Great Lawyer!

Jim Burnham represented me during a federal investigation for selling counterfeit products. Due to Jim beginning to work on the case in the early stages, I was never arrested and was put in a pre-trial diversion program. I was then placed on probation for twelve months, but Jim got me an early releas...e of probation after only ten months. I was so lucky that a friend recommended Jim to me. I could not ask for a better lawyer! Jim’s great efforts, experience, and professionalism are highly appreciated!

Burnham is an AMAZING lawyer

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.

My Federal Jury Trial in Dallas County

When you are faced with Federal charges and need a qualified first rate lawyer it is most important to hire a true professional that has a proven track record for discovery, negotiation and trial. I was fortunate to have Jim Burnham represent me in my personal jury trial. The seven (7) Federal cha...rges against me were count 1 conspiracy to Commit Bank Fraud, False Statements and Bank Fraud; count 2 through 6- False Statement; count 7 Bank Fraud and that all 7 counts were NOT GUILTY. Mr. Burnham did an outstanding job in each step of the judicial process.

Federal Court Jury Trial

I was charged in Federal Court in Lafayette, Louisiana, of bank fraud, wire fraud and mail fraud. The jury trial lasted for four weeks, and I was found innocent and acquitted of all charges. I am completely convinced that I would have been found guilty had it not been for my lawyer, Mr. Jim Burnham.... He is very knowledgable of the law, court procedure, presentation, and fight tenaciously for what he considers right and Just. Me and my family can never repay Jim Burnham for saving me during that very long and stressful trial. I probably would have served some jail time had Jim Burnham not been my lawyer.
