About John Rogers Burk
Interested in architecture in his youth, Roger studied architecture as an undergraduate. But his desire to work more closely with people and help them plan and solve problems led to the study of law. His ardent desire and deep commitment to the needs of each client lead to the design of unique and responsive estate plans. After starting his law practice in the San Francisco Bay Area where he grew up, Roger and his wife Linda moved their family to the Roseville area to provide a better environment for raising their children.
