The Law Office of James M. Burns

Amazing! Mr Burns had one day notice of my injunction and took it on, and won! Not only did he allow me to keep my job because of it being dropped, but also gave me hope to see my daughter in the future. All his office staff seem very eager to help and willing to listen. Will not trust anyone else when it comes to my lawyer needs!!

I paid this attorney $4,500, and he showed up to my case completely unprepared after having 11 weeks to get ready. He didn't know basic details about my charges -- he literally had to Google the difference between burglary and theft right in front of me. That alone tells you everything you need to know. His office was a mess, and so was he. When I first met him, he was wearing socks with a blood stain, and at court his suit was wrinkled and covered in animal hair. Zero professionalism, zero preparation, zero confidence. We had to sit in a conference room for almost an hour just to go through paperwork because he was so unorganized and had no idea what he was walking into. Even in the lobby he raised his voice at me, which was totally unacceptable. I honestly feel like he took my money and gave me the bare minimum effort, and because of that I didn't get the representation I deserved. Absolutely would not recommend him to anyone. Use this guy if you want to look like Willy Lump Lump.

James Burns, not only did not file My paperwork after having months to do so. He called everyone the wrong names in court and was confused as to what was even going on. Called the plaintiff the wrong name and wrong information. Even the judge was confused. I then got a sanction myself because his office wouldn't file my paperwork. Had to find another lawyer and then James Burns kept the five grand I had to use to retain him even after they dropped the ball on my case. I wouldn't use him again if he was the last lawyer on earth.

James Burns came through for my dad when the situation looked rough -- a violation of probation that could've gone the wrong way fast. Against the odds, he got him out of jail and helped our family breathe again. James is someone I've known personally, and seeing him in action as an attorney just gave me even more respect for him. He handled things directly, didn't sugarcoat anything, and got real results. He knew exactly what needed to be done and didn't waste time. I'm grateful -- not just because he's a friend, but because he's a damn good lawyer. If you need someone who knows the system and knows how to move in it, he's your guy.

Mr. Burns got my husbands court date put off for 31/2 months to recover from back surgery. We live 5 hrs. away from Pensacola. He now has made it so he dosen't have to appear in person. He has kept his word with us. We appreciate the work he has done for us.
