Christopher F. Burger

About Christopher

Mr. Burger is a trial attorney who brings those skills and experiences to prosecuting and defending claims, as well as counseling his clients to help keep them out of courtrooms, hearing rooms and losses. As a Kansas Country Lawyer, Mr. Burger handles the complex and simple, whether failed curtain wall or leaky basement foundation, uncompensated cardinal change or a home costing more than expected, the legal rights for a high voltage transmission line right of way or the gate to the back pasture, a manipulated bid shopped through the demands of an owner or an arithmetic error, predecessor activities affecting the critical path or a home that was not “ready for Christmas,” or any breached duty or contract resulting in economic loss, property damage or personal injury. He has been on the forefront of Kansas construction and real property law, being in the lead role in key Kansas cases concerning damages, delays, bids, defects, right of way, and settlements. Before joining Stevens & Brand LLP in Lawrence, Mr. Burger served as an Assistant Attorney General under Carla Stovall, where he handled all of the State of Kansas’ construction litigation and represented the state in a variety of other disputes, saving the state from losses and recovering the damages caused by others. His practice is broadened through his continuing experience, his role as Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Kansas’ School of Law where he taught construction law and litigation, his involvement in the community, his presentations at CLE’s and seminars, and his family.
