Atty. Kristi Burmeister, Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri, USA


Summary

I helped form PEAK for the same reason I became an attorney, I like solving problems and I?m not afraid to take risks or think outside the proverbial ?box.? I am very fortunate to be surrounded by other lawyers at PEAK who feel the same. If you are reading this, I hope it means we will be working together. I graduated from UMKC law school with highest honors and was fortunate to be hired by Shook, Hardy & Bacon LLP in 2007, where I was promoted to Partner seven years later. As an attorney at Shook, I spent most of my time working as national counsel for a Fortune 100 company dedicated to providing life-saving products and services. It was a great job and a great client. I worked on a flat-fee model, litigating all over the country. I immersed myself with the client?s business. I learned from some of the country?s best attorneys and even found myself sitting at trial counsel table at an early stage of my career (a rarity for a young, ?BigLaw? attorney). The client ultimately rewarded me for my hard work by allowing me to first-chair a jury trial notwithstanding my (relative) lack of ?gray hair.? I am proud of my trial experience. And I love everything associated with a jury trial.In the eleven years I have practiced law, I have worked on nearly every type of civil lawsuit. I have handled straight-forward ?slip-and-fall? cases as well as multi-million-dollar contract disputes. I have resolved high-stakes, business-to-business litigation. No matter the case or the issues, clients are best served by a lawyer who thinks strategically and practically. A ?win? is not truly a win if the client?s legal fees are unreasonable or if there is a lack of alignment between the client and attorney. I am always mindful of the value attorneys need to bring to any dispute. I formed PEAK because I would like to revolutionize the practice of law. If you are looking for legal advice or have a problem you would like to solve, I would love the opportu View More ?
