About Todd W.
Todd W. Burris is a Kentucky attorney who has run his own practice since 2007. He trained at the University of Kentucky College of Law, earning his J.D. in 2006. His path into private practice came quickly after law school.
After completing his legal studies, Burris launched the Law Office of Todd W. Burris in 2007. He established a solo practice and has maintained it since. The firm operates as a small office where he handles matters that arise in both state and federal settings. He has experience taking individual cases from initial filing through litigation and, when appropriate, appellate work.
Burris is admitted to practice in Kentucky and before the Federal Circuit. That combination means he handles a mix of trial-level matters in Kentucky courts and filings that reach federal appellate review. His practice routinely involves court appearances, drafting pleadings and briefs, and advising clients on procedural steps required in both state and federal systems.
Colleagues describe him as pragmatic in the courtroom and methodical in case preparation. He balances the immediate demands of litigation with attention to appellate implications when a matter could move beyond the trial court. Over time he has developed familiarity with the procedural differences that govern state and federal practice, and he applies that practical knowledge to case strategy.
Burris maintains memberships in professional bar organizations and participates in activities that keep him current on changes in procedure and case law. He has worked primarily through his own office rather than within larger firms. That setting allows him to handle each stage of a case personally, from client intake through post-judgment proceedings when necessary.
Outside the courtroom he is known for straightforward communication with clients. He explains options and timelines in direct terms and outlines next steps clearly. His caseload has included both trial work and appellate filings, reflecting the dual nature of his admissions. He continues to practice through the Law Office of Todd W. Burris, handling litigation and appellate matters in Kentucky and before the Federal Circuit.
