Experienced Attorneys. Direct Relationships.

The attorney you work with matters. At Burns & Hansen, you will work with attorneys who take the time to understand what is happening, answer your questions clearly, and help you determine the right path forward. Our team includes attorneys with experience in litigation, appeals, business law, real estate, construction, family law, estate planning, probate, landlord-tenant matters, and related areas that often overlap. That breadth of experience means you're not limited to one perspective when a legal issue touches more than one part of your life, business, or property.

That range of experience matters because legal issues do not always stay in one lane. A business dispute may involve real estate. A family law matter may involve business ownership. A property issue may lead to litigation. When a matter calls for more than one perspective, our attorneys can work together to help you see the full picture.

Good legal representation isn't just about knowing the law. It's about knowing which questions to ask, which issues deserve immediate attention, and which ones are likely to matter six months from now.

Finding the Right Attorney for Your Matter

You do not need to know exactly which attorney to call before contacting Burns & Hansen.

If you already know who you want to work with, you can contact that attorney directly. If you are not sure, we can help connect you with the person whose experience best fits the issue in front of you.

Choosing the right attorney isn't just about finding someone who practices in a particular area of law. It's about finding someone who has handled situations like yours and understands the multifaceted questions that come with them.

Legal matters vary in complexity. While some are resolved quickly, others involve multiple parties, extensive records, or issues that ultimately need to be decided in court. Either way, you will have access to attorneys who understand the work and communicate clearly.

Experience also brings perspective. Attorneys who've handled similar matters before can often identify potential issues and complications long before they become the focus of a dispute.

A Team with Depth

Burns & Hansen has grown by bringing together attorneys with different strengths, perspectives, and areas of focus. That depth allows us to serve individuals, families, business owners, property owners, developers, and organizations across a wide range of legal needs.

It also gives our attorneys the ability to draw on one another when a matter crosses practice areas. A business dispute may involve real estate. A family law matter may raise questions about business ownership or property. A development project may involve contracts, construction, financing, and litigation. When another attorney's perspective can strengthen the work, we collaborate across the firm rather than treating each issue in isolation.

That broader team approach does not come at the expense of the direct attorney relationships that define Burns & Hansen. You are not passed through layers of people who do not know your matter. You work with attorneys who understand your situation, stay personally involved, and can bring in the right colleagues when your needs call for it.
