Great attorney!

Harvey is a great attorney! He was super easy to work with and went that extra mile to make sure I was completely satisfied with the results of my case. I would definitely go back to Mr. Burns if I needed anything else.

Great Attorney

I hired Mr. Burns for my personal injury case and he did a great job. I would highly recommend him. He kept me informed and I think he got me the most I could have gotten out of my accident case.

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
