"He was a good, old-fashioned father."

He is certified by The Florida Bar in Workers' Compensation. Why is this important? Because certification is the highest level of recognition by The Florida Bar concerning the competency of attorneys in this special area of law. It means that The Florida Bar recognizes that Pete Burkert has special knowledge, skills and proficiency in handling job related accidents. Does this make him special? Yes, because most Southwest Florida personal injury law firms, even the biggest, don't have anyone certified in Workers' Compensation.
