Brendan Burns is the Founder and Principal of Burns Law Group, APC, a California law firm focused on representing plaintiffs in personal injury claims, and injured employees in the workers' compensation system.
Prior to forming Burns Law Group, APC, Brendan spent several years working for a highly reputable Orange County legal defense firm. In this role, Brendan successfully defended insurance companies through utilization of aggressive litigation strategies and tactics. Over the years, Brendan negotiated multiple favorable settlements, and obtained several defense verdicts and "take nothings" at Trial.
At Burns Law Group, APC, Brendan now utilizes his legal skills and injury law expertise to advocate for his personal injury and workers compensation clients. Having represented several insurance companies, he understands the various strategies and tactics insurance companies try to employ, and is able to use this information against them. This unique skill has allowed Brendan to successfully secure multiple high dollar settlements and dispositions for his clients.
By launching Burns Law Group, APC, Brendan is able to help his clients secure the necessary compensation they deserve for personal injuries, stemming from automobile accidents, and trip and falls, as well as for employees who sustain a work-related injury.
When he is not working, Brendan enjoys spending quality time with his wife, Haasty Burns, who is also an accomplished attorney at a prominant Orange County law firm, and his beautiful, young daughter, Sadie Burns. Like other Southern California residents, they enjoy many outdoor family activities, including walks on the beach, hiking, and playing tennis together on the weekends.

Outstanding support & exceptional results
highly recommend Burns Law Group for anyone navigating a workers’ compensation case. From the beginning, they were responsive, thorough, and incredibly supportive.

Best Workers' Comp lawyer!
I was referred to Brendan by my doctor for my workers' compensation case. I initially had a consultation with him but was not sure whether or not I would need legal representation.

Amazing results
Brendan is an amazing attorney with a wealth of knowledge that you can trust. I had an injury case and I did not understand my rights and he was there every time I had a question. As busy as he was, it was always Brendan that got back to me. From the first consultation to the day I settled, he was th...
"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."
