Kristopher D. Burgess Esq. - Lebanon, OH

Born and raised in Ohio, Kris Burgess is exactly where he belongs—fighting for injured Ohioans and pursuing full compensation and real accountability. As an injury attorney with Rittgers, Rittgers & Nakajima, Kris stands up for people who’ve been hurt because someone else didn’t take safety seriously, making sure they feel heard, supported, and never left guessing about what comes next.

Kris’s diverse life experiences shape how he shows up for clients. Before he was ever a lawyer, he played rock shows in hole-in-the-wall bars until closing time, toured Japan as a musician, taught math to students of all ages, and learned what it means to be part of a great team—on the field and in the courtroom. Those chapters built the perspective and discipline he brings to his practice today: steady under pressure, direct with opponents, and human with clients.

With years of courtroom experience in high-stakes injury cases, Kris represents individuals and families navigating some of the hardest moments of their lives—from serious and catastrophic injury cases to wrongful death claims after a tragic loss. He works to uncover the full story, build the strongest case possible, and put his clients in the best position to win.

Whether he’s standing up to insurance companies, large corporations, or determined opponents in court, Kris thrives in high-stakes disputes and brings a seasoned, relentless approach to every case. Backed by the team at RRN, he’s proud to serve the Cincinnati community and fight every day to make sure injured Ohioans and their families are heard—because seeing someone’s pain acknowledged, their story respected, and their future protected is what makes the hard work worth it.
