With nearly 30 years of legal experience and a board certification in civil trial law, Attorney Brent Burks is a fierce advocate for injury victims across Tennessee. He handles serious cases involving auto accidents, workers’ compensation, and premises liability, fighting to secure the compensation his clients deserve after life-altering injuries.
Brent has been practicing law in Tennessee since 1994 and joined The McMahan Law Firm in 1997, bringing with him a sharp mind for litigation and a strong belief in client advocacy.
