I am lucky to have had an attorney who is as experienced and hard-working as Jim Burnham.

"I was wrongly accused of assaulting my step-daughter and I was arrested for Injury to a Child. I was an innocent man who had done nothing wrong, yet I was in danger of being convicted of a felony. Jim Burnham represented me for the Grand Jury and my case was dismissed before I was ever indicted. I... am so glad that I hired Jim to represent me. He fought very hard for me and cleared my name. I hope to never need a criminal lawyer again, but if I do, I will be calling Jim Burnham.

I was investigated in 2015 by the federal government for a charge of False Statement to Obtain Federal Employee's Compensation. Jim Burnham fought hard on my behalf until I was offered the best possible outcome. I didn't go to jail, and Jim's vast knowledge of the legal system got my offense reduced ...from a felony to a misdemeanor. My understanding is that such a result in cases like mine is incredibly rare. Jim Burnham is a wonderful attorney and I couldn't be happier with the result that he obtained for me.

I was facing the prospect of having my felony probation revoked and being sent to the penitentiary. The judge had set no bond in my case. Before I hired Jim, I spoke to another lawyer who told me that there was nothing he could do. I was told that my case was hopeless, my probation would be revoke...d, and I would be sent to prison. Luckily, I was referred to Jim Burnham. Jim worked long hours calling multiple offices in both states on a daily basis, in addition to communicating with me and my family. Jim kept my probation from being revoked, and his tenacious representation resulted in my release, an outcome that the first lawyer didn’t believe was possible.
