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.

Review

I am so grateful to Nigel Burns Law Offices. Both Brandon and Nigel have helped me through such a difficult time. I have felt safe with them. If that makes sense. Throughout my child custody case my ex and his lawyer have gone to desperate and extreme measures. It has been such a tough emotional roll...er coaster. Brandon and Nigel are not only really knowledgeable they are superior lawyers. It felt like they actually cared about me and my case. They supported me in every way. Brandon does such great job of explaining what was going on every step of the way. He breaks it down so I can understand, most of the legal terminology is over my head. He has sort of a "tuff love" way about him that I found very helpful. He is extremely thorough and talented. He made me feel like I was their only case. They were there when I needed quick legal advice as well as listening to my frustrations. Nigel has a very even-keeled way about him, and an Irish humor that got me to laugh even if I was crying. He is very talented and professional. If there is such a thing as "bedside manor" with lawyers they have it. They put a stop to the other lawyers shenanigans and practice law with a moral code. I am beyond grateful for them.

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.

The greatest lawyer I have worked with!

Nigel Burns has been my savior. Everyone on his team, including himself, is respectful, professional, exceptionally hard-working and overall wonderful. When I was going through the hardest time of my life, and felt like I had no way out, he came out of the blue and helped me. I will be forever gratef...ul, and always have 100% trust and respect for him. He is the kind of lawyer that will go out of his way and fight until the last minute for you. Never once, did he leave me in the dark, worried throughout my case. His speed of response is extraordinarily fast and he must me one of the few lawyers out there with great morals and working ethic. He deserves every penny he earns and in the future if myself, or anyone I know, ever needs a lawyer he will be my one and only stop!
