From the get go; Mr. Burns treated me with nothing but respect. When it comes to what will happen to you and how things will go, he cut right to the chase and didn’t sugar coat it. My violation happened in Orange Beach; and would have not gone with anyone else.

Mr. Burns helped us with a difficult out of state adoption. He helped get us long term visits with the child during the preliminary process and placement of the child while the adoption process happens. We are grateful for all his hard work!

Mr. Burns is genuine, honest, professional, well educated, all a good human being. Mr. Burns took my family law and criminal case even under my own financial circumstances, he was to the point with no nonsense. Even under bond revocation and violation of conditional release Mr. Burns and Mrs. Debbie were able to not only resolve my criminal case they also never let me spend another day in jail away from my career and child. Mr. Burns still represents me for family law under a finance agreement that he took out of the goodness of his heart. Mrs. Debbie has been a guiding light through my criminal
