Burns and Burns serves clients’ best legal interests
T
he attorneys at Burns & Burns, P.C. have served clients in
Milledgeville for a combined total of more than 50 years.
When Milledgeville residents seek legal representation, they need
a law firm they can trust to fight for their best interest. While the two
lawyers at Burns & Burns do trial
work in civil cases, like most law
firms they spend most of their
time trying to defuse problems.
In matters of family, business,
bankruptcy, probate and other
matters, the attorneys at Burns
and Burns have the skills and ex-
perience to help local residents
receive justice in their legal dis-
putes.
“I started my law firm in August
1988 and incorporated in 1994,
and we’ve gone by our current
name since 2011 when my daugh-
ter joined the practice,” says Joel
Burns. “We are a general practice but do not do criminal defense.”
Serving clients across Middle Georgia from their office on North
Jefferson Street, the pair specializes in legal services in matters of
family/estate, business, real estate, probate and bankruptcy law.
After Joel’s daughter, Laura Burns Scott, joined him at the firm,
Burns & Burns, P.C. has been Milled-
geville’s resident father-daughter legal
team. A graduate of the University of
Georgia and the Florida Coastal School
of Law, Laura has had a unique oppor-
tunity to apprentice under her father
and learn the ins and outs of running
her own firm. If and when Joel decides
to retire, the plan is for Laura to take
over the practice, and the young attor-
ney hopes to help her clients however
she can.
“What I enjoy most about this is that
we are helping people who are at their
last resort,” Laura says of her clients.
“They’re really at a crossroads — it’s
nice to help people and see their situa-
tions improve because of it.”
