A remarkable Man

I was falsely charged with felony hindering a secured creditor when I had just turned the age of 18. This was for a vehicle from a tote the note dealership. The individual who had charges brought on me had direct connections to the police department where I lived. I returned the vehicle to this man a...nd was arrested 4 days later. Unfortunately I was temporarily staying in the metroplex where the police came to the house I was living and hauled me to city jail, where I was granted no bail. After a week of my parents trying their damndest to get me transferred to my hometown and a bail set I was finally sent to my local department. My Dad met Michael Burns by pure luck in passing as he was helping another inmate and was about to leave. Michael Burns had me out of jail the next morning, I never had to step into a courtroom and the charge was thrown out. I referred a friend to him years later and he got the same level of help. Michael keeps you updated, works with you over cost, is truthful in expectation of your particular case. This man is a lifesaver. Forever Grateful my Dad met him that day. They saved my future. Highly recommended

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
