If you need a parrot lawyer - this is yoour man

Oct 16th. Dear Mr. Burns: Please can you send me your License Number - I have searched the Colorado Attorneys Office web site for William Burns and they have no record of you. Please advise. Your Demand Letter: Jesse is here on a month to month lease. He has been advised in accordance wi...th the law that the lease will not be renewed. Your client has not lost any services. However, he has been advised that the house temperature will NOT be maintained at 85F for his pleasure and the thermostat is set at 69F..Your assertions that Denver Health recommends 85F are willfully false. He has been told that he could heat his room to 85. Unfortunately, he insists on the whole house. I am not sure why you advise Jesse that he has to agree not to renew the lease. This is my decision only. Your other assertions and requests in your demand letter read like six year olds fighting on a playground and I will not give them credibility by addressing them. Re. Harassment - Your client has spent the last 7 days entirely devoted to contacting every conceivable city and state authority and filing egregious reports on me. The allegations snowball as he does not get the response he is wanting. You accuse me of harassment? Jesse has called the police, zoning authorities, numerous attorneys, housing authorities, licensing authorities, numerous health authorities, Denver Fire Department Denver City codes, etc. etc.. This scorched earth behaviour is not unusual. When Jesse first moved in here he spent a month lobbying the FBI to go after his prior landlord for harassment. Luckily this will all be over on Oct 31st. Though I suspect we will meet in court. Regards, Hugh Evans

Excellent landlord /tenant lawyer

I had a issue with a apartment complex, I took the help William in setting the issue. He is an excellent communicator and responds to email very quickly. He answered all my queries patiently. He helped me negotiating a settlement with apartment and got the issue closed. His rates were very reasonabl...e. Thank you William.

This attorney gave me sound advice and assuaged my fears during a traumatic situation. He kept me calm by giving me concrete things I could do to improve my situation. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

With much thanks

My 92 year old grandma needed a landlord tenant lawyer, and attorney Burns was recommended to us. He is smart, knowledgeable and knows his law. He was able to get a quick solution to her issue, while treating my grandma with compassion and care. I would recommend Burns to anyone needing a landlord/...tenant lawyer

Mr. Burns is a no nonsense lawyer!

Mr. Burns exceeded all my expectations. He is extremely professional, helpful and knowledgeable regarding landlord-tenant law! I feel very fortunate to have found an attorney to represent me and my on going dispute with previous landlord/management company. Within a little over 30 days I was a...ble to receive a check for my deposit! His guidance and expertise were the key to getting my full deposit back from my previous landlord. I highly recommend him to get the job done!
