"A Job Well Done"

I hired Tom Burnett, to represent me in an accident case where I sustained lower back injury. Tom was very easy to talk to, very considerate of my feelings and imput. I found Tom to be very professional, ethical and he had my best interest at heart. Tom provided me with the best legal representation... I expected, and I would highly recommend his services. Thanks Tom :)

Excellent Attorney

Attorney Burnett and his staff were very helpful during my case and made it possible for me to worry about recovering from my accident and healing, instead of dealing with the insurance company of the other party. I am very pleased with the outcome of my case. I highly recommend Attorney Burnett sho...uld you find yourself in need of a personal injury attorney.

Personal Injury Case

Thomas was incredibly helpful with my personal injury lawsuit. I had never navigated a legal issue before, and his firm was very friendly, fast, and easy to work with. They tracked down all medical expenses, arranged all times/dates with lawyers and courts, and explained every step of the process v...ery thoroughly. This firm was great to work with, and I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Best attorney we ever encountered. Knows the case, fights, protects and supports in whatever decision is made by the client.

We came to Mr Burnett on a referral. We had a complicated case of injury from an attack using the internet. Mr. Burnett met with us and thoroughly reviewed our case with us. We felt completely comfortable and important. He knew our case inside and out and could discuss anything from memory with a...ny question we had. He was down to earth, warm, professional, courteous and confident. He always kept us informed but he also handled many things that did not require our attention and we did not have to be bothered with ugly things the other lawyers were doing just to fight the case. He went way above and beyond for us. He was always pleasant. We saw him interact with other lawyers and a mediator. He had good relationships with them and was well respected. He consulted with specialists in the various areas and always laid out the pros and cons for us to make the most informed decision. He did not try to influence us one way or another when we were presented with two very different paths to go. He let us know he would willingly do whatever we needed to do for our case. I would recommend Thomas Burnett to any family member or friend. I am 55 years old and like many people have not had good experiences with lawyers and have heard horror stories from friends. It is such a comfort to know there is a caring, moral, ethical, professional, down to earth lawyer that will fight for you. We are just settling a case that he has calmly and professionally fought. He went up against groups of lawyers and kept winning. We worked with Mr. Burnett over a 3 year period. The length was due to changes on the other side and just the legal process. In the 3 years we worked with him, I was never disappointed or frustrated with him. We are so grateful that we were referred to him.

If you want your matter held with the upmost Respect, while handled in a timely fashion, then this Attorney is for you, pro vet.

Thomas Burnett was the only attorney that would take my accident case, fairly! He allowed me to come into his office and to discuss my accident with a drunk driver, who had struck my vehicle, which could have killed my entire family. Mr. Burnett, said he would take my case at a reasonable rate, lower... then most other law offices that I had spoken with. He also gave me a veteran discount, because he had stated: He appreciated what we do and the sacrifices we had made! It only took a year to settle out. He had gotten me three times the amount I even imagined getting in return, giving me consultation and support through both the injury claim and the charges brought up against the other party. During that time, I had other business matters, which he was more than fair giving me advice at little to no cost. I have had many experiences with lots of attorneys, in a array of different circumstance; custody, lawsuit, etc. In my opinion, I have never met such a down to earth lawyer. He will be fair and honest. While, he makes sure to give you the full Respect that your case deserves. From a Veteran, to anyone else. This is the attorney you want to Represent your case!!! AA+
