Profile

William U. (Chip) Burke's practice is highlighted by two components: effective representation on the behalf of persons accused of crime and his commitment to and respect for those unable to retain defense counsel. He has attempted to live up to the legacy of legendary Milwaukee lawyer Ray Cannon, who remarked, "In my career I have represented the strong and the weak, the rich and the poor, but never the strong against the weak nor the rich against the poor." As senior litigator for Federal Defender Sevices of Wisconsin, Inc., he continues to provide aggressive, passionate advocacy, reflecting honesty, experience and wit developed during associations with Milwaukee attorneys Jim Shellow and Bill Coffey, as well as a reputation for high standards of representation for indigents recognized while employed by the Legal Aid Society of Milwaukee as its chief of the Milwaukee Public Defender Office.
