Burke has successfully resolved hundreds of cases on behalf of clients injured in car, motorcycle, bus, and tractor-trailer collisions, as well as pedestrians and bicyclists harmed by others on the roadway.

Burke has earned an AV Preeminent 5.0 Martindale-Hubbell ranking, which is the highest ranking possible. He has been selected as a Super Lawyers Mid-South Rising Star every year since 2014 and recognized as one of the “Top 40 Under 40” lawyers in Tennessee by The National Trial Lawyers Association.

During law school in Knoxville he had an invaluable clerkship working for an outstanding trial lawyer named Bob Pryor, Sr., who cemented Burke's desire to practice personal injury law.
