I came to Bryan for my case in October 2017 where he was able to get two charges dropped and one lowered on with an initial sentence of 5 years differed probation. Within a year of finishing my requirements the court asked of me (Community service, NA meetings, and a hefty fine) he filed a motion ...for early termination that was granted within the next month.

Hire Brian Burns

I want to start by saying, that Brian Burns is an amazing lawyer. I went to him first to hire him for my fiancé that is currently going through legal issues. During the process I ended up needing Brian for my own defense on a felony charge for possession of a controlled substance. I went to court and... didn’t have an attorney hired and was getting ready to go jail because of failing my UA while out on bone. I contacted Brian and he was there within minutes. He not only saved me from going to jail that day, but also was able to get my charges dropped to a misdemeanor possession of marijuana with a fine and 6 months suspended license. This was more than I could ask for, seeing that I was about to miss my graduation and have a felony on my record. He then went above and beyond and helped me find a great attorney that would defend my fiancé since he could no longer do so. I would recommend Brian Burns to anyone i need of a good criminal defense lawyer. Since then he maintains to keep in contact and is always very prompt when getting back to any questions I may have.

Brian Burns is Conroe's finest attorney

I was out on Bond and got arrested again on new charges I have 3 felony charges and one misdemeanor also violated my bond stipulation so set in the jail with no bonds my family hired Brian Burns which I've known for a good while he came to see me in jail and also got me new bonds he always takes the ...time to listen to what I had to say he answered every question i had he also told me what we were looking at and what he was going to do for me well sometime past by and he was able to get one felony charge dismissed still went to court to try to get the other ones dismissed but da insisted for me to go to state jail well Bryan argued with him for a while and next thing you know all my charges were dismissals so I highly recommend Brian to anybody that has any legal matters going on he is the one you want in a courtroom fighting for you he takes your case inconsideration and knows how important it is to you and your family so he tries to get you the best outcome that he can and will do everything to make that happen he's not like other attorneys that just demand money and no results Brian's totally the opposite you see results fast and his staff is also real good they try to answer the questions you have and they always make sure he gets your message to call you back they have real good communication so before you hire anybody I say you call him see what he's got to tell you cuz one thing I know for sure he's not going to lie to you and he's not just there to take your money he handles his work very professionally and tries to get your case done in a timely Manner I will always use him as my attorney he is my attorney for life he also speaks fluent Spanish in real reasonable with his pricing so if you want to be in good hands and went the best outcome for your case he's the one to call

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 .

Very knowledgeable & personable

Brian got my case dismissed on my second court appearance. I was certain that it would be a long and tiring process but he made it quick and painless. He & his staff were very attentive in answering any & all questions I had about my particular case and questions of general law's. He taught me how I ...can prevent any similar circumstances from happening. He even helped me to get my license reinstated and showed me that judicial processes do not always have to be dreadful. I would highly recommend his services. He has the right mix of professionalism and relatability.
