About
I have been practicing law since 1978. From 2002 to 2010 I also served in the Missouri House of Representatives. I helped write the DWI laws that are now in effect in Missouri. I was recognized and given an award by the Missouri Association of Trial Attorneys for my work on behalf of injury victims during the "tort reform" debates in 2005. I have represented hundreds of injury victims and thousands of drivers in traffic courts. I now practice in Independence Missouri.

Mr. Burnett took on a situation that had were steadfast in getting the solution they knew I deserved. Be patient! The process may take time but you will be more than satisfied with the outcome! I feel the price he charged me was more than fair. Thank you Mr. Burnett and your team!
I recently got a ticket for a red light cam. I got this ticket in the mail, contacted John and spoke to him personally - he got my ticket dismissed and I was very pleased. prices are reasonable and I would recommend this firm to anyone. Being a paralegal for over 13 yrs now I know what good service is when I get it. This office was very professional and communicated with me every step of the way.
I never had problems with the law before, but after an unfortunate pass on the highway I got a pretty bad speeding ticket. John Burnett was able to solve it. He is very responsive, helpful and he knows his stuff. If you get into a tight spot I strongly recommend talking with John. Thanks again for all your help!
He was great! I was a bit nervous about using a lawyer to fight my moving violations tickets, especially since I found John Burnett randomly online (no referral or recommendations), but when I called him the week before my proceeding, he not only showed up, he also showed out; he didn't even need my testimony to prepare his defense. He did an awesome job and I will definitely use him again for future tickets... better yet, I hope I don't need to use for future tickets, but if another one comes my way, he will definitely be the one I call to represent me.
John has been great to work with. I'm currently battling a DUI case coupled with an accident and John has been on top of everything. He keeps me informed throughout the process and answers any questions I may have. Being that this is my first offense, there are a lot of questions to answer. His knowledge and expertise has definitely kept me calm during these high stress situations. I would highly recommend John Burnett should you have any legal issues and in need of someone to be on your side.
Got a speeding ticket a couple of months ago and had Mr. John taking care of it. He managed to dismiss the case and saving me $500 in fines and a couple of points on my driving license not to mention insurance hike. John did an amazing job behind it! He was very responsible and efficient with all the questions I had during those period. And he constantly keeping me updated with the process. I am very happy with it! Thank you so much!
I got a ticket for speeding with a possible 6 point penalty. John Burnett managed to get my ticket dismissed thankfully! John was very easy to work with and kept me in the loop as needed. I didn't have to go to court of set up any special meetings! It was all done via email and one or two calls tops. I will definitely be using John Burnett again (assuming I get into another ticket... Hopefully not soon!) And am highly recommending him to friends and family. You will not be disappointed!
I hired John to help me contest a speeding ticket I received. He was extremely fair, knowledgeable and set the right expectations from the get-go. He kept me informed throughout the process and always responded quickly to my questions/emails. Needless to say, I was thrilled when he emailed me to say my case had been dismissed. Well worth the money!
I had the unfortunate experience of getting a third DUI and was referred by a friend to John. He was able to get the DUI and all charges dismissed, I couldn't believe it. This was the first time I hired a lawyer for a DUI and wish I had the first and second times, especially if it was John. He doesn't sugarcoat anything or make any guarantees, so you won't have any false expectations, but when decision time comes from the Judge this is the guy you want in your corner. He was excellent in court and carries a very professional demeanor. I can't say enough about having John for representation, he saved me from a lot of time, money, and trouble dealing with the judicial system.
I must say I am extremely impressed with John and his ability to work with my case. I was convicted of a dui and I was looking for a lawyer to represent me. He is literally a life saver especially for the situation I was in and where it would put me if I was convicted. I am so happy I was able to find John Burnett and one amazing thing is he follows up just to see how you're doing unlike other lawyers. I would definitely suggest John for any Dui case.
