Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

The Law Office of Neil Burns offers personal representation to victims of car accidents, personal injury, child injury, wrongful death, legal malpractice, and personal bankruptcy. Our job is to secure the best results for our clients. Our practice includes representing victims in the District Courts, Superior Courts, the Appeals Court, Probate Courts Federal Bankruptcy Court and the Federal District Court.

Many of our clients are victims of personal injuries. They and their families need clear and concise counsel to help them with the legal aspects of their claims. The insurance companies are stacked with procedures, formulas and methods that an experienced attorney can help navigate. We caringly guide our clients; we work effectively with the insurance companies; we communicate with our clients from day one until the day the case is resolved. The process is effective because we have the experience. We aim to be their lawyer thereafter as well; we offer a personal injury blog to keep our clients informed of the law.

We have also represented many families who have suffered the loss of a loved one. Wrongful death, cases are especially difficult for the family. Often another family member has suffered personal injuries from the same catastrophe, whether it was a motor vehicle collision, a house fire, or a result of negligently maintained premises. Our services include filing the probate of the estate and negotiating settlement or trial.

Practice Areas Description

The Law Office of Neil Burns offers legal representation and services in the following areas of practice:

- Legal Malpractice

In general, attorney malpractice occurs when an attorney breaches his or her duty to a client to perform legal services according to the minimum standard of professional care imposed by law, resulting in damage to the client. Most cases involving legal malpractice in Massachusetts result in a settlement with a "confidentiality agreement." This is a contract between our client and the prior attorney (and his or her insurance company) which forbids the client from discussing the settlement. Wherefore, for the following representative cases in which no lawsuit was filed, we have changed names, towns, and genders so that our clients are not in violation of the confidentiality agreements. We have not changed dates.

- Personal Injury

The Law Office of Neil Burns represents victims of the following: Injuries to Children; Motor Vehicle Accidents; Truck Accidents; Pedestrian Accidents; Motorcycle Accidents; Underinsurance - Motor Vehicle Accidents; Uninsured - Motor Vehicle Accidents; Bicycle Accidents; Construction Accidents; Dog Bite Cases; Burn Injuries; Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries; Premises Liability; Slip and Fall Accidents. At The Law Office of Neil Burns, we’ve handled thousands of personal injury cases since 1985, and have had a great deal of success for our clients. If you’ve been injured, you’ve got enough to deal with. Focus on healing – not on wrangling with insurance companies and their lawyers. We’ll do the fighting for you. Feel confident that we will always behave ethically and professionally. Feel just as confident that we will fight for your rights intelligently and aggressively.

- Personal Bankruptcy

A personal, no asset, bankruptcy is known as Chapter 7. For this type of bankruptcy, our clients keep all of the assets they want to keep (home if it qualifies, motor vehicle, personal property, clothing, etc.) and discharge all their consumer debts. We will work with you to determine that all of your assets are kept protected from the creditors. We work with the client to determine if they qualify. Once the client hires us, and supply us with the documents we need, we prepare all of the paperwork to complete the Chapter 7 Petition and Schedules. We forward them to the client for review and signature. When finalized, we file with the Bankruptcy Court electronically. Thirty days later there is a hearing before a Chapter 7 Trustee. This is called the Creditor Meeting or 341 Hearing.

- Wrongful Death

Our firm has been helping families recover monies in wrongful death cases for over 25 years. Losing a family member can be catastrophic for a family. In addition to the devastating emotional loss, there is also financial loss after a death. We work to hold the responsible party, and their insurance company, legally responsible for negligence in death cases throughout Massachusetts. I represent my clients aggressively and effectively. Of course, money cannot replace the love, companionship and society after a loved one dies. However, it can help replace income. Our clients often express feelings of anger and confusion. They often face becoming a witness a criminal prosecution against the person responsible for the death, especially if the death is associated with a motor vehicle accident involving negligent driving or alcohol.
