About Joshua A.
Joshua A. Burnett is a Massachusetts-licensed attorney who has built a steady practice around consumer bankruptcy and creditor-debtor matters. He studied at the University of Massachusetts Lowell before earning his law degree from the Massachusetts School of Law. Those years set the foundation for a practice grounded in state rules and local court procedure.
His career in private practice began in 2011 as an associate at Kitaeff & Associates, P.C. He spent several years handling client work there before moving to Braucher & Amann, PLLC. At Braucher & Amann he served as Of Counsel beginning in 2017 and later as a senior associate in 2020. That period solidified his courtroom experience and familiarity with the consumer bankruptcy landscape in Massachusetts.
In 2022 he became a partner at Amann Burnett, PLLC. The firm operates out of multiple offices in the state, and Burnett’s role has involved case management, client counseling and handling contested matters in bankruptcy court. He has remained active in bar circles while building the firm’s docket and establishing a presence in regional practice communities.
Alongside his practice, he returned to the Massachusetts School of Law in 2021 as an adjunct professor. His connection to the school is recent but ongoing, and it ties his day-to-day legal work to the classroom. He keeps one foot in practice and one in legal education, which gives him a practical perspective when he teaches.
Burnett maintains memberships in several professional organizations. He belongs to the Massachusetts Bar Association and the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Lawyers. He is also a member of the Essex County Bar Association, the Lawrence Bar Association and the Worcester County Bar Association. Those memberships reflect a practice centered on state and local courts and a professional interest in debtor-creditor law.
In his practice he represents individuals and small entities in bankruptcy filings and related disputes. His work typically involves assessing relief options, preparing petitions and representing clients at hearings. He handles matters across Massachusetts, operating from the Amann Burnett, PLLC offices and appearing regularly in the region’s bankruptcy courts.
He continues to practice in Massachusetts, focusing on consumer bankruptcy and related creditor-debtor issues.
