John Burns is a total Bias bafoon! He was appointed court executor for my father in law. He advocated for a very abusive person that evidence is abundance in the court for being abusive . I think he was paid off for personal favors. Because for how questionable bias his report was and he was a babbling imbecile on the stand. He could not explain his reasoning for any of his conclusions. This firm should can him. He is sloppy and unprofessional and just a slime ball attorney who did absolutely nothing positive . He can’t even tell you how long he has been practicing and we are not talking about 50+ yrs he would guess anywhere from 4-6 years? How embarrassing. He is also a total creeper . Beware! If you call this firm I’d say avoid John Burns at all cost. Sorry for the bad review but Mr.Burns is incompetent

Mr.Burns who represents this firm is a bias disgrace who absolutely does not know what he is doing. He is my Father’s court appointed executor very sadly. He has no experience or knowledge of his job. He wrote up an extremely bias report where the multiple people (3) he reported about all say he has completely misrepresented information conveyed to him . His appearance looks nothing like his photo online. His appearance would give some a guess he has a substance problem. He must not be liked at his firm because his last appearance in December on my fathers case he was told he may leave the court room and replied he doesn’t mind sticking around because he rather be here than at his law firms Christmas party. Everyone in the court room looked at him in shock to such a reply. Is the firm full of bullies and poor Mr.Burns? Or is he just such an imbecile he can not match the energy of people at his office that know how to do their job and represent? It is associates like this in your firm who will fumble the ball and ruin a reputation that the law firm would like to have for future clients. Sorry if this firm does not deserve a 1 star but your associate Mr.Burns earned this for you .

Michael Cook wrote a trust for my 89 year old mother. It was such a quick and simple meeting and the house was in the trust the next day. I cannot recommend him more highly. What a lovely person - he treated us with the utmost respect and I couldn't be happier with his service. Thank you, Mike!
