Nathaniel Burney

Has done very efficient job with my B Felony case from conference with D.A , mitigating circumstances & written motions & follow up,etc. he has a vast array of resources to utilize & great social workers to intervene & advocate alternative resolution besides jail. but as an addict its hard to live ...up to your "End" of the bargain & i may be needing a higher level of care.As pending charges may arrive i am hoping for help thru Mr. Burney once again & a favorable disposition is reached.

I got arrested for possession with intent to sell. This was and is my only offense. My girlfriend found Mr.Burney online and he met with me right away. He was really patient with me and answered any questions that I had. I wanted this to be over as quickly and painlessly as possible, and that's what ...Mr.Burney did for me. He was able to get me into an outpatient program and no jail time, which was the best thing that could of happen for me. I've been clean ever since and I wouldn't have done it any other way, or with any other representation.

Nathan Burney comes off as a very weird character. Which tricked me as he tries to make that pass that as "genius" and "too smart to be understood". I made a poor decision in hiring him, based on the fact that he didn't appear to "hardcore" sell his services as some do, and that he had worked w...ith the DA's office which according to him, made him the best choice and justified him "being very expensive". I regret that my distressed state of mind led me to hire him versus a more "traditional" and aggressive lawyer. He is very ill at ease and shy when you meet him, strangely his name is unknown at the registration desk, nor does it appear anywhere in the office he shares. He pretended to not know I was coming from Avvo, or that he was well rated here and comes on top of searches. This white lie was a red flag. Nathan Burney gets ALL of his clients through Avvo. By the way I have asked Avvo to look into his reviews which I find very surprising. The main issues I faced with him : - he only responds per email, often after a week or two. He will never, ever pick up the phone, so don't expect reactivity. He failed to respond to other attorneys I then hired to make sure my case was going in the right direction. - while I didn't particularly expect sympathy, he became plain rude and unresponsive the minute he received the retainer. - he hardly took any attention to my case, as he "was busy writing a book". The only reason he took me on was to finance his lifestyle but he could not show more disinterest in what was happening to me, and the blatant and obvious fact I was wrongly accused by my spiteful ex. - his lack of attention and available time resulted in his total failure to negotiate anything (which takes time and understanding of the case). In fact, he was indeed the DA's best friend and besides sending rude and contemptuous remarks, he never lifted a finger to close the case in my favor. - he never read all the material I sent him to give strong arguments against my ex's ludicrous claims. - he took the opposing counsel's first offer and left it at that, and did the same thing with the DA. Of course, because that required no effort. I would strongly recommend you think twice before hiring him.

I was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance and issued a DAT. From an employment perspective, no professional wants any sort of criminal record. I was worried about the possibility of having to disclose this information when I apply to graduate school or potential employers. M...r. Burney was able to meet with a court supervisor prior to my arraignment, something NO other lawyer would even consider as it was impossible. This made my whole arraignment process simple, and the case resulted in an ACD, which is the best possible outcome given the circumstances. Mr. Burney totally took the burden of stress and hassle off my hands and has allowed me to move forward with my life with this unfortunate incident now behind me. If you you are in a jam, you definitely want him by your side in court.

Nathan Burney is a lawyer you want to have on your side. He is a highly capable and tenacious advocate; he is particularly good in complex and difficult cases where his intelligence and skill shine through; he is an excellent and energetic writer; and his honesty and inegrity are top-notch. In shor...t, he's the complete package as a lawyer. You'll be glad you hired him.
