About the Winner

"Michael Burten embodies integrity and fortitude, both through his military service and his journey to become a prosecutor, and we at CCK are proud to support him as he has supported so many of us," explained Robert Chisholm, one of Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick LTD's founding partners.
