Minnesota Real Estate Lawyer

Family Law Attorney · Business and Commercial Law

At Patrick Burns and Associates, we know that if you wake up in the morning thinking, "I better call my attorney," it is not because you woke up knowing you were going to have a great day; it is because you're worried about a legal crisis. It is our job to help you develop creative strategies to resolve you legal problems in a cost-effective way. Of course, getting out ahead of the curve in a divorce, real estate deal, or business contract requires understanding the legal implications of the options available to you. Consultative and accessible, our lawyers are committed to helping our clients avoid being placed in a reactive position. Using experts in finance, taxes, real estate, and business, we create solutions intended to leverage your position in both the negotiating room and courtroom.

Regardless of whether you are facing a divorce, closing a real estate deal, or starting a business, we have the experience and resources needed to make a positive difference. To schedule an appointment and discuss your case, contact the law office of Patrick Burns & Associates today.

Helping Individuals, Families, and Businesses

The law office of Patrick Burns & Associates represents clients in regard to the following:

• Real Estate Overview: For residential and commercial real estate closings, transactions, and litigation, consult with our Minnesota real estate lawyer.
• Commercial Landlord Tenant: Whether you are a business renting commercial real estate or a landlord that owns the space, contact our office to discuss your landlord tenant disputes.
• Lien Foreclosure: If you are a lien holder foreclosing on the lien, speak with an attorney with a long record of success representing individuals, companies, and HOA's. We can help maximize your recovery.
• Debtor / Creditor Actions: Our attorneys represent both debtors and creditors in foreclosures, loan defaults, collections, and repossessions.
• Homeowners Association (HOA) Law: Homeowners associations (HOA's) often try self-management; we applaud that. However, we see too many HOA's getting into financial trouble because they do not call for legal help soon enough. Do not let that happen to your organization. Consult with us before it is too late.
• Estate Planning: Some people worry that getting a will costs a lot of money; it does not, and by planning ahead, the money you save may be your own.
• Probate and Estate Administration: We help families settle estates quickly and efficiently.
• Family Law: Family law issues often arise over a variety of personal issues; if your family is falling apart over them, contact us to discuss the situation.
• Divorce: Whether you have not decided yet and just need questions answered or you have been served with divorce papers, gather your financial information and give our family law attorney a call.
• Child Support & Enforcement: Our office represents clients involved in child support and enforcement cases. We represent custodial parents and non-custodial parents in contempt orders involving child support payments in arrears, as well as requests for child support modifications.
• Business law: Whether you need business formation services to help start a business or on-going legal advice about contract law for a going concern, we can help.
• Employment Law: Our lawyers advise and represent employers in regard to employee materials, non-compete agreements, confidentiality agreements, benefit plans, and allegations of harassment or discrimination.
• Criminal and Civil Appeals: If your criminal conviction or civil suit involved improper instructions to the jury, the misapplication of a legal principle, or a violation of due process, our attorneys can prepare and present your appeal.
