Mr. Burns has helped me with my criminal cases this past year. He was always very kind to my family and me. He settled my cases quickly with the best possible results, but also made sure I understood and learned my lesson. I am very happy with the outcome. Thank you, Mr. Burns!

My wife and I retained James to represent our son in some relatively complicated criminal proceedings. As a lawyer myself, I admired his focus, work ethic, and explanations about the process as well as available options. He secured results that were both timely and acceptable to our son. His paralegal, Lisa, was very cordial and always responsive to our inquiries when James was unavailable.

Mr. Burns is a great attorney that got me what I deserved in my divorce. It was a very ugly and combative situation but Mr. Burns had my back through the entire process. He also made sure everything I needed to start over, I got in the divorce. If you need an amazing attorney he is your man.
