My son retained James Burns for criminal vop charges plus additional criminal charges, he should have been given 2 yrs in prison just for the vop charges alone but got off with only 90 days in work release and probation for the additional charges. Way to go Mr. Burns, thanks for your services ;)

I called this office to see if Mr.Burns was as caring of an attorney as previously stated, and would be inclined to take on my family law and/or criminal case. I was surprised to find myself on the phone with such a rude, presumptuous, derogatory man. After stating he normally helps single mother's in need, he chose to belittle me instead of taking my case. If you are subject to misfortune, do not call this office, as you will only find yourself more discouraged after doing so.

Mr. Burns really has went above and beyond for me. Even after my case was finish he helped with the early termination and with the reinstatement of my license across states. He's probably the best decision I made throughout this entire ordeal definitely recommend his services.

I’m writing this review for two reason. The first it to tell you to hire Mr. Burns as your DUI attorney. The second is tell anyone reading this review to HIRE AN ATTORNEY if heaven forbid you or a family member is charged with DUI. My son was arrested late last year for DUI on Pensacola Beach. My wife and I went through the pros and cons of hiring an attorney and decided that we would. Next we did a lot of research on which one we should go with. In reading many attorney’s website pages I noticed that quite a few had good reviews but not many reviews. I talked to a few of these at first but circled back to Mr. Burns because he had so many reviews. It was obvious that he had a lot of experience. We met with Mr. Burns shortly after and decided to have him represent our son. Through this process we found that Mr. Burns knows his business but on top of that, so does his staff. On our second meeting, we reviewed the dash cam and observation room video and found that we may indeed have a case for fighting the charge. Mr. Burns and his staff came up with a plan to submit a Motion to Suppress. The motion was submitted, we went to the hearing, and the case WAS DISMISSED. For parents reading this review, or anyone for that matter I can’t stress enough the importance of getting legal representation for a DUI charge. If we had not hired Mr. Burns, we would have gone through the court process, my son would have been convicted of DUI, and that would have stained his record forever. Mr. Burns and his staff is who you should choose to represent you. It may be one of the best decision you ever make. It certainly was for our family.

Mr. Burns cares a great deal about his clients. He assisted me throughout the entire process of my case. He is very knowledgeable and also very accessible. I would recommend him to anyone with confidence.

I have had the opportunity to use Mr. Burns on two separate occasions...eight years apart....and he has provided excellent legal advice...and has prevailed in court both times on my behalf...anytime one makes mistakes and needs legal counsel I have referred his firm and he has provided the same results...hands down the ONLY LAWYER I WILL EVER NEED....HE puts my mind at ease while being completely honest of my consequences...I am SO proud to have him in my corner...standing next to me...representing ME in court...free consultation....reasonably priced...and EFFECTIVE in the courtroom....Feeling blessed to not only call him my attorney...but ALSO my friend...thank you for what you and your team provide...forever grateful!!!

Had a really great experience with burns. He got all my charges dismissed allowing me to continue my life and go on to my career into the military! His staff is by far the best! He is all around a great and pleasent person! I recommend him to anyone who needs a awesome lawyer! Thank you Burns to you and your staff!

Mr burns got me out of a tough situation. He takes his cases very seeiously and thanks to him getting me a second chance, i get to carry on with my life and make the right choices

I had found myself in a problematic situation that required an individual with a skill set I did not have. James Burns was this individual. He provided me with adequate service at a fair price and got me the best results possible. I would call upon him again if the need ever occurred. Very good services with a professional and polite staff!!

James is an excellent attorney who has not only helped me but also many clients that I have referred to him. He is extremely well connected and resolves cases quickly and efficiently. If you have a criminal, probate or family matter pending in northwest Florida then he is your guy!
