By far the best law firm in Cherokee county, hands-down. Michael Burns and his staff are exceptional at what they do. They treat you like family and go above and beyond. They will do whatever is necessary to get you the best results for your case. I would recommend them to anyone seeking an attorney with their skill set. If you are reading this review, you can stop searching for an attorney because you have found the right one. - David B
