I was looking to update our family trust and also develop an estate plan. My wife and I reached out to Mr. James Burns, ESQ. to provide this service. We were not referred to Mr. Burns nor had we ever done business with him in the past. I had researched professionals in our area who did this work. I was impressed with the responsiveness over the phone of Mr. Burns and his office staff and scheduled an in office appointment for my wife and I.Before meeting with Mr. Burns, we were asked to fill out a questionnaire which he would use to focus on during our meeting. At the first meeting Mr Burns reviewed the questionnaire, asked for additional documents, shared his fee’s to do the work, and scheduled a following date to sign our documents.My wife and I found Mr. Burns to be very thorough with great attention to detail. My wife had some anxiety about the process, and Mr. Burns was compassionate and patient to alleviate her concerns. Mr. Burns guided us through the process and he made sure that our wishes regarding the estate plan were met.At the second meeting, We reviewed and signed our documents. We were given a binder that included all the documents which will make it easy to refer to in the future.I would highly recommend James Burns to anyone looking for this service!

We just finished working with Mr. Burns for a second time to set up a joint trust and also to appoint us as health care/property agents for our adult sons should this ever become necessary. The process was intensive, emotional and involved many questions on our behalf. Just like the first time when an individual stand alone trust was executed, James was professional and accommodating. His work products and attention to detail are exquisite. We have so much faith in James that he is named as our Trust Guardian. We are very thankful to have all of our “ducks in a row” and can definitely recommend this law firm without reservation.

I highly recommend the Law Office of James Burns for your Estate Planning needs. I procrastinated doing this for a very long time since I was scared it was expensive and complex. However, that was not the case, with Mr. Burns it was easy and affordable. It only took two one-hour sessions to have all the docs prepared and signed in front of a notary for ease. A few days later I had a beautifully organized binder with all my official documents for easy access. On top of that, you get all the docs digitally as well. I shouldnt have waited, and you shouldnt either!

My mom needed to amend her trust. We found Mr. Burns after looking locally for someone with good reviews. We scheduled an initial consolation and met with him to discuss restating the trust. Mr. Burns offers a complete estate planning portfolio including trust, will, POA, AHCD, HIPPA, etc. It was great to be able to get all of these important documents together from one place and for one reasonable price. He made the process very easy. It took only two weeks to complete the entire process and you get a very nice portfolio binder with the originals and electronic copies that can be saved to an online vault. Overall we had a great experience with him.

I have known/worked with Attorney James burns for over eighteen years. The reason I have sent him many many estate planning clients over the years can be summed up in a word, integrity.James Burns is a high-minded man & a gentleman who has build a strong practice based on integrity. I suggest you consult with him for any pressing legal matter.

Review №113

2021-05-22 06:36:24

Attorney Burns created a Trust for my family. He seriously disappointed us when he claimed he could provide a care Trust for our 88 year old mom to receive a settlement she won and to be used for living and medical expenses. The Trustee we hired to manage this Trust rejected the Trust document Mr. Burns wrote. It was completely incorrect for what the needs were. Instead of correcting the problem Mr. Burns made every invalid excuse he could, did not admit fault and refused to provide a refund for his services which were faulty at best. We have reviewed the Trust doc he wrote with two other Trust attorneys and they agree the document was written incorrectly for what it is supposed to achieve. For the unsuccessful performance, lack of accountability and unwillingness to refund $3000 for a botched job, we are taking our Trust management elsewhere and not recommending Attorney James Burns.

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!
