Thorough, Thoughtful, and Fast!

When it became clear I was filing for divorce, Chris was my first choice as he came highly-recommended and has a great reputation in the community. He listened to my concerns and helped me at a time in my life when I really needed expert help. I am thankful for his advice and time--his work-product e...xceeded my expectations. If you're going through a divorce, I highly recommend hiring Chris Burnett.

child support

Chris seemed very distracted and not very interested in our case. He was unprepared and extremely hard to get a hold of. We settled our case because we felt we would not have a good outcome with Chris as our attorney.

Helped me through my difficult time with expertise and care

I had an unusual situation of an annulment of a marriage. There wasn't a lot of information available on annulment but Chris helped me through every stage of the process, answering all my questions, for a reasonable fee. He was very professional and was very knowledgeable. Everything went very smooth...ly and the annulment was finalized without a problem. I highly recommend this attorney.

The best representation ever and I couldn't ask for better!

I was met with an incredible personal blow while living 3000 miles away and I looked up so many lawyers in the area and when I found Mr. Burnett he didn't hesitate one second, and worked with me. Between the staff and Mr. Burnett I was kept informed with everything having to do with my case. The supp...orting staff was just as kind and responsive. I couldn't have asked for better representation and I am not only fully satisfied with Mr. Burnett, I am grateful to have found him.

You'd be better off with no attorney.

Initially went to the firm to see another attorney; was told that she would not have the time to help me as well as he would and so she handed my case over to Mr. Burnett. From the beginning he acted as though my case was unimportant and not worth his time. As the court date approached it seemed as t...hough nothing was getting accomplished, even with receiving the statements for how many hours he "worked" on my case. When we appeared in court the judge whom had the case information for far less time had to continue to correct his errors in case information. I did not appreciate having to sit next to him as he is trying to get me divorced when I have never been married or is mixing up the names of my ex and I and hearing him being corrected by someone who is supposedly so much less informed on my case. If he spent any time preparing for my case I would be shocked. 2 years later I'm still trying to get my screwed up custody agreement fixed.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
