A True Expert in Insurance Law and Litigation

When my insurer wrongfully denied a significant claim related to a commercial property loss, I was referred to Tim Burns. From our first meeting, his deep understanding of Wisconsin insurance law was evident. He didn't just take my case; he meticulously explained the nuances of the policy language and the legal precedents that would apply, drawing on his 18 years of focused experience. The fact that he's been recognized as a 'Lawyer of the Year' in this field wasn't just a line on a profile—it translated directly into his strategic approach. Tim and his team at Burns Bair handled the complex litigation with a calm, assured professionalism that kept me informed and confident throughout a stressful process. He anticipated the defense's arguments and was exceptionally prepared at every stage. The result was a settlement that far exceeded my initial expectations and fully covered the business interruption losses we had sustained. I am profoundly grateful for his expertise and tenacity. For anyone in Wisconsin facing a difficult insurance dispute, especially one requiring litigation, Timothy W. Burns is the attorney you want in your corner.
