"Unprofessional and Abusive Conduct by Burnett Attorneys – Beware!"

I had a distressing experience with Burnett Attorneys (Burnett Law). From the start, the attorney arrived late for our initial consultation. I was asked to fill in what was presented as a simple client information form, only to later realize that hidden behind the form were terms and conditions attempting to bind me to an agreement I had never properly reviewed or consented to.

A day after, I immediately sent an email instructing them not to proceed with any work. Despite this clear instruction, Burnett Attorneys continued and even claimed to have drafted a settlement agreement. This was clearly a template because they had no information about my children nor my businesses showing clear disregard for the facts of my case. They keep spelling my name incorrectly!

To make matters worse, they then began sending me statements for services I never authorized. This harassment escalated with the issuance of a Section 129 legal notice — threatening me legally for an account I had never agreed to. Despite raising my objections in writing and explaining there was no signed mandate, Burnett Attorneys ignored my concerns and persisted with their aggressive and ********* conduct. And charging me for emails and sms's!

Their behavior has been unprofessional, abusive, and in clear violation of basic client trust and legal ethics. I have been forced to escalate this to the Legal Practice Council to seek accountability.
