Jason R. Burks
Jason R. Burks received his bachelor's degree in International Studies from the University of Missouri in 1996. Following graduation, he moved to Honolulu and attended the University of Hawaii's William S. Richardson School of Law where he received his juris doctorate in 1999. After receiving his JD, Jason served as a law clerk to the Honorable Victoria S. Marks in the First Circuit Court of the State of Hawaii.
In 2000, Jason accepted a position as a Deputy Public Defender for the State of Hawaii and began his legal career working in the Public Defender’s Hilo office. He transferred to the Honolulu office in 2003 and remained there until 2011. During his eleven-year career with the Public Defender’s office, Jason represented indigent criminal defendants in the District, Family and Circuit Courts of Hawaii. The last six years Jason spent almost exclusively in the Circuit Court representing defendants charged with the most serious of felony offenses.
Jason has represented Defendants charged with virtually every criminal offense Hawaii has to offer, from traffic and misdemeanor cases to theft, burglary, robbery, internet and white collar crimes, drug trafficking, assault, sexual assault and murder. Jason is a member of the National and Hawaii Associations of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL and HACDL). You can also view my attorney profile on NOLO.COM by clicking here.
In his free time, Jason enjoys spending time with his son, playing golf and softball, and coaching youth baseball.
