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.

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.
