She represented my brother in a criminal case but did not practice criminal law and even set him up thinking that the courts didn’t know something that they already knew. She will take your money and run

I was working with Karen M Burns from February to April 28, 2020. She has ghosted me and the case, that she sent a demand letter for. I last spoke with her on April 28 and it is July 7th and she has not returned any of my calls (I call weekly) and has not returned any of my 16 emails. I have received no explanation, her receptionists say they just saw her a few days ago, and she's never expressed any doubts in taking the case. We are now hearing back from the opposing party but Miss Burns has ruined the case as she will not communicate.

Hired attorney Karen Burns on October 23,2018. The firm is called Burns Iwuji, PLLC. I was searching for an attorney and found them on, Fathers Rights in Texas website. My mother first spoke with attorney Burns on September 2018, which was I’m assuming the free consultation. My mother met with attorney Iwuji and was charged a consultation fee which was odd because my mother clearly stated she was there to hire them. I did google the firm before we met and at that time they had great reviews. However, both of this attorney will charge for possibly everything they can. Even the air you breath if possible. Attorney Iwuji mentioned that a portal was going to be set up. This was the way of us communicating with the firm and keeping up with charges incurred. The portal was set up a month after we hired them. I never received and invoice from them until June 2019 asking for more money because we had no more funds. First court date was scheduled for Dec; 2018 it was rescheduled. Second court date 2/26/2019, judge gave the mother more time to hire and atty. I was before the judge no more than 5 minutes yet I was charged 2 hrs. Third court date 3/14/2019 we were there maybe 45 minutes I was charged for another 2 hrs. Attorney Burns, constantly wanted to meet to go over our case. Every time we met with her we were charged for 2 hrs. Now, keep in mind we didn’t know about the charges because up until the last time we met we hadn’t received and invoice. I would send atty Burns emails over and over again with no response. If I called the office because she wouldn’t reply and spoke them for like literally 2-3 minutes I was charged $30. I have plenty of proof to show how incompetent this attorney was. Absolutely nothing was accomplished. My daughter is still in an abuse home. I lost money and time form work. I believed and trusted attorney Burns. Now, I truly believe this firm was a RIP off. Unfortunately, I can’t say to do your research before hiring anyone because I did. I lost thousands of dollars and I’ve also lost hope in the justice system. I pray to God every day that he keeps my daughter safe. *We hired them to have a court ordered already in place be modified. (atty made an agreement w/the mother for extended time from March –June 2019) *I have several police reports on mother for not showing up to pick up my daughter. *I have police reports and videos of mother showing up an hour late to drop off or to pick up my daughter. *I have pictures of the physical abuse *Mother was ordered to change last name on my daughter it’s been 3 years and it hasn’t been done yet. *Mother has long history with CPS. *And the list goes on and on.

7 minutes ago I wish I could give Karen Burns a zero star. I hired this attorney a few years ago. I’m finally giving my rating. ***BE AWARE OF THIS ATTORNEY****SPEAKING FROM MY EXPERIENCE. She took my money and did nothing with my case. I live out of state but had a divorce decree order in Texas. I hired her to modify the child support. At the time, I was a single parent and I had save up money to hire her. I asked several times for an itemized invoice, she never once provided. She refused all of my phone calls and never gave me an itemized invoice of what she did. After leaving several emails, phone calls and voicemails, she withdrew herself from my case. To this day she has not given me invoice of what she did. This attorney is a rip off. Again, speaking from my experience. It sad to say that I was taken advantaged just because I lived out of state. That’s not how you treat people. She is very unprofessional, does not communicate and will take your money. I definitely took a loss. I strongly believe that referrals come from good services and this one did not meet any good services. Hope you can save yourself from wasting your time, money & energy and do not hire this attorney. Im sharing my experience to help you.

Yes when reporting about Miss Burns I only have one thing to say. Fantastic. I've had to family court cases with Miss Burns and she always knows the perfect direction to go. Great for any man trying to obtain custody of his son. And even better at Divorce Court.

She was courteous and patient with me. Being that it was my first time in court i was not sure where to park or where the building even was. She was very professional & also helped me to understand the plea. I appreciate her kindness and her hardwork. She sent me a copy of the document and made sure i had everything i needed. I have recommended you all to many. Thanks for all your help Ms. Karen

I needed a good family attorney. Attorney Burns was and is awesome. She helped me get through my divorce and child custody. I am very pleased with her. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking a great attorney. Thank you Karen for everything. God bless you.

I had started the divorce process myself and needed help with the divorce decree and finalizing the court date. Ms Burns was awesome. She was very attentive and patient with all of my requests. I will definitely recommend her anyone looking for for a divorce lawyer.

I went to Karen Burns looking for an easy divorce even though the process wasn't easy because my ex spouse live out of town. My first visit all I had to do was fill out a quick questionnaire and she did the rest

Ms. Burns did a wonderful job handling my case. Explained exactly what to expect so there was no surprises. Case was handled professionally & quickly. I would definitely hire Ms. Burns again.

Excellent and awesome representation, fully satisfied, i highly recommend !!!
