JR Burns Law

At JR Burns Law, we prioritise our clients' needs and aim to support them during challenging times with comprehensive legal services. Led by our principal solicitor, Jessica Burns, who has been immersed in family law since 2012, our firm offers a wealth of knowledge and experience fortified by her Masters Degree from the Queensland University of Technology in 2014. This blend of education and practical expertise ensures that our clients receive exceptional service tailored to their specific circumstances. We are committed to providing practical and insightful guidance, allowing our clients to make informed decisions while minimising financial and emotional costs. Understanding the need for financial clarity during uncertain times, we provide fixed fees for our services, along with payment plans and deferred payment options as needed. Our firm handles a wide range of family law matters, including divorce, property settlements, spousal maintenance, child custody, child support, surrogacy, and handling cases related to domestic and family violence. We also offer comprehensive services in wills and estate planning, covering the preparation of wills, powers of attorney, and advance health directives, with special pricing for retirees and pensioners. In family law, we recognise the emotional turmoil that accompanies the breakdown of relationships. Our aim is to guide our clients compassionately through every stage of the process, whether it involves mediation or court proceedings. We offer support in forming parenting arrangements that prioritise stability for children and reduce parental conflict. If urgent situations arise, particularly concerning child safety, we encourage immediate, confidential discussions to address these concerns effectively. We have extensive experience with property agreements, addressing entitlements and formalising arrangements through court orders or binding financial agreements. Our expertise ensures our clients can confidently secure their future without the risk of further claims. For spousal maintenance, we assist clients in understanding their rights and obligations, providing guidance on urgent court applications if necessary. Our informed approach ensures that clients can navigate these financial responsibilities with clarity and confidence. In matters of divorce, we clarify the distinction between formalising the end of a marriage and settling property matters, offering guidance on navigating both processes seamlessly. At JR Burns Law, we are dedicated to delivering clear, empathetic legal support, empowering our clients to move forward with certainty and assurance.
