She is an award-winning lawyer and marketer who helps law firms of all sizes obtain new clients and increase their brand footprints through effective marketing strategies. As the head of the team at Stacey E. Burke, P.C., Stacey develops innovative marketing strategies to help clients take hold of their market share in competitive locations.
Stacey founded Stacey E. Burke, P.C. in 2010, and began offering full-service marketing solutions in 2013. Stacey’s marketing agency serves only the legal industry and focuses on the unique challenges lawyers face with regard to developing new business. She has assembled a dedicated team of marketing professionals to address the needs of her law firm clients. Her marketing team has grown every single year since she began working as a consultant full time.
As the Master Strategist at Stacey E. Burke, P.C., Stacey is the driving force behind all strategic choices and the final editor of every piece of content that goes out of the door. She works with her team to utilize her own unparalleled legal marketing knowledge in developing actionable marketing plans and producing custom solutions for each law firm.
Stacey’s success both as a lawyer and a marketer came from watching her father work seven days a week to turn a small to medium sized family business into an international distribution powerhouse. She now applies what she’s learned from her father and her own professional experience to her work for law firms around the country.
Stacey graduated college early with a Bachelor of Journalism in Public Relations from The University of Texas at Austin and was accepted early decision to law school at The University of Houston Law Center. Once she graduated law school, Stacey focused her practice on personal injury, maritime, and products liability litigation. While still working as a lawyer, Stacey began to take on more marketing and business development responsibilities for her law firm employers. Over the last few years of her law firm work, Stacey became invaluable to the firm for her marketing and business development expertise. She wanted to use her skill set to help other law firms succeed, and launched Stacey E. Burke, P.C. to implement her creative approaches to legal marketing for firms across the country.
Outside of work, Stacey is a proud mom to two daughters who both attend The Kinkaid School in Houston, Texas and two adorable, if not sometimes naughty, French Bulldogs named Ruby and Cosmo Kramer. Her husband works in the legal industry as a Division Chief in the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.
