Awful place to work. He pressures young attorneys to bill for unnecessary work.

2 January 2020

First of all, this is the most legit and real law firm in all of my law service search in LA. (Won't get any better)My search for a quality law service has been bumpy ride. I was in a simple divorce case that got dragged on for a year and half (counting when this case is going to be finished by) due to this incompetent/scam (idk which one, but either way it really sucked to have had a bad lawyer) then I was finally fed up and decided to find another law service firm. And Gosh, how I hated the way many law firms sounded like. For all the ones I called (just based on my yelp search in LA area), they wouldn't even talk to me about my problem/case until I fork out 100 dollar consultation fee first! Or in another scenario, the paralegal or whoever would just quote me a price based on my case type, which sounds ALOT like "give me your money first, don't mention about a refund because I've got bar license and some 5 star reviews, and then maybe I'll help you on your petty case". Now money is not the main problem, but how I got scammed in the first place, was because I forked money up front and relied solely on the lawyer's good faith to do justice (very noob move). With that been said, and I'll say it again, all other firms with their head so high up in their own arse sure as hell lost another client, who also be willing to testify online of one's service and quality.Enough of my law search experience rant. So, I was about to give up before finishing my last call randomly on yelp and stumbled upon Nigel's firm. Starting with my first phone call, all the way to talking with the lawyer, everyone from start to finish was VERY compassionate. They placed my concern as their first priority of conversation. Although after my search experience, I was already familiar with the pricing range and fees etc, but the personnel at nigel's never started with the here's-the-retainer-before-we-start-just-in-case-you-don't-have-the-money-for-our-service. So, having had experienced the conversations with their front desk, to Monica (paralegal) to Brandon (my assigned lawyer) were all very pleasant. They made you feel your problem matters. On top of that, their retainer policy is pleasant and humane as my conversation with them. They really understand the meaning of retainer, and bill it as so. They lay out their services rendered each month and send invoices for my FYI so everything is transparent (that was a first in my law service search experience, I always thought retainer in law service sense was stupid money thrown). So I guess this is the overall vibe of law space in SoCal where it's all about "show me the money", and that's what differentiated Nigel's for me from the rest and it's Jan 2nd, my simple case finally heard back result from the court and I'll have one less problem in life. Thanks Monica and Brandon, is work with you guys in a heart beat if I ever need legal services next time (of course, Not that I'm wishing for it to happen). More...

Great experience!  Brandon was diligent and thoughtful walking me through a prenup, adding changes where it made sense and communicating directly with my fiancé's attorney to get the whole thing wrapped up in a couple days.  Thanks!

Nigel was a life saver for me! When my current attorney quit the day before trial, Nigel was referred to me, and I was not disappointed. He called me several times while he was on vacation with his family and really took the time to help me, before we even met! He was able to negotiate good long term support for me.

My experience with Nigel Burns and his law firm was excellent. Nigel and his team communicated with me every step of the way, even when I had a lot of questions and was uncertain of the process, Nigel explained things throughout.  Any litigation matter can be daunting, but if you have an attorney who is communicating day, night and weekends to explain things, it really makes the overall process less overwhelming. Nigel and his team did this.  I was happy with the outcome and highly recommend the law firm and the services they provide. More...

Nigel Burns Law Offices helped me through one of the hardest times in my life. They were not just really talented lawyers, it felt like they actually cared about me and my case. I never felt like a file to them, or worse, a check. Nigel met with me to strategize and brainstorm. In his even-keeled way, he never wavered being emotionally supportive and even making me laugh. Branden did the most work on my case and he was always available by phone or in person. He treated my case like I was in his family. Both of them walked me through everything and informed me of what to expect. This was particularly helpful in depositions, mediations, court appearances and all of the things that come with a very difficult divorce. I also have gratitude for when I needed to vent or was angry and frustrated, they were there to listen. Beyond being superior in their legal advice, Nigel Burns Law Offices supported me in every way I could and could not imagine needing support. I do not think I would have gotten through this legal and emotional rollercoaster with as much ease and success without them. More...

I found these law offices through yelp and I'm really glad I did. Everyone at this office is welcoming and kind and they do their best to make you feel as comfortable as possible. I can sometimes over talk but they are understanding and listen to every word you have to say while genuinely listening to you. It had been over a month since I was able to be with my dog while going through my divorce and once I hired them they were able to get me temporary custody within a week. I was so surprised but overjoyed and extremely happy with the results. Through this process there are difficult feelings that can cloud your judgment but because they have experience they know how situations can play out and guide you in the right direction. They really look out for what's in your best interest. If you're looking for a law firm that makes you feel really well taken care of choose them. More...

