About Jonathan
Jonathan Burris graduated from Edina High School, a public school located in Edina, Minnesota, in June, 1971. He then attended Colorado College, a liberal arts college located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, graduating in May of 1975 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Environmental Sociology. He earned his Juris Doctor at Hamline University School of Law, in St. Paul, Minnesota, in May of 1979, having excelled in the study of trusts and estates.
He first received his license to practice law in Colorado in 1980, and in Minnesota in 1985. He is admitted to practice law in the state and federal courts of both Minnesota and Colorado. His professional training has continued in the form of frequent and specialized continuing legal education courses in estate planning, trusts, elder law, criminal law and real estate subjects.
Attorney Burris is a general practice lawyer with a focus on the areas of estate planning and administration, probate law, elder law, business counseling, real estate law and criminal defense.
In more than 25 years of practice, he has handled a wide variety of cases from probate administrations and trust settlements to neighbor disputes and real estate transactions.
Prior to opening Burris Law Offices in 1985, Mr. Burris was a law clerk for several state district court judges in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He practiced law with a small law firm in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. He also worked for a real estate development company in Garland, Texas (near Dallas).
Following his passion for the environment and education, Mr. Burris was employed as chief steward for a large tract of privately-owned woodland and wetland located near Brainerd, Minnesota; and managed Crow Wing Natural History Area, an early Environmental Learning Center located in Crow Wing County, Minnesota.
Mr. Burris has held numerous leadership positions, both elected and appointed, in a wide variety of organizations. He was appointed by Governor Rudy Perpich to the Minnesota Environmental Education Advisory Board in 1990, serving for five years. He was reappointed by Governor Arne Carlson in 1996, and served as chairman.
Mr. Burris was elected by members and is past-president of the Minnesota Association for Environmental Education. He has served on the board of directors of the Izaak Walton League, Minnesota Division and is a former board member of Touchstone Mental Health, a Minnesota-based non-profit corporation providing services to people suffering from persistent debilitating mental illness.
He was an active board member of an arts-as-therapy-based non-profit organization located in Minneapolis called Stewart Pimsler Dance and Theater, Inc and a member of Sportsman for Change, a group which championed Minnesota Constitutional Amendment for conservation of our natural resources.
