When life gets thrown off track by someone else’s negligence, you don’t need vague promises; you need results, grit, and real legal power on your side. That’s exactly what you get when you choose The Burkett Law Firm, a respected personal injury and legal advocacy team with deep Texas roots, decades of courtroom success, and a client‑focused approach that refuses to treat you like “just another case.”
We’ve Been in the Fight for Over 60 Years
Experience matters especially when you’re up against insurance companies and seasoned defense lawyers who want to minimize what you deserve.
- Three generations serving Corpus Christi and the Coastal Bend with tenacity and integrity.
- David Burkett brings 40+ years of courtroom experience, navigating complex injury cases with seasoned judgment and strategic insight.
- Cumulative firm experience surpasses 250+ years, woven into every investigation, negotiation, and trial strategy.
This isn’t a fly‑by‑night shop; it’s a law firm built on longevity, proven work, and sustained success.
Board‑Certified: The Highest Standard in Personal Injury Law
Many firms say they’re good. The Burkett Law Firm can back it up with certifications few achieve:
- Board‑Certified Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, the highest recognition for personal injury attorneys in the state.
- Board‑Certified Civil Trial Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy is a mark of elite trial advocacy and legal skill.
Board certification isn’t a sticker; it’s proof of advanced knowledge, trial success, and respected performance in courtrooms across Texas.
We Take Every Case Personally
You’ll hear lawyers say “every client matters.” At Burkett, they actually make it true.
- Small enough to care, big enough to win. Unlike national “megafirms,” they don’t churn cases in and out.
- No revolving door of attorneys or staff. You work with familiar faces who know your story, your goals, and your stakes.
- Medical investigators, specialists, and case managers, not just an attorney, are dedicated to building evidence and strengthening your claim.
Your case isn’t a number. It’s your life, livelihood, and future and they act like it every step of the way.
You Pay Nothing Unless We Win
The financial burden of injury, medical bills, lost work, pain and suffering, is stressful enough without legal fees upfront.
Here’s how Burkett levels the playing field:
- Zero court costs, attorney fees, or litigation expenses unless you recover.
- If they don’t win, you don’t pay period.
This contingency fee structure aligns their success with yours. They win when you win.
We’ve Secured Millions for Real People
Talk is cheap; results prove it.
The firm has recovered over $50 million for injury victims in Texas.
Some recent outcomes include:
- $6,000,000 — Parking lot pedestrian accident.
- $5,000,000 — Trucking accident wrongful death.
- $4,000,000 — Cell tower accident.
