"There are a lot of lawyers, and there are a lot of smart lawyers. But Brendan is one of the smartest lawyers that I've gotten to know. When it comes to workers' compensation law, he's the guru. What makes him stand out as a lawyer is that he has a good heart, he cares for his clients, and he is compassionate. If you hire Brendan, you will not regret. He will go above and beyond for you. He not only works hard but works smart, which is what you should look for in a lawyer. Hire him!"
"I fully endorse Brendan Burns. When I first Brendan, we were on opposing sides. After witnessing his passion and aggressive advocacy he had for his client, I knew we had to have him on the plaintiff/applicant side. I approached Brendan to start Sachs Burns and now Brendan displays the same passion and aggression helping injured clients."
"Brendan has tremendous experience in the worker's compensation field. After spending many years working on the defense side, he now represents plaintiffs who have been injured on the job. His vast knowledge and attention to detail give him the tools that he needs to deliver some great results for his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Mr. Burns for almost 5 years and highly recommend his services. There are many areas of law that he excels in including contracts, personal injury and business. He also has excellent writing skills that far exceed most attorneys with his experience level."
"I have known Attorney Burns for many years. He is highly intelligent, honest, and creative. I highly recommend this lawyer to anyone in need of an attorney in Mr. Burns' area."
