Kelly A. George grew up intending to remain on his family’s farm in southwestern Oklahoma and follow in his father’s and grandfather’s footsteps.. But when he went away to attend Oklahoma Christian University in the early 1980s because his parents insisted on him obtaining a college degree, the farming economy sharply declined and became much less appealing. So when he received his B.S. degree in American Studies in 1985, George opted for an alternative career path. He decided to become a lawyer instead of a farmer, attending Oklahoma City University Law School and the University of Oklahoma College of Law, receiving his J.D. in 1989.. George has never doubted that decision because he’s found that he enjoys the practice of law as much as he does agriculture and has compiled a solid career as a plaintiff’s lawyer.. After receiving his J.D., he launched his legal career working at an established general-practice firm, mostly defending businesses and insurance companies. One day a case came his way in which the opposing counsel was an old law-school friend, Derek K. Burch, who was practicing with well-known plaintiff’s attorney Ed Abel. George settled that case with his former classmate—and became convinced he wanted to cross over to the plaintiff side. George got hired at the firm where Burch worked, and he and Burch began handling many cases together.. After several years, the two friends decided they wanted to launch their own practice, and in 1997, the law firm of Burch & George was born.. The two founding partners have remained true to their goal of focusing solely on plaintiff’s cases. In his own practice, George has achieved numerous significant outcomes, including a number of large verdicts and seven-figure settlements.. One of those notable cases involved catastrophic injuries suffered by the operator of an excavating machine who struck a gas line that exploded, burning him badly. The defendant utility company had neglected to properly identify the location of the gas line and finally agreed to settle the case for seven figures.

I hate injustice. My passion for justice led me to law school and endures today. The desire to see justice, along with a healthy dose of compassion, led me to a career helping those who have been injured or wrongly denied insurance coverage. During law school, I worked as an intern for the (legendary in Oklahoma legal circles) Rex Travis. My wife and I met Mr. Travis a few years before I went to law school when our insurance company balked at paying our claim after our family home burned. Mr. Travis had the claim resolved two weeks later. Later, first as an intern, and then as an attorney, at the Travis firm, I worked hands-on with Mr. Travis, helping people with real injuries and real insurance problems, while learning my profession from the best. I graduated from the University of Oklahoma College of Law in 2005 and worked with and practiced alongside Mr. Travis until October 2017 when I opened my own firm. Let me put my passion and experience to work for you. If you, or someone you know needs help, call me at the Law Office of Paul Kouri at.

I believe trust is the key ingredient to a successful attorney-client relationship.  I hope to earn yours through hard-work and open communication.  Call for a free initial consultation.

GENERAL: I celebrated my 50th year as an Oklahoma attorney in 2012. I focused on insurance defense for the first half of my practice before switching my practice to the plaintiffs’ side, so I have seen insurance law from both sides. Most of my practice comes from referrals from my fellow attorneys, mainly on tougher cases involving insurance coverage and personal injury litigation. TEACHING: I have served Oklahoma attorneys and legal assistants as an adjunct professor since 1986. I have taught Insurance Law and Conflicts of Law at the University of Oklahoma College of Law since 1994. I also taught Insurance Law and Advanced Torts at Oklahoma City University School of Law from 1993-2010, and Insurance Law in the Legal Assistant Program at the University of Oklahoma College of Law from 1986-1992. In addition to O.U. law classes, I present continuing legal education (CLE) courses for the Oklahoma Bar Association, Oklahoma Association for Justice, and various other legal and bar groups on subjects related to uninsured/underinsured motorist law, torts and insurance law, and professional responsibility.COURT ADMISSIONS and PROFESSIONAL PUBLICATIONS, PAPAERS, AND LECTURES: please visit the Travis Law Office website for full CV.If you have a case with which you need help, or just a question on the law, let me put my experience to work for you.

Derek K. Burch is a firmly rooted Oklahoman, but his reputation as a trial lawyer has taken him to courts across the country. Oftentimes, his own cases take him to other jurisdictions, but frequently he is called upon by lawyers elsewhere to assist them in their own local cases.. After receiving his J.D. from the Oklahoma City University School of Law in December, 1988, Burch began his legal career working for two law firms that handled insurance defense and commercial work, but it wasn’t the kind of law that he wanted to practice. Noted Oklahoma City plaintiff’s attorney Ed Abel gave Burch the chance to join his firm and handle personal-injury cases and Burch found what he was looking for. Burch’s old law-school friend, Kelly A. George, then also joined the Abel firm and they worked together there for several years before deciding to create their own firm, launching Burch & George in 1997.

DeeAnn L. Germany joined the firm of Burch & George in 1998 immediately after receiving her J.D. from the University of Oklahoma College of Law and has spent her entire legal career with this firm. In 2011, she became a partner and the firm changed its name to Burch, George & Germany.. Her practice has maintained its same essential focus over the years: solely plaintiff’s work, representing individuals in cases involving medical-device and products liability, motor-vehicle accidents, catastrophic injury, medical malpractice, and breaches of contracts.. In 2007, Germany recorded a $1,025,000 verdict against an orthopedic medical-device manufacturer after a femoral stem broke in a hip replacement for her client.. Early in her career, Germany and future law partner Derek K. Burchtried a slip-and-fall case that resulted in a verdict of more than $1 million for a young man who was severely and permanently injured.. She also recently negotiated a just settlement on behalf of the family of a three-year-old girl who was killed in an accident with a tractor-trailer that jackknifed when its driver was going too fast on a two-lane country road.. In representing injured people and their families, Germany finds that compassion is often in short supply with defendant companies.
