About Stephen J
Stephen J Burg earned his law degree from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law in 2007 after completing undergraduate studies at the University of Wyoming in 2004. He moved from the classroom into practice at a time when the legal landscape in the Mountain West was changing rapidly. The sequence of his education reflects a steady progression toward courtroom work and professional involvement.
Early in his career Burg joined the ranks of lawyers practicing in the region and has since been admitted to practice in both Arizona and Colorado. Over the years he has taken on roles that place him at the center of litigation work. Those credentials allowed him to take on leadership responsibilities at his firm and within professional organizations.
He is a shareholder at Burg Simpson Eldredge Hersh & Jardine, PC. As a shareholder he participates in firm governance and client representation. His position signals a senior role among colleagues and involvement in managing complex matters handled by the firm.
Burg has invested time in professional associations that are commonly aligned with trial practice. He is a member of The National Trial Lawyers, the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association and the American Association for Justice. He also belongs to the American Bar Association and the Colorado Judicial Institute. He co-founded the Colorado Judicial Institute Young Professionals, an effort that brought younger attorneys into conversations about the judiciary and legal policy.
Peers and clients encounter him through courtrooms, bar events and the professional groups he supports. He has remained active in groups that foster trial advocacy and judicial education. That activity helps him stay current on procedural developments, courtroom trends and state-level policy discussions affecting litigation.
Outside of association work Burg’s professional life is rooted in the firms and courts of Colorado and Arizona. He builds cases, works with other attorneys and appears in hearings and trials when matters require it. The record of steady membership in trial and bar organizations points to a practice shaped by litigation and courtroom participation.
He maintains a practice that spans the two states where he is admitted. He has continued to take on work consistent with the responsibilities of a shareholder at a multi-attorney law firm. He practices trial litigation in Arizona and Colorado.
