Introduction
Two South Carolina offices give BurnetteLaw, LLC reach across both North and South Carolina, a cross-border practice footprint that reflects attorneys Charlie and Baxter Burnette’s decision to serve clients throughout the Carolinas rather than limiting their geographic scope. The firm operates from 414 E. Main Street in Rock Hill, SC, and a second location at 4381 Charlotte Highway, Suite 103, in Lake Wylie, SC, with the primary contact number 803-328-1800.
The combination of personal injury, workers compensation, construction law, civil litigation, contract disputes, business litigation, and mechanics lien work under one roof reflects a practice built around the legal needs of individuals, workers, and businesses in the Carolinas.
Practice Areas
Personal injury law at BurnetteLaw covers the cases that arise when someone is harmed through another party’s negligence. South Carolina personal injury law allows injured plaintiffs to recover for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from the defendant’s negligent conduct. The firm represents clients whose injuries arose from automobile accidents, premises conditions, and other negligent acts.
Workers compensation law serves employees injured on the job in South Carolina and North Carolina. Workers compensation is a no-fault system that provides medical benefits and wage replacement when a workplace injury occurs. Navigating workers compensation claims successfully requires understanding the reporting requirements, the medical treatment authorization process, and the dispute resolution procedures that apply when claims are denied or benefits are disputed. BurnetteLaw represents injured workers through this process.
Construction law addresses the complex web of legal relationships involved in construction projects: between property owners and general contractors, between general contractors and subcontractors, between contractors and material suppliers, and between all parties when construction defects, delays, or payment disputes arise. The Carolinas construction sector generates a consistent volume of these disputes, and the firm handles them for clients on all sides.
Civil litigation is the general category encompassing disputes that require resolution through the court system. BurnetteLaw handles civil litigation across the Carolinas court systems, representing clients whose disputes have not resolved through negotiation and require formal legal proceedings.
Contract disputes arise when parties to an agreement disagree about its terms, whether its obligations were met, or what remedies apply when one party has not performed. The firm handles contract disputes across the Carolinas, representing clients seeking enforcement of contracts or defending against claims of breach.
Business litigation covers the legal disputes that business relationships generate: partnership disputes, shareholder conflicts, disputes with customers or vendors, and other commercial disagreements that require legal resolution.
Mechanics lien claims are a specific but important tool for contractors, subcontractors, and material suppliers who have not been paid for work performed or materials supplied to a construction project. Both North and South Carolina provide lien rights to these parties, and the firm handles mechanics lien filing, enforcement, and defense in both states.
