Andrea L. Burns

Andrea L. Burns is a workers’ compensation and social security disability attorney at The Harris Firm. The legal field is not a new interest for her; she became interested in law after taking law studies courses in high school. During college, Andrea joined the Phi Alpha Delta pre-law fraternity and her love for legal matters heightened, all before she even entered law school.Outside of the office, Andrea enjoys traveling. When she is home she is working with hands-on projects. She loves spending time with her family and her long-time significant other, and their two French bulldogs. Andrea cheers on the local Redlegs and loves to spend a day at Great American Ballpark. When mealtime comes, Andrea prefers to cook meals in her home (grilling in the backyard if the weather permits!), but every once in a while she enjoys exploring Cincinnati’s local pizzerias. To relax, she reads a multitude of book genres or settles down to watch one of her favorite shows or movies; she is a huge fan of HBO Game of Thrones, the Star Wars movies, and the Lord of the Rings movies.

Andrea loves everything about being an attorney, but her favorite aspect is the fact that she feels as if she is helping people. She prides herself on building meaningful relationships with every single client that she works with. Within The Harris Firm, she is most drawn to the hearing process. It allows her to work with the workers’ compensation community as well as their clients. She enjoys the day-to-day preparation for hearings because it keeps her sharp.

Andrea L. Burns values the teamwork between the attorneys at The Harris Firm. The team-centric atmosphere allows them to share ideas and help one another. By working with Jeff Harris, Danielle Harris, and the rest of the team, Andrea feels as if they can all learn from one another on a daily basis and assure that they are getting the best results possible for each and every one of their clients.

Since 2014, Andrea has been a part of the winning group for “Best Attorneys in Ohio”. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from Ohio University in 1994 and went to Ohio Northern University to work toward her J.D., which she obtained in 1997. She is now admitted to practice in the state of Ohio and the Southern District of Ohio. In 1997, Andrea won the CALI Excellence for Future Award/Descendants’’ Estates & Trusts.
