My law practice began as a clerk for the South Carolina Circuit Court. I worked for Judge James C. "Jimmy" Williams for a year before transitioning to private practice. My first three years of private practice focused on Criminal Defense, particularly DUI Defense.
As time progressed my Family Law Practice conitnued to grow and consumed more of my time. The joy I find in helping my clients with their domestic issues meant that those same clients reffered more and more friends and family members to me and my firm. As a result, I only handle DUI or criminal defense case for prior clients or refferals. My true love and passion is in our state's family courts.
There is little else more important than our families and our children. The toll a separation and divorce can take on an individual's emotional, physical and spiritual health demands that they can trust, respect and bond with their lawyer. I work hard to establish that connection with each person I represent and will conitnue to do it so long as I practice law.

He kept the pressure and attention on this case, and was in constant contact with me. He led and guided my actions, offered suggestions, and stayed clos...

Brian Gregory Burke
I retained Mr. Burke after a potential career ending mishap. I was immediately relieved after consulting with him that I had made the right choice concerning who was representing me.

I had recently hired Brian for a family court matter and couldn't have been more pleased as a client.

Most importantly though, he gave me realistic expectations of potential outcomes and w...

Great Attorney
I thought I would never need an attorney and the process of finding the right one for my family and I was very stressful.
