Chris Burks

Chris developed strong beliefs about never giving up from his family and life experiences.  Chris has worked in inner cities and rural towns and has been everywhere from big city boardrooms to factory floors. He knows that at the end of the day all people and companies want the same thing—a fair shot and for someone to fight for them.

Even though Chris has primarily worked on federal employment law cases for many years, he maintains a few select state court cases to keep his litigation skills sharp.

Chris gained experience through working as a lawyer for two judges (Honorable Susan Hickey of the United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas and the Honorable Rhonda Wood of the Arkansas State Circuit Court, Twentieth Judicial District).

By working hard and not giving up, Chris has been instrumental in bringing several important and seemingly hard-to-win cases that have shaped employment law and made a real difference.
