Punishes clients

For the first few weeks he responded to every question I ever had the same day then I made him upset so I apologized. He accepted my apology and said he would move forward. But decided to ignore me for a week for punishment. Not very professional

Community activist

I’m a community activist for the LA Area. This law firm not only rips people off they make up stories to gain leverage in child custody cases. He is a poor example of someone who can change and help people but does the opposite for the Community. This law firm is about milking people out of their ha...rd working money. Mr Burns is shaky person and sweat to much and overall just not a good lawyer.

DO NOT USE FOR FAMILY LAW

DO NOT USE FOR FAMILY LAW related issues!!!! My experience with this firm was disastrous and costly in more ways than one. Nigel & his subordinates do not have a firm grasp of family law and should not be handling such sensitive matters. It was a disaster from beginning to end for my custody & suppor...t case, and I’m filing a formal complaint with the CA State Bar.
