My father-in-law, a teacher for 16-years, was charged with indecency with a child contact in 2019. He was arrested in September of 2019, but the initial outcry in the case was in 2016, when a student of his made this claim. However, the police department waited two years to file a case against my father-in-law. So, in January 2020, we hired Jim Burnham to represent my father-in-law.
With such a serious charge, there was doubt of how this case would end, but ultimately Jim Burnham had the case dismissed within 2020. Jim Burnham communicated with us through every step of the way and we could not be more appreciative of his hard work. Hiring Jim Burnham saved my father-in-law’s life.
The dedication and commitment Jim Burnham had for my father-in-law’s case was a light in such a dark time. Jim Burnham’s professionalism and experience were highly appreciated.
We could not thank Jim Burnham enough for saving my in-law from going to prison. My family is thankful for Jim Burnham and his office for all the hard work they did on my father-in-law’s case.

Back in 89 I was charged with a 2nd degree felony attempted murder. I was 18 at the time & my very first time ever going to jail. He was very professional straight to the point & went above & beyond to see that i was wrongfully accused. He got my case no billed & I'm very GREATFUL for this devoted hard working man. If I wouldn't of ever found him in sure my life would have a very different outcome. He was well worth every penny. Believe me when i say I.dont think he charges enough. He is life changing thats for sure. So if u ever get wrongfully accused of something this man will do whatever it takes to see the truth be told. THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR. BURNHAM!!! FOR BELIEVING IN ME & GIVING ME A SECOND CHANCE..

Jim Burnham is the most dedicated and caring lawyer I have ever met. From the moment of my first call to his office to the miraculous dismissal of my felony case, Jim has accomplished the impossible.
I was charged with felony invasive visual recording in 2019. Before Jim took over, my previous legal counsel told me my case was unsalvageable because I had basically confessed to everything. I was prepared to spend some time behind bars.
Jim took my case, assured me that he would take care of me, and proceeded to put together a presentation so thorough and effective that even I was convinced I deserved another shot at life.
Jim got me into a program that resulted in my entire case being dismissed. Eventually, I will be able to expunge the arrest and close this chapter of my life for good.
I am extremely grateful that I got the best lawyer in North Texas. But I also made a friend that I will treasure for the rest of my life. I was an out-of-state kid, living alone while my future hung in the balance. I had some dark days. In those moments of darkness and uncertainty, Jim also became a good friend of mine.
I am able to move on and work towards my career because of Jim Burnham's persistence and passion.

Jim Burnham’s Relentless Representation Saved My Career
I was arrested while I was enrolled in ROTC at my university. Because of my arrest, I was at risk of being expelled from ROTC, losing my scholarship, and having to pay back my tuition for previous years if my case was not dismissed. Jim Burnham saved me from this devastating outcome.
After one quick call, I was in Mr. Burnham’s office telling him everything that happened. Mr. Burnham wrote down every word I spoke and assured me that he was going to try to get my case dismissed. When I heard that I said to myself, “Dismissed? That would save me!”. Sticking to his word, Mr. Burnham relentlessly worked toward that goal, even during quarantine!
He got my case dismissed in time for me to stay in ROTC and keep my military career on track. Jim Burnham showed that he cared about me and my situation. I can honestly say that Jim Burnham saved my military career. He proved why he is known as one of the best criminal defense lawyers in Texas.

review is below:
"In 2017, I was charged with a sex-crime felony. I knew I had not committed any crime, and I felt I was a victim of circumstance, but I had no idea what to do.
Luckily, I was referred to Attorney Jim Burnham, who calmly walked me through the process of turning myself in and posting bond. I was worried about sitting in jail for a long time waiting for my bond to post, but the whole process was over within 12 hours.
After that, Jim got to work on my case. With such a serious charge, I did not think my case was going to end well. However, Jim called me every day (most days twice) to ask questions and update me on his progress. Jim invested a lot of time and hard work into representing me.
After months of work, Jim convinced the Dallas County Grand Jury to dismiss my case by returning a "no-bill." I was a free man.
I cannot express how grateful I am to Jim for his work on my case. I had no clue where to turn when I was blindsided by these charges. Jim answered all my questions, kept me informed, and used his expertise and work ethic to get my case dismissed.
A felony charge can destroy your life, but Jim made sure that didn't happen to me. I thought I was going to prison, but Jim Burnham saved me. If you are ever in trouble, your first move should be to call Jim Burnham."

Jim Burnham represented me during a federal investigation for selling counterfeit products. Due to Jim beginning to work on the case in the early stages, I was never arrested and was put in a pre-trial diversion program. I was then placed on probation for twelve months, but Jim got me an early release of probation after only ten months. I was so lucky that a friend recommended Jim to me. I could not ask for a better lawyer! Jim’s great efforts, experience, and professionalism are highly appreciated!

Jim Burnham was hired to represent me on a felony possession of a controlled substance (cocaine) after my previous counsel advised me to plead guilty to the felony. I did not want to plea guilty to a felony possession of a controlled substance, and I hired Jim Burnham to represent me.Jim's persistence in my case showed me he cared and was devoted to my case. Jim worked hard and he had my felony case reduced to a misdemeanor. I was beyond grateful that Jim Burnham had my case reduced to a misdemeanor and he worked tirelessly to resolve my case. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jim Burnham to anyone who needs a criminal defense attorney. Jim does npt stop working on a case until he receives the best result.

I was under investigation by the police for the felony charge of indecency with a child. The investigation lasted 5 months. Jim Burnham guided me every step of the way to achieve the best outcome. I was found not guilty and the police department closed the investigation. I am very thankful to have been represented by Jim Burnham. I felt he truly cared about me.
