Dan Burns earned his Juris Doctor, magna cum laude, from Florida A&M University College of Law in 2008. He was admitted to the Florida Bar in 2009. Prior to his legal education, Dan served four years in the United States Army. When his military term of service ended, Dan served as a law enforcement officer, where he frequently utilized his training to deescalate contentious situations. Upon admission to the bar, he commenced his legal career as an assistant state attorney, negotiating plea agreements and, when necessary, presenting cases at trial.
After his tenure with the state attorney’s office, Mr. Burns dedicated his practice primarily to family law, managing matters involving dissolution of marriage, child custody (time-sharing), child and spousal support, equitable distribution of assets and liabilities, modifications, contempt, paternity, and adoptions. He holds certification from the Florida Supreme Court as a Family Law Mediator.
With comprehensive knowledge of Florida family law, Mr. Burns is committed to promoting amicable resolutions and minimizing conflict, even amidst the most challenging circumstances. He firmly believes that parties themselves, rather than a third person, should determine their own futures.
