Straightforward legal counsel, built on military and business experience.

David H. Burton Law helps individuals and families put estate plans in place, and helps small businesses handle contracts and legal risk, without the runaround.

Two areas of focus

A small practice, deliberately. Every matter gets direct attention, not handed off to someone you've never spoken with.

Estate Planning

Wills, trusts, gun trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and guardianship designations, explained in plain language and kept up to date as life changes.

Business & General Counsel

Contract drafting and review, entity formation, and fractional general counsel for businesses that need real legal judgment without a full-time hire. Just need one contract looked at? Contract Aide is a flat-fee, no-relationship-required option for that.

Why work with David

Military legal experience

Utah Air National Guard Judge Advocate (Major), with experience as a prosecutor, defense counsel, and legal advisor. That background shapes how he prepares, negotiates, and communicates.

Business owner's perspective

Years spent as a business owner and general counsel, drafting contracts and managing legal risk from the inside, not just advising from the outside.

Multilingual practice

Fluent in Spanish and Chinese, with working Portuguese, so language isn't a barrier to getting clear answers about your legal matter.
