LACI BURKES
ATTORNEY

Biography Overview
Laci has been with Paul Knopf Bigger since 2018, and joined the firm as an attorney in 2020. She obtained her Bachelor’s Degree and a Certification in Teaching English as a Second Language from the Mississippi University for Women in 2009. After working in real estate transaction management for several years, she decided to change careers and pursue her passion by going to law school. Laci worked full-time during the day while attending law school at night, and she brings that same hard work and dedication to her cases now.
Laci graduated from the Barry University School of Law Magna Cum Laude in the top 10% of her class. During her time in law school, she also worked for two years on the Environmental and Earth Law Journal, first as an Associate Editor and then on the board as the Notes and Comments Editor. While in law school, Laci also worked with the VITA program, providing free tax services to low income members of the community.
For Laci, helping clients who have been injured or lost a loved one is not work – it is an honor. During her free time, she enjoys volunteering at a local pug rescue and spending time with her husband and daughter.
