Nathan Burney
I was charged with a crime. Nathan successfully helped me to get the case dismissed in the first court appearance.

great lawyer
i am an out of state client and mr. burney has went above and beyond his duty to help me with my case. He was able to reduce my bail from $100,00.00 to $5,000.00.
"Attorney Burney is a dedicated, highly-skilled lawyer well-respected within the legal community. I fully endorse him."
"Nathan and I recently worked together on a complex criminal antitrust case. His grasp of the issues was superb and his preparation and skillful presentation resulted in the court's rejection of the government's expert testimony in favor of the defense analysis. He was a pleasure to worth with."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Nathan Burney is a talented lawyer who develops excellent rapport with witnesses. He obtains information that others would often fail to get. He has an uncanny ability to find the causal links that bind seemingly random facts into a coherent story. He is a thoughtful lawyer who focuses on his client's best interests."
"Nathaniel is one of the finest courtroom lawyers it has ever been my privilege to see in action. He is poised and is always in control of not only the courtroom itself, but also of his adversaries. I would recommend him to any person who asks and make it a point to include him on any case in which I am working."
