One of our firm’s core values is social responsibility. The growth and success of our firm is meaningless if we do not use what we have learned to help our community. Starting in Spring 2006, we will be launching a campaign in association with TeachSafe, a non-profit organization, to share our collective knowledge with others in order to prevent injury and encourage safety. As a personal injury firm, we deal with injured people every day and know a lot about the hardships they face.  While not all accidents are preventable, we feel an obligation to do what we can to help people avoid injury in their lives. In addition to our safety campaign, the attorneys and staff in our firm give their time and resources to better the community.

Here are some highlights:

• Burnett & Williams received a Certificate of Appreciation from Loudoun Cares for volunteer services above and beyond to Loudoun Cares and its partners in February 2006.

• Don Culkin received the Harry L. Carrico Pro Bono Award from the Legal Services of Northern Virginia in June 2004. This award recognized Don’s involvement on the Pro Bono Committee at LSNV and his dedication to helping those less fortunate obtain meaningful access to justice.
• In June 2005, the staff of Burnett & Williams participated in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Walk and raised a substantial amount of money for this worthy cause.
• Our entire firm received the award for “2005 Outstanding Corporate Volunteer Team” by the Loudoun Volunteer Services for our track record of volunteer work to better our community.
• In 2004, Peter Burnett was awarded the George C. Marshall Corporate Citizen Award by the Town of Leesburg for his contributions to the town and his efforts to help business prosper in Leesburg.
