Timothy J. Burns - Indianapolis, IN

Tim Burns treated me like a piece of garbage. He kept me waiting for my appointment with him for over 45 minutes in an office with the heat turned up over 80. One of the biggest issues of my disability is my inability for my body to maintain normal blood pressure. I have been hospitalized for it 3 times and they can't figure it out. When I met with Timmy, he didn't bother to go over my records. I have a type of epilepsy (left temporal lobe) that can cause this. I also have extremely high adrenal levels, well over twice the normal amounts which causes bouts of extreme hypertension. So, my paperwork was received in their office on 10/7, my meeting with him was 10/14. He and/or his paralegal or secretary didn't read through everything because epilepsy and the endocrine disorder were never presented to the judge. My biggest issue with Mr. Burns is that he implied I was a PANSY. He told me a B.S. parable about how he missed a family vacation because he was hospitalized for a week because he FORGOT to take his BP meds and how he must be a pansy. He's morbidly obese, but he was full of poo. I should have fired them right then. Not taking a life saving medication for a week doesn't make you a PANSY, it makes you an incompetent IDIOT. I have been hospitalized three times for my BP, my diastolic has been in the 220's. Anyone who would treat a prospective client like this is a garbage person in my opinion. In the end Timmy didn't end up representing me, his co-worker Jamie ended up representing me. I won, but based on records I picked up and submitted. Because of their lack of diligence and their incompetence, I only won my case for two years. I have to go back with a review and present everything they missed and go through this process again in another year with no lawyer since they already took their 6k to do so little for me. In the mean time I will be sending a full complaint to the head of the disability section of the state board of indiana and to the national association of social security representatives. This is a good old boy. If you are LGBTQ, I would not hire this buffoon, he will humiliate you and make you feel like a piece of garbage. On top of it all, they just stopped communicating with me at then end. I never got half my pay out from SSI, it took a full year to get that money back and if I hadn't been ticked at my treatment by this firm, I never would have gotten the rest of my back pay. A full year later and only because I raised a stink. Mr. Burns law firm wouldn't do anything to help me get that money back. In all it was a horrible experience.
