I used them for a family matter and things went just fine, then we wanted to utilize their services for estate planning. We met with our attorney, she ended up leaving and we were never notified. She billed our retainer for thousands prior to leaving and not only we were never notified they just sent emails requesting to replenish our retainer. Six months later someone finally calls and I explain the situation and simply ask to be made whole so we can continue the work that never started. They refused, for 4 months I was passed around between paralegals until finally requesting a refund of the remaining retainer. No invoices were provided, no work and nothing to show for the money spent. I have 4 attorney offices in retainer for other needs and never have I had such a bad experience. Find a boutique firm with a reputable track record.

I hired Attorney Matt Patton in July of 2023 to help me with my divorce. From the very first moment I met Matt, he was not only professional and knowledgeable, but he made me feel supported, empowered, understood, and at ease. What should have taken a few months to process took over a year because of things outside both of our control. Matt was there for me every step of the way and felt my frustrations as his own. He did everything in his power to get this handled for me quickly and efficiently. Throughout, Matt was communicative, kind, and represented me with integrity and grit. One of the more notable parts of Matt’s representation of me was whenever we had mediations or hearings in front of the Court, he stood up for me in ways that I have never been able to do for myself. To have a lawyer like that in my corner meant more to me than words can describe. I can honestly say that I would not have been able to make it through this process without him. Matt was able to get me everything I asked for and more. For the high level of representation I received, and for the care he gave to me and my case from the beginning to the end (especially in such an emotionally charged and delicate situation), Matt was worth every penny I spent to hire him as my lawyer. I could not give him a higher recommendation. Thank you, Matt, from the bottom of my heart, and thank you to your amazing Paralegal, Amanda, for making this process as least painful and as smooth as possible given the circumstances. You guys are truly the best! -Karina

Highly recommend Patrick Watkins and Kimberly Williams for all your legal needs. Very easy to work with and always answered all my questions. Explained all the legal procedures and walked me through everything. Great team to work with!

Will do a good job at misrepresenting minorities while getting paid to do so I highly do not recommend for ANYONE . Trust me there is better representation elsewhere

I recently went through an extremely challenging divorce with a lot of complicated issues. I initially tried to self-represent myself but as we came closer to our permanent orders date it became apparent that I needed representation. My wife and her attorney did nothing but play games, bully me and mislead me at every turn. That all stopped the minute Joanna became my attorney. When I hired Joanna, she only had a couple weeks to get caught up on my case and prep for trial. Despite the limited time, Joanna jumped right in and got working on my case. She found multiple errors in the documents my wife had submitted that her own attorney did not catch. My case was not able to be settled and we went to trial. Almost every issue was contested, and my wife and her attorney were out for blood. There was a lot at risk and if things went the way my wife had hoped, I was going to be financially devastated for years to come. Joanna was well prepared when we went to court. She has an incredible presence in the court room and is a natural born litigator. Almost every objection she posed was sustained, almost every objection posed by opposing counsel was overruled. Thanks to Joanna I could not have achieved a better outcome, it was far better than anything I could have expected. Had it not been for Joanna I would have been destroyed by my wife's counsel. Instead, the opposite occurred. I have worked with family attorneys in the past due to a previous divorce and child custody issues. I will never work with another attorney again. Joanna is the absolute best, and I will be referring her to everyone I know.

Farid Seyyedi helped me by just speaking to me on the phone with getting the right document to enter my brothers apartment after his death. He was a total blessing! Thank you Farid from my heart! Sincerely Brigette Dolph

We were in a tough spot and the team at Burnham Law were able to get us through it with direct and compassionate communications throughout the process. I respect that. I would like to personally thank Chris for teaming us up with Sam, Jennifer and Theodore. These are wonderful people and are excellent at what they do. Looking forward to working with them in the future. Sincerely, Andrew R. Smith

The $400 consult with Sam was total fiasco in legal competence, substantially worthless that he gave me a refund 🫢🫣 He dared to opine subjectively on one of my matters and say that he “felt uncomfortable to discuss this matter even though it is supposed to be my job”. Wow, please discipline this “#🫣employee” for ME and do provide me with a proper consultation and resources instead of giving me some general phone number of Burnham at the front desk. Judgement rendered on this law practice: legging behind on law advice. Disappointed.

Read the other 0 star reviews. This law firm is notorious for taking on your case, having you spend so much $$$ I mean thousands and then to just withdraw after 3-4 months. 0 STARS. Poor Poor Service.

After tens of thousands of dollars spent with no solution to our case and several lawyers later; they dumped us without even giving us an explanation or courtesy to let us know how to move forward with our matter. None of the lawyers that we were working with will respond to our email. After reading several reviews we feel that they treat lots of their clients this way. Whenever we would talk to a lawyer or associate at their firm, it was as if they had no idea what was going on with the case and would ask the same questions repeatedly. I am writing this in hopes it doesn’t happen to you or another loved one like what happened to my poor mother that has no means to keep fighting. Look elsewhere if you want serious lawyers that care about your case and won’t treat you like trash. Really unprofessional. If I could give a negative star. I would

I have worked with Burnham Law since Sept 29, 2020 trying to what felt like being on the defense even though I was the petitioner until they dropped me as a client after spending approximately $100k or more with out embellishing. I had to go through 5 attorney's while I had them retained because their turn over rate is though it's a corporate company which is how they treat their clients. I do not recommend ever using them. They will put you family and whole livelihood in jeopardy. I got more emails about the bill than I did on what was actually happening with the divorce. I've since found several attorneys with integrity and ethics. Burnham law is not one of those companies. I own multi million dollar companies and have dealt with lawyers for the last 20+ yrs whether it was for child custody or for business and I've never experienced the unprofessionalism I had experienced with them. They wanted $20K down for the trial in my divorce in December of last yr for a trial in August the next yr. I asked to go to mediation several times and they never came through. In February after I had paid them a min of $1000 per wk with no results I got mediation myself. They are thieves and no one should ever retain them... I don't say this out of malice... I say this because they are a joke and they do not provide results. Contact me and I can give you info to much better attorneys.
