Burke Bogdanowicz PLLC

Another Firmsgiving in the books! We are eternally grateful to everyone who has been a part of our family. Our success is because of each of us, and we bring the best out of us in totality because of that.

We are proud to announce that Eric Freedman has joined the firm as an associate attorney.

Eric is a litigator focused on using his legal background and real-world experience to create positive outcomes for his clients. After earning his law degree from the University of Miami School of Law, Eric spent seven years in Florida representing medical providers and hospitals in cases involving allegations of medical malpractice. He gained invaluable experience in the courtroom as a young attorney, handling cases from inception through trial. In 2021, Eric moved to Dallas, Texas where he operated a regional trucking company and served as in-house counsel there, broadening his legal background.

Eric is a trial lawyer at heart, however, and joined Burke Bogdanowicz PLLC to get back to doing what he loves. Eric has managed hundreds of cases involving catastrophic injury, wrongful death, and business disputes. His experience as a business owner makes him particularly sympathetic to clients, as he is acutely aware of the issues they face on a daily basis.

Eric can be reached at [email protected] or (214) 550-2259.

We're hiring!

We are looking for an attorney with 2 - 10 years of civil litigation experience to join our team. Familiarity with business disputes (contracts, trade secrets, fiduciary duty claims, partnerships, etc.), product liability, finance/banking, and/or construction disputes preferred. Prior experience handling high-exposure insurance defense matters involving directors, officers, professional liability, and/or product liability is also welcome. Preferred candidates should have prior experience handling oral argument, depositions, and trials at the state and/or federal level. Strong writing skills are required. Candidates must have an active Texas law license.

Our associate attorneys enjoy hands-on experience. We typically staff our cases lean (one partner, one associate, one paralegal) and then utilize team assistance in the event of large-scale projects requiring more hands on deck (e.g., high-volume document production). Associate attorneys routinely interact directly with clients and are expected to take depositions, argue hearings, and try cases as a first or second chair.

Salary is dependent on experience ($125,000 - $200,000). Associate attorneys who bill at least 1,650 hours are eligible for a discretionary year-end bonus. Additionally, associate attorneys earn an automatic $3,500 bonus each quarter if they meet or exceed 500 billable hours, for a potential total of $14,000 each year (Q1-Q4). The firm offers health/vision/dental insurance, matching 401k, paid bar dues, and a flexible work/vacation schedule.

Candidates must send both a résumé and a recent, relevant writing sample to be eligible for consideration. Interested candidates may email us at [email protected].

Hats off to Scott Koelker, who was elected to partnership today.

“He’s quite the vagabond,” says founding partner Aaron Burke. “But, in all seriousness, he is an incredible lawyer and has earned this position with the firm.”

“Scott is from Midlothian, so an AI-generated picture of him with awkaward information seemed apropos,” says Robert. “We are somewhat concerned he is apparently wanted, but we can deal with that later over a can of chili and a case of Busch Light in front of a campfire.”

Congratulations, Scott!
