About

D. Michael Burke is a Martinsburg trial legal professional with over 37 years of experience in representing people in opposition to corporations and coverage agencies.

I am a Martinsburg trial lawyer and the founding associate of Burke, Schultz, Harman & Jenkinson. As a collection, we had been serving human beings injured due to the negligence of others inside the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia for almost a hundred and twenty years blended, making the ones accountable for injuring others take delivery of that responsibility. We constitute the ones harm and the households of humans killed in all varieties of car collisions, trucking injuries, and motorbike wrecks, in addition to different instances resulting in wrongful death and damage, including medical malpractice, and canine bites, forcing those at fault--and their insurance groups--to pay.

A native West Virginian, I attended West Virginia University and changed into provided a Bachelor of Arts diploma in Biology in 1976, and acquired my regulation degree (J.D.) in 1979. While at WVU, I changed into elected Vice-President of the Student Body (1975-seventy six) and in regulation college was a member of Phi Delta Phi felony fraternity. I even have spent my prison profession representing people towards companies and insurance groups, ensuring that those accountable for causing accidents and deaths take delivery of that responsibility and pay what's truthful to those who have been injured.

In my 37 years of practice, I have tried dozens of cases to verdict, and have recovered tens of millions of greenbacks for my customers. In addition, I had been concerned in over 30 appellate cases, arguing cases earlier than the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals over 50 instances, resulting in 22 published reviews.
