Verified ClientHired Attorney 2018When a recent occasion necessitated the filing of a formal medical complaint I considered my writing skills more than adequate for the task. Moments before clicking "send," I decided to seek a lawyer's review. It was my good fortune to come across Mr. Burnside's name when Googling lawyers. How he tweaked what I had written into something so much more succinct and to-the-point was nothing short of astounding. I felt that the clarity of the final product was more likely to make the desired impression on the agency. I am grateful to Mr. Burnside. The office person was extremely helpful and pleasant in navigating through all the paper work and correspondence, helping to make an unpleasant task more manageable.
