Burris Law PLLC

Burris Law's beginning can be summarized as a love story between an IP attorney and a city.
In 2013, Kelly Burris moved to Detroit to accept a role as managing partner of the newly opened Detroit office of one of the largest IP boutique law firms in the country. The office would be housed in the USPTO's first satellite location - the Elijah J. McCoy Midwest Regional United States Patent and Trademark Office, which had made the city an appealing destination for the IP law community.
Then, only three years later, Kelly's firm decided to shutter its Detroit location. As Kelly's colleagues transferred to other cities, she resisted. Too many bonds had been made with the Detroit community: The office neighbors at the patent office had become friends, Kelly had grown deeply connected to the Detroit business scene, and she had just begun to explore the city's local and vibrant arts community.
Opening up her own law firm had long been a dream of Kelly's, so with a mix of desire and opportunity, she decided to stay and transform her old firm's office into her own. With a couple of paralegals at her side, Kelly opened Burris Law in 2016. Since then, Burris Law and Detroit have been inseparable.
