Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Working with Attorney Patrick Burns was a truly remarkable experience. During one of the darkest and most challenging times of my life, Patrick became my greatest ally. When I thought all hope was lost and no one would take on my case, Patrick stepped in and worked magic. He didn’t just meet my expectations—he completely surpassed them. I feel incredibly fortunate to have had him by my side. What set Patrick apart was his genuine compassion and the sincere care he showed every step of the way. In a time filled with so much uncertainty and emotion, his empathy and understanding were a comfort. His professionalism and quick, consistent communication provided me with peace of mind when I needed it most. Patrick is a fighter with heart, and he never wavered in his pursuit of the best possible outcome. I will always be amazed by his relentless dedication and unmatched skill. Having spoken to many, many attorneys before finding him, I can honestly say Patrick blew them all away.
I was given Patrick’s name through the South Dakota State bar. I was blown away at how, responsive, professional, and caring he was. He really went above and beyond. He helped me through a difficult time when I did not know how to navigate the legal aspects of my situation. Anyone should feel very at ease and confident to have him as their lawyer. Thanks again, Patrick!
Patrick's work was excellent. He provided me with complete law coverage. Would recommend to friends and family.
My husband and I had a somewhat unusual case, and after a couple months trying different routes we had pretty much run out of options to resolve our issue. We met with Mr. Burns and within one month our case was resolved. Mr. Burns is highly professional and compassionate, and we couldn’t be more happy with the results. His law firm’s location was easy to find. Patrick resolved our case and returned unused retainer to us. We highly recommend Mr. Burns.
Patrick Burns Law has been such a reassuring experience. Patrick has shown compassion, honesty and good judgement separating personal versus fact. His firm feels to be grounded on integrity, morals and ethics, for which I appreciate and feel secure in our dealings.
