About Matthew
Matthew Burkert built a steady legal path that began with an undergraduate degree in criminal justice and moved to a law degree earned in North Carolina. He studied criminal justice at East Carolina University, receiving a B.S. in 2004. He later enrolled in law school at North Carolina Central University in 2009 and earned his J.D. in 2012.
After finishing law school, Burkert entered practice in North Carolina. He joined Constantinou Law Group, P.A. in 2013 and worked there as an attorney. That early stretch of practice gave him day-to-day courtroom and client experience in state-level matters. In 2023 his professional listing shows him at Constantinou & Burkert, PLLC, where he continues to practice.
Burkert’s academic background in criminal justice underpins his approach to cases. He pairs that undergraduate study with three years of formal legal training at North Carolina Central University School of Law. Together those experiences inform how he evaluates evidence, prepares motions and advises clients about procedural steps in state court.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in case preparation and practical in courtroom presentation. He has spent his career working within North Carolina’s legal system, which means he is familiar with local rules and the calendars of the courts where he appears. His practice history reflects sustained work at two firms that operate in the same state jurisdiction where he was educated and trained.
Outside of the office, he maintains professional memberships that keep him connected to peers and developments in the law. That ongoing engagement provides a steady channel for continuing legal education and local networking, both of which feed back into his client work.
Burkert’s career arc is straightforward. Education in criminal justice and law led to immediate entry into practice. Years at Constantinou Law Group gave way to a continued role at Constantinou & Burkert, PLLC. He combines classroom training and courtroom experience in service of clients. He currently represents clients in matters before North Carolina courts at Constantinou & Burkert, PLLC.
