“When people think of Burnette Shutt & McDaniel, they think first of our work in employment law and civil rights,” firm co-founder Malissa Burnette said. “Certainly those areas are very important in our core mission of fighting for clients when they need help the most. But there are so many other ways we can help, from Nekki’s fine work in employee benefits and ERISA to the litigation skills for which so many of our attorneys are consistently recognized.”
