Met with this guy and we talked about my divorce. Told me up front what would happen, and it turned out everything he said was right. Hire this one.

Bill helped me through my divorce step by step. His attention to detail was fantastic and I ended up in a much better position than I anticipated. My ex's attorney was on the run the whole time.

Bill knows his stuff and will be honest with you about your chances of winning your case. He will tell you when he thinks you are wasting your time, and will not recommend going to court just to take your money. However, he will also advocate hard for you when you do go, and will not settle with the other attorney unless it is in your best interest.

Attorney Burns helped me with a family matter. He was very responsive to my calls and emails. He took the time to explain the law to me in terms I could understand. I would highly recommend attorney Burns to anyone looking for an attorney that is straight forward and gets results.

Over the years residing in Connecticut, I have gotten to know many attorneys in the New Haven - Stamford area. I no longer live in Connecticut, but I still require legal assistance from time to time in the state. I was hesitant to contact any of the family attorneys I have gotten to know over the years. After all, my family matters are now in a phase where I do not care to share my concerns with old friends. I took the opportunity to contact Attorney Burns based upon his profile as shown on selected reputable online sites. When Attorney Burns and I finally spoke, I must admit that I was caught off guard. It was simply meant to be an initial consultation, yet he took a great deal of time to answer all my concerns in a very comprehensive, clear and highly competent manner. He went far beyond what was required in an initial consultation. At one point, he asked for a few minutes to research a matter of legal interpretation that we were discussing. Again, this was simply an initial consultation. It was the most caring conversation I have ever had with a family attorney. And, above all else, he put my mind completely at ease about my matter and provided me with a very clear path forward. I would advise anyone with a family law matter in the Connecticut area to seek the advice of Attorney Burns. It was most enjoyable speaking with him and I now feel I have the best attorney in Connecticut when needed for family matters!

Attorney William Burns Jr. was extremely helpful when I dealt with obtaining custody of my daughter in 2015. I would refer Attorney Burns Jr. to all fathers who are being withheld visitation time, or has a child being raised in an unhealthy household environment. I can honestly say that Attorney Burns Jr. will be my daughter’s hero for the rest of her life. He saved my daughter from being raised in an unstable environment and helped me achieve the ability to give her what every child deserves in their life stability, and love. Throughout the process Attorney Burns Jr. was upfront and honest. At the beginning of my custody fight he stated that obtaining custody would be an uphill battle that would take time and patience, and that it did. Throughout my case Attorney Burns Jr. treated my case as if he was fighting for the well-being of his own child and he would do all that he could to achieve the right outcome for my daughter. He was very trustworthy and easy to communicate with. I cannot thank Attorney Burns Jr. and his staff enough for helping me acquire custody of my daughter and putting me in a position to show my little girl the true meaning of being a kid. I would recommend Attorney Burns Jr. to any father dealing with any custody issue and looking to put their children in a healthy and positive household environment.

Bill Burns and his staff did an incredible job of advising and counselling me throughout my divorce process. While the circumstances for such an action could never be optimal, Bill and his team were supportive, responsive, collaborative, flexible and creative throughout the process. I would recommend Bartlett Burns LLC for any Husband or Father in their search for a solid and trustworthy family matters lawyer, especially if parental rights and the children's best interests are of paramount importance.

Bill and his staff were very professional and knowledgeable. He helped me with getting my son back after almost 60 days without seeing him. I found Bill very easy to talk to and he put everything into language that was easy to understand. He and his associates were very friendly and courteous. They all made a very tough time a whole lot easier for me. I felt from day one that I was in good hands, and that everything would be taken care of and I would get my son back.

Bill Burns represented me in my divorce case. He was extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. While being busy, as any worthwhile lawyer would be, he always managed to get back to me in a timely manner and treated me as if I was his most important client. He stated his objectives clearly and was honest about what my expectations should be. He was able to broker the exact deal I was hoping for even though I never thought it was possible. I couldn't be happier with the result. Despite the divorce being finalized, most importantly, the process taught me and my ex that our child comes first and we're able to move forward raising our child 'together' in separate residences. I strongly recommend consulting Bill Burns. Additionally, him team is awesome and easy to work with.

Bill has been a great lawyer for our family. He has helped us with the adoption process and our wills and we know we can count on him on to be there for us. My wife and I are in the process of adopting a child; Bill has been instrumental in getting us through the piles of legal documents helping us to make sense of them and putting us more at ease. The adoption process is financially and emotionally stressful but knowing we have a great lawyer helps to lessen some of that stress. We have always found him professional, respectful and compassionate. I have and will continue to recommend Bill to anyone looking for a great lawyer.
