This was my first Personal Injury Claim I have ever been involved in and was sick to my stomach to even consider starting the process. But once arrived and met with Burgess it calmed my nerves feeling like we were talking with a friend versus an lawyer. From that point on we had a great experience with a personal touch every step of the way. I highly recommend Burgess as well as Zinda and Davis Lawfirm for your legal needs.
Mr Williams is extremely knowledgeable and resourceful. He is readily available and very willing to be of assistance. He also was of great help because his spanish was very proficient.
Overall, my interaction was outstanding.
Burgess Williams graduated from Florida State University College of Law in Tallahassee, FL where he earned a certificate in international law. Prior to law school, Burgess received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Wake Forest University where he was a member of the men’s soccer team.Â
Burgess is a trial lawyer who focuses his practice on personal injury law, including cases involving motor vehicle collisions, workplace injuries, sexual abuse/assault, wrongful death, catastrophic injuries, and all cases where negligence results in bodily and financial harm. Burgess puts his clients’ interests above all else and fights hard to recover their damages.
Having lived in Latin America for several years, Burgess is fluent in Spanish. While living in Argentina, Burgess started founded a company that manufactured luxury leather goods for export abroad. Burgess’ experience in the business world before becoming an attorney has allowed him to understand that dimension of cases that is often overlooked or underappreciated.
Â
Outside of his practice, Burgess actively volunteers his time at workers’ rights and consumer advocacy groups. Burgess believes that the courtroom is not only a place where people can enforce their rights, but also a place where real change can occur. It is with this in mind that he is a fierce defender of the right to a trial by jury guaranteed in the Seventh Amendment to the US Constitution.

Excellent Experience with Burgess!
From the beginning until the end of the process I was provided with outstanding service! Burgess and Holly treated me and my husband like we were part of a huge family - their family. He made sure we understood everything very clearly and in a timely manner. Holly was an absolute jewel! We found both of them to be a very competent, warm and caring team. I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to family and friends. Good job guys!!

5 Stars across the board
I am very satisfied with my experience and services from my attorney with Zinda & Davis, From my initial visit/ consultation right away I felt comfortable with my attorney Burgess Williams and the rest of the staff. The interest he showed in my case and the clear and distinct visibility of his competence and expertise was only matched by how thorough and professional his services were. His assistant/paralegal, Holly Todd was very polite and communicative in every aspect of my case. She was always prompt and reliable when it came to making sure I didn't forget my appointments and would always call or email to follow up with me on how they went, She would even contact me periodically for an update on both sides of my case, which helped me rest assured that my case really mattered. Prompt response time, my concerns were always taken care of and never brushed aside, I really felt i could lean on his judgment and trust any and all advice he provided as well as all answers to my questions. He even went out of his way and provided legal advice for me regarding a vehicular accident that had nothing to do with my case, when he didn't have to. During my final visit the staff was still very accommodating and my attorney walked me through the legalities and closing stages of my case. All in all, I left knowing I received the best services possible and was confident in my attorney's advice and judgement, I would without a doubt recommend Zinda & Davis to any friends and family who would ever seek to rely on mine in making such a pivotal decision, Thank you Zinda & Davis. 5 Stars!!

BEST LEGAL REPRESENTATION AND EXPERIENCE ENCOUNTERED
It was by pure accident that I came in contact with Burgess Williams. I was actually trying to reach a local popular televised attorney to represent me, but somehow Burgess Williams with Zinda and Davis Law Firm called me back almost immediately. I was very impressed with Burgess from the beginning. he drove all the way to my home which is approximately one hour from where he works and resides, on a Sunday morning, to meet with me to discuss my options regarding my work related injury. Burgess was very kind when he spoke with me at my home. He explained everything to me using terminology that I could understand. Burgess made sure that my medical care was taking care of he set me up with the best specialist and if there was ever an issue with my treatment he was able to get it taken care of. Burgess was able to get me the maximum amount of money that he possibly could given my situation where there are multiple claimants involved. He took care of everything for me I did not have to do anything but keep my appointments with my medical providers.I was able to focus on my physical mental and emotional healing and not have to deal with the legal aspect of my injuries. he kept me informed and updated each step of the way and ran everything by me and gave his recommendation before any decisions were made. His staff was always readily available to help me if Burgess was not. I did not have to wait days or weeks to hear back from my attorney. EitherBurgess himself or a member of his team contacted me with in the same business day, usually it was within an hour or so. And his team of paralegals are very knowledgeable regarding the cases that Burgess is working on. They always knew what was going on and what was pending. Burgess and his entire team are very courteous respectful and kind. I would strongly recommend Burgess Williams with Zinda and Davis Law Firm to anyone who may need personal injury representation. Thank you Burgess, for ALL your hardwirk. I am amazed at how you wrapped it up in perfect timing for me. I was told by others this wiuld taje years before I saw a penny. You were able to get me check in approximately to months.!

phenomenal service on my personal injury suit
Burgess Williams and his team at Zinder and Davis, are extremely knowledgeable and are very good at what they do. I was injured in an auto accident and Burgess and his team were able to maximize my settlement. Not only did all my medical bills get paid for but I also walked away with a lump sum of cash. Which is amazing cause I couldn't walk at all after the wreck. Burgess and his team made the entire process painless for us and he kept us informed every step of the way.

Car Accident case
Burgess made a process that is both lengthy and unpleasant, as good as it could be. He was very helpful and informative as well as educated me along the way. This is not something that I would ever like to experience again, but if i did, I would use Burgess.

I Only Wish I had Come to Him Sooner
I think Mr. Williams is a great and wonderful attorney. I never had any problems from the first day that we spoke, he was friendly and explained everything with a positive and pleasant attitude. I only wish that I had come to him sooner instead of dealing with another attorney who didn't want to hear me out. I would most definitely recommend Mr. Williams to family and friends. The receptionist was always pleasant as well. Very satisfied with my experience here.

My experience with Burgess was exceptional, i would recommend him to anyone
I retained Burgess as my attorney in a work comp catastrophic injury settlement case. The advice, thoughts -- professional and personal were always in my interest and not of a law firm trying to get a payout. My case took quite a number of months, and he always kept me informed. Burgess and his firm also brought along a financial planner to help me understand total outcome and means by which to care for it. Everything done in my work comp case was performed to my needs with no pressure to settle either way. I highly recommend Burgess Williams
