We live out of state and needed an attorney in the Minneapolis area to help us with a bogus issue involving a franchise based in that city. After reading many reviews for Minneapolis attorneys we decided to give Patrick Burns a call. Boy, we are glad we did. He was easy to talk to right away and didn't talk to us in all that "lawyer talk" that you can't understand. He talked to us using simple words we could comprehend. We hired him and within a few days the franchise that was trying to bully us backed off and dropped their "so-called" case against us. Mr. Burns did an outstanding job for us and we will definitely use him again when and if the need arises. Thank you Patrick.

I tried finding a local lawyer and none of them would help me out. I finally went to the SD Bar website and they sent me Patrick Burns phone number. He is the only lawyer who would help me. It was very last minute before my unemployment appeal when he finally received all the information necessary to defend my case. He did an excellent job and I won my case. I have his number saved in my phone because I will definitely call him again if I need his help.

My husband and I had a somewhat unusual case, and after a couple months trying different routes we had pretty much run out of options to resolve our issue. We met with Mr. Burns and within one month our case was resolved. Mr. Burns is professional and compassionate, and we couldn’t be more happy with the results.

There was very little hope that the case we presented to Patrick could be won in our favor. We thought. Words can not describe the emotions that we felt when Patrick called to tell us we had won the case!!! He was up to challenge and beat the system. I have shared this victory by Patrick with others and everyone said it was unheard of. Simply put, FANTSTIC ! Brian

I contacted Patrick burns to help with a identity theft/ tax fraud issue. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He kept me up to date with all communications and information in regards to my case. No other attorney at the time would take my case but Patrick was confident he could help.

I was referred to Patrick Burns by Hennepin Bar Association. I lived out of state and was in a need of a lawyer in the Minnesota area. I was told by bar association that Patrick would contact me at a specific time and to much surprise I got the phone call at specified time, on the exact hour. Punctuality is important and your word is even more important. He proved himself to uphold both!!!! Patrick never promised anything nor did he give me any false hope, actually he made it clear that it could possibly be a hard case to win. I prayed and with the guidance of God hired him as my attorney. I do not regret the hiring of this attorney. He and his assistant Collen Sparke (such a beautiful woman of God with a humble and sweet spirit) worked diligently on my case keeping in contact with me on a consistent basis, gathering information, and always quickly responding whenever I reached out to them for question and seeking guidance. Constantly reassured me throughout the process that we would be ready when the day come!! On the day of my hearing, Patrick showed up and showed out. He controlled the hearing, he actually controlled the atmosphere of the room!!!!! I did win my case and Patrick and Colleen was awesome in leading me to the victory. If you in need of a lawyer in or around Minnesota that's willing to work with you and fight for you Patrick definitely will be a great choice!

I was on the verge of losing my x-ray license and had to attend a hearing, in Saint Paul, MN. A friend and co-worker, who was in similar situation, did some research and found Patrick. After hiring him, she gave me his information. After talking to him and much pray, I too hired Mr. Burns. What a bless decision. He and his paralegal(Colleen) were very supportive, honest and available to me as they help me prepare for my hearing. Even though I lived in Montgomery Alabama, I never had any problems talking with him about my case. When I flew to Saint Paul for my hearing, he met me at his office and gave me the run down of how he plan to represent me. The only promise he made me was that he would put forth max effort to defend me. At hearing, he vigorously advocated for me at my hearing. The hearing took place in October 2016 and in November of 2016, the licensing board allowed me keep my license. I credit that decision to my faith in God and Mr. Patrick R Burns. I would recommend him, whole heartily to anyone who needed an excellent lawyer. He truly been blessing for me and my family.

I am so glad that I called Patrick Burns to handle my unemployment case. After wrongfully being fired an denied unemployment benefits. I really was not sure how to fight this alone. Patrick was very professional and knowledgeable on how to go about getting great results. It felt good to have someone that is honest and hard working on my side. I would refer Pactrick Burns in a heart beat.

I was at my witsend with my situation. After doing my research, I was referred to the Patrick Burns law firm. After explaining my situatio, he immediately jumped into action on my case. Keep in mind I live in Atlanta and he is in Minnesota, this was not a factor, through clear communication and constant update we were able to reach a resolution in 2 1/2 months. I could not have been happier with Mr. Burns services. I have no hesitations when making a reccomendation for the Burns Law Firm. When it comes to taking on big institutions, the Burns Law Firm can handle it. I am very happy with the results!

I hired Patrick to help with matters relating to a prospective employment contract. It was/has been an excellent experience. Patrick was thorough, objective and walked me through the process in a very patient way. It was great to have someone in my corner and someone whom I could trust and someone who approached things in a nonjudgmental, fact based way. My particular case was multi-faceted and particularly nuanced. Patrick was able to keep up with the facts of my case, suggest differing angles of attack and helped me think through various decision points. Patrick's extensive experience with arbitration matters was also helpful in regards to providing a pragmatic and reasonable thought process. I have absolutely NO hesitation in recommending Patrick as an excellent employment matter / financial services attorney.

I contacted Pat Burns a year or two ago. I had been calling tons of lawyers due to my current (at that time attorney) was way out of line in regards to ethics and Legal malpractice. However, Pat went way out of his way at no cost to me doing some research and provided me with some referrals out of state as my case was out of state. After about 1 year and no other attorney was willing to take my already messed up case I contacted Pat Burns again, as the last lawyer I was going to contact before having to make some very difficult choices thanks to my (former) attorney. Pat was so frustrated with my attorney and the terrible face he put on Pat Burns chosen career field. Pat chose to assist me even though Pat was well aware of the fact I was not rich and Pat most likely would be assisting me close to a Pro Bono rate. Pat & I were put between a rock and a hard place by a judge. Pat still gave it 110% of his professionalism. We finalized my case in a better some than nothing scenario. He never quits it's not in him . IF you need a good lawyer in his field he is your man. I will always contact Patrick Burns if I ever need an attorney. If anyone asks me if I know of a good attorney PAT BURNS will be my first and only referral!! Thanks for your dedication Pat it is greatly appreciated!!!
