Thomas M Burns, ESQ Attorney at Law

I was very disappointed with Thomas Burns services. He was not knowledgeable at all with a judgement against me to garnish my wages. He was not able to read the complaint and tell me in legal terms what we could do. I had to explain the lawsuit to him. He then became very rude and rushing me as if it was a hassle to assist a potential client. I asked his advice on filing for bankruptcy and he was very condescending with his answers considering I don’t know the law and was asking him for help. He had no knowledge of how to gain my credit report even though he charged me an extra $ 50 to get my credit report. Then I was told I have to do all the leg work he was there to just guide me. I paid him $ 385 for him to guide me and he had no knowledge of how any of this works. When I requested a refund due to the fact he was not helpful he tells me he will give it to me when and if he decides to go to the bank. I pretty much had to keep requesting my money back then he finally decided to give me a check for the full amount. Experience was awful will never go back nor recommend anyone to go there. As a matter of fact I am going to report this behavior to my legal services group who referred him thru my employer. His office is in ancient times, he does not have a computer and is still filing everything thru paperwork. Which it took his secretary forever to go thru all her paperwork to find my case. They did not have any order to their filing system, office is a mess full of papers from the floor to the ceiling. And they are not updated to even receive credit card payments. I had to go get cash to pay him. Which the secretary had to give me a handwritten receipt. How unprofessional. Very disappointed!

Made an appointment to meet with Thomas Burns then realized that his office was way across town and not where I thought it was but decided to go and do the trek anyway. My first impression? His office was not the most glamorous but don’t let that sway you I then met Mr Burns and my first impression was someone that knew what he was doing instantly even though he wasn’t in a suit or portrayed the stereotypical attorney image I felt very comfortable with him. Reminded me of a sleeper, from outward appearance seems harmless enough but then they surprise you with what they know and can do. I would recommend him highly he tells it like it is and his no holds barred personality is a pleasant change from other attorneys I am still working with him and feel that this is going to turn out better than I expected. Stay tuned!