I am so grateful to Nigel Burns Law Offices. Both Brandon and Nigel have helped me through such a difficult time. I have felt safe with them. If that makes sense. Throughout my child custody case my ex and his lawyer have gone to desperate and extreme measures. It has been such a tough emotional roller coaster. Brandon and Nigel are not only really knowledgeable they are superior lawyers.They supported me in every way. Brandon does such great job of explaining what was going on every step of the way. He breaks it down so I can understand, most of the legal terminology is over my head. He has sort of a "tuff love" way about him that I found very helpful. He is extremely thorough and talented. He made me feel like I was their only case. They were there when I needed quick legal advice as well as listening to my frustrations. Nigel has a very even-keeled way about him, and an Irish humor that got me to laugh even if I was crying. He is very talented and professional. And he was available even after normal business hours going above and beyond. If there is such a thing as "bedside manor" with lawyers they have it. They put a stop to the other lawyers shenanigans and practice law with a moral code. I am beyond grateful for them. More...

I've worked with many lawyers and many different types of lawyers over the years and the Nigel Burns Law Offices is one of the best. In fact, I really can't say enough good things about Nigel Burns and his associates. Nigel was my attorney for a wrongful death lawsuit, the case wasn't straightforward but Nigel and his associate Brandon wrote a very compelling mediation brief — one that I thought captured the very essence of the case. Because of this we settled for more than I ever thought we would. I found Nigel to be professional and caring. He really does seem to care about his clients, I never once sensed that he was faking it like so many lawyers do. I also thought he did a good job of setting expectations throughout the process. I have so much respect for Nigel Burns and his associates that I hired him to handle family law matter for me. I trust them.

Even though I was extremely satisfied with the results of my custody and support case (Brandon luckily referred to as a "one shot in a million"), I found it hard to write my review after the hearing was over (even after, I am came out with the best results one can have in my instance). This was an extremely emotional and terrifying experience, but through the grace of God and luck, I was directed to Nigel's page after being called in for an emergency custody hearing by my ex. Nigel called me back right away and told me my options and the cost. He was willing to work with my budget and miraculously see me the same day (the hearing only gave me 24 hour notice). He situated me with Brandon Wyman and they got to work preparing my case, emotionally supporting me as well as throwing in some tough love to get my head wrapped around what will be a nightmare of an experience in the upcoming months. My ex was extremely vindictive and spent much time and money trying to pull me into court, knowing full well, funds were limited. But Nigel and Brandon were not in it for the money. They worked with my budget and cases (yes, that's right...there was 3 total in the span of a month) not detrimental for their attendance; they assisted me in representing myself. Brandon WAS there, however for my support, custody (and the most difficult cases to win-I've been hearing), a MOVE AWAY order so I could be closer to family and my support net. He guided me through the process, gave me tough love and counseled me for the upcoming battle. He was extremely honest about what he thought the results would be at the end. There was no sugar coating what the possible outcomes would be. Needless to say, both of us were extremely surprised to have my move away order granted as well as be given primary custody. I couldn't have done it without Brandon nor Nigel's help. I apologize deeply that it's taken me this long to write but after a traumatic episode, I needed some time to deal. My children and I are very happy with our new start and life up in the Bay area. All I can say is be prepared for your case, help your attorney any way possible, listen to his advice and be aware of cost analysis vs. court cost. Brandon was super knowledgable and knew his stuff. One extremely handy tip: Their offices are across the street from LA courthouse in DTLA. It was super convenient to be allowed to park in their office, and walk with my attorney to the courthouse before our hearing. I wasn't worried about making it on time or in a traumatic case like mine, feel alone during my court hearing. Also, when we needed last minute documents or copying, Brandon was able to get his assistant to run over to him while we waited our turn.Did they cost an arm and a leg? Of course, because they are the best and they are attorneys. But it was worth it for peace of mind for that missing arm and leg. Which I have up here. Thank you Brandon and Nigel...from the bottom of my heart and my kids' heart. You guys helped me fight the good fight and we won. More...

