About Megan Burns

For many people, trying to find a lawyer means that something has gone very wrong in their lives. They may have been arrested for rape, injured in an accident, investigated for child neglect, charged with drug possession or received an OUI. If something like this happened to you, the last thing you want is an attorney who doesn’t listen and doesn’t respect your opinions. You need a different kind of lawyer.

Meet Megan Burns: A Different Kind of Lawyer

Fall River attorney Megan Burns is that different kind of lawyer. She focuses on the needs of her clients. This means that she gives them information they can use to make decisions about their cases. She explains the consequences of the situation, whether it’s a drug charge that could land them in prison, or an OUI that could result in the loss of their driver’s license and the ability to get to work or school. She gives them the details of the legal process they will face, such as filing deadlines, trial timetables, legal costs & court-ordered fines, and whether you might face jail or prison time. She guides them through the paperwork and the court procedures. She answers all their questions as fully as she can.

Taking the Difficult Cases

Defending
Clients

Attorney Burns focuses on defending clients charged with sexual assault and other sex crimes. She practices in this area without judgment and works hard to get the best possible outcome for people who find themselves in a challenging situation. People facing sexual assault charges may have had trouble finding an attorney who will take their case, as some criminal defense lawyers do not handle them. Attorney Burns fills this gap.

Department of
Children and Families

Another focus is matters involving the Department of Children and Families (DCF), an area that many lawyers won’t undertake because they don’t have the necessary knowledge or experience. Megan Burns was a lawyer at DCF for five years and thoroughly understands the inner workings of the department. Whatever the type of case, she is always ready to go to trial, and has handled more than 70 jury trials and many bench trials in the last 10 years.
