Customer's reviews

We are extremely grateful for the services provided by the Law Office of James Burns. James and his team are conscientious of our needs and extremely precise with providing us with the guidance necessary to secure our family estate. From our initial conversation over the phone, our preparation session, to the final execution of the trust, we felt completely at ease knowing that we were in safe and competent hands. In addition, the finalized trust includes the guidance our trustees will need to ensure an organized, smooth, and legally protected process to manage our estate during which undoubtedly will be an emotional event in its own right. Five stars is not enough for the positive experience and attentive assistance we received. Thank you James. ~ DOCK W
First and foremost, James is a legit, Force Recon US Marine. In other words, you already know that he is "swift, silent and deadly" when dealing with your legal matters, as he was as a hard charging devil dog. James has represented me in several legal matters, and as a general rule I try and only hire former Marines. As a Marine myself, I know we have all gotten "one good deal after another" and we tend to be the only ones looking out for eachother. This guy is freakin good to go, locked on and squared away. I hope to see hi this weekend in Carlsbad at the MADD fundraiser at my booth. Semper Fi James and thanks for all you do for vets and the downtrodden who are under your protection as a member of the California State Bar and officer of the court. "Gangway, RECON Marine!" ~ Michael E
