Attorney Dwayne Burrell grew up in New Orleans, LA, where he learned early in life the importance
and value an attorney brings to their clients. He also understands that powerful companies tend to be
too much for those individuals who are vulnerable after tragedy strikes. Burrell strives to
provide that much needed assistance and professional advocacy to each of his clients. As a law student, Dwayne was a member of the Trial Advocacy Executive Board, where he served
as Vice-President of Media and Outreach. Dwayne also served as Vice President for the Public
Interest Law Society (PILS), where he founded the PILS Unity Basketball Classic, a law school
bonding and fundraising effort. Dwayne was a clerk for the East Baton Rouge Public Defender's Office, Capital Post Conviction Project of Louisiana, and the Law Center's Immigration Clinic, where he fought for people in desperate need of representation. Through those clerkships, valuable experience was gained. Dwayne was also an apprentice of "The Selection and Persuasion of Your Jury", an apprenticeship under one of Louisiana's best litigators. Through these experiences, he developed the knowledge and skills necessary to fight for his clients. Dwayne also participated in multiple internal competitions in Trial Advocacy. Dwayne received his Juris Doctorate and Graduate Diploma in Civil Law from the Paul M. Hebert Law Center at Louisiana State University in 2014. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from the University of New Orleans, with a minor in Business Management. He's a member of the Louisiana State Bar Association.
