About Brian
Biography
My passion is helping people who have been accused of wrongdoing by the government. I've spent years studing language and culture in the United States, Mexico, Spain, and the Dominican Republic. After attending college at La Universidad de Salamanca in Salamanca, Spain, Centro de Lenguajes Extranjeros in Toluca, Mexico, I've learned to respect the mindset of other people and their cultures. As a former microbiologist, I have a unique understaning of the science currently used by law enforcement. For example, I am trained in DNA analysis and interpretation (at Boise State University) as well as the identification of alcohol and drugs in blood by gas chromotography (at Axion Laboratory in Chicago).

Great Lawyer You Can Trust
He dismissed my case, at no time saw the judge, great at negotiating to get my charge dismissed misdemeanor assult bodily injury. Best thing of all he made me feel I was in great hands and at an affordable price. Any doubt that I had, he explained it to me in detail. Thank you for your great service!...

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.
