Hard to find a lawyer like him Very sensitive and he was really involved in the case . The very best .

I Never expect to find a very decent lawyer like Brian Burns he is decent honest and very professional , in my modest opinion he is one of the very best criminal lawyers in Texas I strongly recommend him . Thank you for what you did for my nephew .

Best of the Best in Conroe TX

"God put me in lawyer Brian's office after I had hired and paid for two other Houston's lawyers who did nothing for five months in my husband’s evading arrest w/vehicle and immigration hold matters. On December 22, 2018 we hired Mr. Brian who worked honestly and did not look only at the criminal char...ge but took into consideration his immigration matter too. He helped my husband and our family. He understood how much this charge would impact my husband's immigration case and he fought for us and managed to lower the charge to a misdemeanor. I highly recommend Mr. Burns if you are looking for a person who really fights for your case/s and is not only interested in the money. Mr. Burns is our attorney for life"

An excellent Lawyer and legal team.

When I was arrested, I was quite frankly terrified. The entire legal system was so overwhelming, I was convinced I'd be spending a significant amount of time in jail; or worse. Brian Burns came highly recommended from a friend I trusted. When I and my wife met with him, he immediately set us at ease.... He asked the right questions that gave him a clear picture of the nature of my case. He clearly explained what documents to gather, and the time frame we'd be working within. After our meeting I walked away with a fairly good idea as to what I could expect. Later, when I had some additional questions, both he and his excellent staff made themselves available and provided concise answers. By the time of the third court date, I found that my case was being dismissed. I'm certain that were it not for the excellent legal representation I received from Brian Burns, I would have at a minimum been looking at jail time, probation, and hefty fines. I highly recommend Brian as a lawyer who understands the system, understands that people make mistakes, and works to find the best solution for your particular case.

He’s the Fairest, loyal lawyer in Conroe...HANDS DOWN!

To start off, I had a pending case on me(falsely thanks to Montgomery County) I went to several different lawyers all wanted to charge a high consultant fee and couldn’t even guarantee me if they could help me. I was recommended to Mr. Brian Burns by someone. I called told him bits and pieces of my s...tory; the same day he set an appointment for he and I to meet! We met, he knew I didn’t have all the money he charged so he allowed me to make a down payment and pay the rest out.(which none of the other lawyers were willing to do). We start having court dates he was always on time always had answer to my questions and represented me very well! Every month(literally)since October 2017 we were in court. Everything the DA had he shoot down. He was never afraid to say what he wanted too. Each month was a reset. In June of 2018 we went to court,they came at us with a deal that Mr. Burns said no to! By this time we’re ready to go to Trial with this case. They reset me again! The next morning Brian got the case dismissed! I was facing 2-5 years but thanks to Mr. Burns and his firmness, knowledge,and wisdom for law this is all behind me. I’ll HIGHLY recommend him to anyone.

Very happy father

I was up on an assault charge with bodily injury. Explained to Mr Burns that the person I assaulted molested my 7 yr old daughter. Mr Burns found that the accused also was up on charges for 2 other lude and luscious acts on a minor. And he got my charge dismissed.
