Whether it means making the case go away before charges are ever filed, or getting a dismissal before trial, or getting an excellent plea deal, or getting an acquittal at trial, or getting a remarkable sentence -- Mr. Burney goes the extra mile to get his clients the best outcome he can.
 

Listed below are some recent victories in a variety of cases.  (Of course past performance is no guarantee of future results.  Every case is different.)
