About Constantinou & Burkert Accident Injury Lawyers

Hi, I’m Matthew Burkert. Welcome to my website! A little about me: I was raised in Durham, North Carolina, where I went to Parkwood Elementary School. I then attended Lowes Grove Middle School. Then I went to Jordan High School here in Durham.

After I graduated high school, I went to college at East Carolina University in Greenvile, NC, where I studied criminal justice. I also received my minor in Psychology. You should try B’s BBQ if you visit Greenville! They have great BBQ. I then attended North Carolina Central University School of Law, where I received my Juris Doctor in 2012. I then took the North Carolina Bar Exam in 2013 and received my license to practice law on March 29, 2013.

I joined the Constantinou Law Group, PA, starting as a law clerk when I was in law school in 2010. After I graduated, I became an associate attorney in 2013. After working as an associate attorney for 10 years, I was able to purchase the company and the name was changed to Constantinou & Burkert Accident Injury Lawyers in April 2023, where I now serve as the managing partner. This step not only marks my professional growth but also underscores my commitment to serving the community I call home.

While not practicing law, I usually spend time with my wife, Daisy, and two kids, Meelo and Della. I enjoy the outdoors, eating, or watching sports, including the Durham Bulls, ECU Pirates, and Duke Blue Devils. I also remain an active member of my community by supporting local groups with my time and donations.

Everything started off great with Matt, unfortunately it seems like I was ghosted by Matt. I don’t get my calls answered anymore and I don’t get called back. Same thing with emails, they go unanswered.Update: Matt was able to assist us with our claim and we are satisfied in the end. As a business owner myself I understand now that he was swamped with work but he got around to representing us. I have referred Matt to others as well. God forbid I need another personal claims lawyer from another accident but incase of another accident I will call him first. Thanks Matt!

Unfortunately dealing with an absolute mess with my health insurance after Matt Burkert overpaid a subrogation claim for health insurance claims that were not related to my car accident at all.I have emailed and called with no response from Matt, and have spent hours with health insurance trying to get my money back. Matt's communication was spotty during the process of working through my personal injury claim, but when he didn't respond to my 3rd email, this time asking for a response within 24 hours or I would submit a claim to the NC Bar, I knew he was just ignoring me.I was happy to get a settlement after the accident, but dealing with this issues has added so much unnecessary stress. It would have been easily avoided if Matt 1. had me review before paying subrogation and/or 2. reviewed the medial records he had from the accident.There is not one part of me that wants to make a bad review but unfortunately Matt has absolutely ghosted me after making an error, and I think his future clients should know.
