Key Takeaways:
- Dayson Shalabi Burkett Law Firm, LLC, was founded on shared values, including hard work, personal accountability, and a commitment to achieving the best possible results for clients.
- The firm prioritizes quality over quantity, ensuring each client receives dedicated, hands-on representation from an attorney who manages the case from start to finish.
- With backgrounds in prosecution, insurance defense, and plaintiff representation, the attorneys bring diverse legal experience that strengthens case strategy and negotiation.
Why Did We Want to Partner Up With Each Other?
We basically had the same goals and felt the same way about how to go about achieving them. Our goal was simple: to build a law firm that delivers the best possible outcomes for our clients. That’s easy to say, and almost every law firm will also say that’s their goal.
What Separates Us From Other Law Firms?
What separates us is our agreement on how to achieve that: giving 100% effort and dedication to every client, which means we’re never taking on more than we can handle.
If we take on a case, you will get either one of us to handle it from start to finish. We don’t thrive on quantity and getting as many clients as possible. We thrive on quality and providing dedicated representation to you. In other words, we will never be too busy for you.
From a personal standpoint, we have similar backgrounds. We grew up in middle-class households and worked our entire lives for everything we have. We started working when we were teenagers and haven’t stopped since. We even worked while we were in law school.
Our work ethic carries over to our legal careers. We took pride in getting into the office early and leaving late. Dayson Shalabi Burkett Law Firm, LLC, becomes personally invested in your cases.
Taking those things into account, we knew our clients would be better served by us working together. It was a no-brainer. So far, our results have proven that.
How Do We Work Together to Help Our Clients?
You never want too many cooks in the kitchen. Quality is more important than quantity. That said, it’s always great to have partners who share the same ideals but can also contribute in different ways.
How Our Backgrounds Strengthen Your Case
We started as prosecutors out of law school. While there, we gained trial experience while representing the state of South Carolina. We worked and practiced law at the courthouse every day. After getting great trial experience, we went our different ways.
Ramie went on to start representing insurance companies. Curtis jumped straight into representing individuals. Since then, Ramie left the insurance defense law firm to start representing people.
We’ve also welcomed aboard another like-minded attorney with a stellar legal history and a shared passion for helping people: Michael Burkett. Then, we became Dayson Shalabi Burkett Law Firm, LLC.
We use our diverse experiences to collaborate on our clients’ cases. We have also built networks in two of the largest regions in South Carolina:
- Columbia and the surrounding midlands area
- Summerville/Charleston and the Lowcountry
Being in Two Different Cities, How Do You Work Together?
First off, we talk to each other every day, multiple times a day, about our clients’ cases. Technology is great, and we use it every day. We can access our files from anywhere in the world. Also, we travel to both of our locations to meet clients.
How Does This Situation Benefit Clients?
It allows us to have better access to clients and clients to have access to us. Having offices in Columbia and Summerville allows us to represent people not only in those two cities but also in Aiken, Rock Hill, Sumter, Florence, Goose Creek, Charleston, Lake City, Moncks Corner, Kingstree, and other areas.
As mentioned earlier, having offices in two cities expands our network, helping us better represent our clients.