I have to immediately qualify those five stars by noting I am not Mr. Burns' client. I was at a crossroads in my case with another attorney - at such a crucial juncture, I felt compelled to consult other attorneys to make sure we were on the right track. Nigel was kind enough to speak with me at length, and he clarified a few points that made me much more comfortable with where my representation was taking the case. In other words, faced with an opportunity to make relatively easy money by picking up a case in progress, Nigel shared his expertise - for free - in a way that assured me my lawyer wasn't doing anything wrong. He passed up the cash to do the right thing -- that has to be a high endorsement for a lawyer, right?  That's why I chose the five-star rating, despite not being his client. He certainly didn't deserve a review that could besmirch his reputation. He displayed impressive knowledge and behaved ethically. I'm grateful for his counsel. More...

First, I'm thankful for the Yelp platform where we can view honest written reviews of personal experiences to help decide whether to visit a business or pass it up. The positive reviews for the Law Offices of Nigel Burns helped make my decision to schedule an appointment with them last year.I had a year-long journey w/Nigel so I can truly attest to his focus & determination as well as that of his team of associates.  I'd say from the start my matter was a difficult one because there were statute of limitation issues.  Initially, Diana Hamlin(very thorough and professional) handled my case.  Progressively, it became visibly more complex & contentious with the other party so Nigel took over.  When it came time to depose the other party, because of Nigel's thoughtful approach & definitive questions he was able to extract answers we needed to greatly help our case.  The other party then offered to settle & in the end it was an overall victory for me and my sister.  (My sister has CP & Nigel & his team were very sweet with her from day one.  Their kindness towards her throughout the entire process assured me I had chosen the right law firm to represent us).  I'm sincerely grateful to Nigel for standing up to represent us & I highly recommend his services if you're in need of professional legal representation.  You'll feel at ease discussing the very private issues of your case with Nigel & his team.. they're very personable.  With the combination of his many years of experience & his associates hard work they're a winning team & will push very hard to provide you with a successful end result.In closing, what began for me years ago as a personal & emotional struggle had become a game to the opposing party in my case.. so finding Nigel last year & asking for his help turned that struggle into a journey that finally ended last month with a very positive outcome!  I'm truly grateful to Nigel and his team!

If you're looking at Yelp reviews of Law Offices near You, It's probably because you're facing a crisis of legal consequence and need a lawyer. In December 2015 a legal action against my husband and our s-corp threatened the future of the business  we built together - the center of our lives. However corny this sounds, the truth is that Nigel restored the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel when he accepted our case. I'll expand on why I agree with Yelper Mark N. who said is best when he wrote... " There is no need to shop around..." Nigel is accessible - He returned my initial phone call within 20 minutes...on Saturday afternoon of a 3 day weekend. After agreeing to help, he immediately sent necessary documents to my inbox. By Sunday morning he officially represented our corporation in a (totally bogus) lawsuit.  Each subsequent communication was equally efficient.Nigel is Attentive -  Nigel understood the suit which named my husband and our business after our initial 15 minute phone call. The lawyer who was initially advising my husband took 5 precious days to read the summons and advise that although we did have a defense we would need another attorney to represent the business as an s-corp and it would take 3 days for him to refer us. Basically, those 5 days cost the allowable response time we had to present the facts of our defense.  Nigel is Respectful - Who knew "respectful " and "lawyer" could be used symbiotically in the same sentence?  Since I'm livin' fast & loud in California, Nigel Burns Law Office isn't the first  attorney I've hired. I fully expected that he would speak to me with an air of annoyance which intends to convey that not only is my attorney the smartest guy in the room but I'm the dumbest gal in the room - wouldn't that make anyone a little bit nervous? I prepared for an inferiority complex to add to my fear and uncertainty; instead, Nigel's friendly, easy demeanor had a disarming and calming effect. He asked me several times before hanging up if I had any questions for him. Very Impressed.Nigel is honest - Of course the retainer fee and associated court costs were discussed during our initial phone consult. Again I was surprised that instead of deferring to an assistant or secretary to talk money, Mr. Burns outright explained his retainer fee and how his fee might compare in the industry. Nigel Burns is Ethical - Along the lines of honesty, I believe Nigel Burns delegated wherever possible, any tasks and communications relevant to representing our interests. This savaed us money in the end. Nigel Burns is a Great Attorney - Our nightmare ended before it really started thanks to Nigel Burns, Diana Hamlin and the Law Offices of Nigel Burns. More...
