She’ll quit

Found Haasty at her initial firm she was with and she was awesome. She left that firm and I actually stuck with her and was happy with her attentiveness and compassion. My Family law case was a couple years total and a few months before I was to finally put the whole ordeal behind me, she literally d...isappeared. The only word I got from her new firm was that she was not available for my case and assigned me to another attorney I knew nothing about. A year and a half of hard work and trust tossed aside with not even an email from Haasty saying...well something at least. If it were just me involved that’s one thing but everything was and still is about my daughter and that’s the worst part. No explanation, we never had any slight hint of an argument, she had my total trust and vanished. Clearly she has come back into the google searches and good for her. But to anyone who might be thinking about retaining her, just keep it in the back of your mind to expect the unexpected from her.

Guided through a difficult situation by an Amazing Attorney!!

I retained Ms. Burns to represent me in a family law matter. I don't know how I could have possibly gotten through this situation without the help, the compassion and most importantly, the patience that Ms. Burns had for me. Her knowledge in and out of the courtroom was outstanding and gave me con...fidence to know that my situation would be resolved in the best possible manner. This was a very difficult time in my life and she answered all of my questions with patience and it was clear that she always had my best interest in mind. Ms. Burns was very professional and yet it felt as if she was my friend - she was very diligent in answering all phone calls, all emails and keeping me informed of all communications with the opposing side. She took the time to discuss strategy with me and I never felt unprepared or unaware of what the next step in our case was going to be. Thank you so much, Ms. Burns, I truly could not ever fully express my gratitude, for everything that you did for me. I would highly recommend Ms. Burns to everyone! She is an asset to the legal community and you would be lucky to have her represent you!!

Always helpful & on point!!

I have used Haasty as a consult for 2 separate family situations. She was extremely helpful, easy to contact and gave me great information. I was very happy with her and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for family law help or personal injury.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. It was a pleasure to work with/opposing Ms. Burns. It can truly be difficult at times to work with opposing counsel, yet this was not the case at all. Ms. Burns and I had a situation where our clients were very much at odds, however, from the start she was very professional and very clear that her priority was to do what was in her client's best interest. She was very reasonable and easy to work with, while still being a strong advocate for her client. She was strong and knowledgeable in the courtroom, without getting rude or nasty. All communications were very clear, expedient and never disrespectful - even when we disagreed. I appreciate Ms. Burn's work ethic, her tenacity and her direct nature. I only wish we had more cases against each other. Any attorney would find themselves to be lucky to work with/against Ms. Burns."
