Burns, who was admitted to the Florida Bar in 1973 and subsequently built a successful career that has spanned decades, reflected on his years as a prominent trial attorney \u2013 but not without a little humility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cReally, perhaps the reason I\u2019ve been asked to be here is that I\u2019ve been around a long time,\u201d Burns, who is now partner at Tampa-based firm Johnson Pope Bokor Ruppel &amp; Burns, said. \u201cAnd it pains me to say that, but this is my 50<sup>th<\/sup> year practicing law.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knowing he\u2019d be speaking to a room full of law students in Stetson Law\u2019s Great Hall that afternoon, he decided his topic would cover the attributes and practices that helped him grow as a lawyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A big factor, he said, was regularly stopping to look down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI have always during my career thought a bit about what\u2019s next,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I think regularly about what\u2019s next year, and what\u2019s in five years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The importance of setting goals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hired out fresh out of law school, Burns said he had a rather lucrative starting salary \u2013 for the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey offered me $12,000 a year,\u201d he said, as the audience chuckled. \u201cAnd that was big money.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He then set a goal to make $30,000 by age 30. As a civil trial lawyer who got his start defending clients in complex commercial matters, he achieved that. He said law students are uniquely equipped to accomplish whatever they set their minds to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYour legal education here is a great foundation for whatever you decide to do,\u201d Burns said. \u201cYou\u2019re a group of people that sets goals. You wouldn\u2019t be here if you hadn\u2019t set goals already, and you wouldn\u2019t be here if you if you weren\u2019t willing to have some delayed gratification.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet one should also be open to the opportunities that come along with life\u2019s twists and turns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith any plan you make, leave room for serendipity, fate, and unexpected things to come into play,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Following one\u2019s conscience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though he started out defending companies against accusations of fraud and other legal matters, Burns said he ultimately realized he wanted to use his skills and talents to help those being defrauded and otherwise taken advantage of by large companies with seemingly infinite means. So he set the goal of moving into representing plaintiffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt was a conscious decision to move in that direction,\u201d Burns said. \u201cIf you want to spread your wings and you\u2019ve been the best widget lawyer in the world and you think you might want to get into something else, make a plan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, he primarily represents litigants in cases involving consumer fraud, financial malpractice, and securities, among other matters. Over the years, he has helped clients win record-setting awards as well as settlements totaling well into nine figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Burns is also a cofounder of Crypto Lawyers, which helps clients recover lost investments in cryptocurrency and has amassed a long history of representing clients pro bono in cases involving discrimination over race, gender, and sexual orientation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Telling your story<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fielding questions from students in the audience, Burns turned from the philosophical to the practical at times. Asked what made him excel at persuading jurors to favor his clients, he said the most effective tool he has is storytelling. \u201cNumber one is develop a theme,\u201d Burns said. \u201cI\u2019d lay out a theme\u2026 and I would try to work that consistently into the case. If it\u2019s a theme I think I can sell, I want to ride that as far as I can.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If there\u2019s anything that can keep one\u2019s legal career on a meaningful, decades-long trajectory, said trial lawyer Guy Burns, it\u2019s the ability to set concrete goals \u2013 but only if you leave a little room for serendipity.
