He has been named a Southern California Rising Star by Super Lawyers for seven consecutive years.

Burnett serves as a Director on the Board of Minnesota Women Lawyers and as a Director for H2O for Life, a service-learning organization that empowers youth to take action to combat the global water crisis.
