Reviews

Run from this Burnight lawyer! I was going to have him do a super easy deed transfer for me. Turns out he basically knew zero about the new prop19 laws and special exception forms you need to fill out to avoid reassessment. Doing simple investigating by myself, a call to the Assessors Office and I found out my property assessment is not changing. This lawyer charged me HUGE just to call and do an inquiry about doing my deed. HE DID NOT TELL ME HE WAS BILLING ME FOR A BASIC CALL INQUIRY. Very very unethical. On top of charging for a phone call, he begged me to come in for a free consolation. I basically found out this guy knows zero about current Deed Transfer Laws and wanted to play games with lien searches and charge me monster money for just the consolation with ZERO retainer signed yet. DO NOT GO TO THIS LAWYER FOR ANYTHING PERTAINING TO DEEDS AND TRUSTS. He way overcharges and would take way too long. I found another great lawyer that will do the deed transfer, living trust and healthcare directive for around 600 in just 2-3 days. Burnight wanted over 4000-6000 for just the one new deed.
Mr. Burnight was very attentive to our needs and desires as we updated our trust due to our children becoming legal adults. Very thorough in review of our situation, provided very good guidance and suggestions. I highly recommend.
Waste of money! Didn't do a thing for me to protect my interests or uncover illegally hidden assets. It felt as if i had no representation at all.
Excellent attorneys. Very competent, knowledgeable, and professional.
