We retained James Burns for (what we thought was going to be) a simple ejectment case involving a family member. The person we were attempting to remove from the property caused so much chaos it became quite entangled with craziness, false charges, etc… Mr. Burns was very patient and compassionate, stayed focused during a longer than expected and complicated case, always kept us updated throughout the entire process and personally returned all messages and calls in a timely manner – I knew we were in good hands !! His staff was fantastic as well, Jon Searcy was always available to answer any questions we had and helped us understand the process. Jon also put in so much time and effort, he is very knowledgeable with cases like ours – they make an incredibly formidable team !! Mr. Burns is a great attorney who is very knowledgeable of the law, detail oriented and his professionalism is unparalleled. James Burns was completely successful with the complicated ejectment case and successfully had the false charges dismissed. I hope to never need an attorney again but, in the event I do, James Burns will be the attorney I hire. I cannot thank James Burns and his staff enough !!

Mr. Burns handled my paternity case, he was excellent, professional and compassionate. He listened to me and my concerns I had regarding my children and worked to achieve the outcome that was in the best interests of my children at a reasonable fee.

Mr. Burns is by far the BEST lawyer in this town!! He has been there every step of the way with my case and always answers all of my questions. On top of that, his front desk staff is truly amazing. You can tell they actually like what they do and they work for the client. Whether you need help with a payment plan, or you need a late night appt, they seem to accommodate any situation. Thank you James M. Burns and Associates!

I’m very thankful for this man and his staff. They are on point , tough , and know what they are talking about . They have went above and beyond . They “Care” about you I’ve had tough love and compassion from this office . I’ve used Mr. Burns twice . He even came to my bail hearing and even pickup my friend over a hour away personally then to jail to visit me . This man didn’t ask for a dime even after all that time and work not including what all his staff especially Lisa and Ashley . They all have done wonders for me and trusted me , believed in me , and now I’m telling you to Believe in Mr.Burns . Thank you again your hard work is not forgotten you are in my prayers . “ Don’t Get Burned , Get Burns, Not Barnes “ -Tyler

Jim was a great attorney who always paid attention to detail and did so with a very kind heart. He argued very well in court to help me to get what I needed in my family law case. I feel as though so many pieces of my family law puzzle came together because Mr. Burns knows his law and his way within the courtroom and family law system!
