What Other Attorneys Say

“John is one of the top personal injury lawyers in Orange County, California.”

John is one of the top personal injury lawyers in Orange County, California. Not only does he have very impressive credentials as an experienced trial lawyer, I’m also impressed with what John did before becoming an attorney (U.S. marine and airline captain). It’s obvious to me that John’s a man, and lawyer, you can trust and someone who will give your case the time and effort it deserves. One more thing… John and I both practice the same type of law. While my endorsement of John might result in my firm losing a case or two to him, I’m comfortable with doing so because I know for a fact that he’ll always put the client’s best interest first. And when it’s all said and done, that’s what it’s all about. Helping people! John, it’s a pleasure to know you!

Car Accident

“I received a pay out well beyond my wildest hopes!”

Attorney John Burns knew my case would not be an easy one: I had pre-existing back pain and the MRIs weren’t showing major changes in the structure of my spine. Yet my pain had increased after the collision to the point that I couldn’t work, bowl or travel. John believed in my case. He attended my doctor appointments and taught me the tools to communicate my pain to the insurance company’s attorney. We “won” the case without going to trial. I received a pay out well beyond my wildest hopes! I strongly recommend attorney John Burns to anyone injured in an accident.

Airplane Accident

“The airplane was owned by us and the insurance company did not want to pay because ‘I was not killed in the crash’…”

Our case was unusual, that it did not exactly involve “personal injury!” This case was a tragic accident in which three people died as a result of an airplane crash. The airplane was owned by us and the insurance company did not want to pay because “I was not killed in the crash.” It was statements like these that really infuriated me and these fine attorneys. Not only did they work diligently to solve the “monetary” problems, but also to assured my family and me that things would turn out A.O.K., and that it was not our fault. The personal and professional attention that these attorneys gave us could not be reflected in the fees charged, so here I return the favor of their concerns for our well being though this case, by highly referring them to anyone with a problem, especially with insurance companies.
