Caroline Burks is a proud Air Force spouse, mother of two boys,  and graduate of the University of Texas School of Law (hook 'em). She is a lover of all things pink and sparkly. At work, Caroline is a fierce and strategic litigator and advocate, having previously worked in complex patent litigation in district courts across the country. She has been opposed to some of the largest firms in the nation (and world) representing inventors in disputes against Apple, Samsung, Google, and other large corporations. However, in her pro bono work, Caroline discovered that her true passion rested in education and children's advocacy.

Education powers our future and everyone deserves an advocate to protect, defend, and enhance their right to an education. Electric Advocate PLLC represents Caroline's goal to bring accessible education legal representation and advocacy to the state of Iowa. Caroline has helped students secure proper accommodations and services in IEP and 504 proceedings in Texas and Iowa and assisted in drafting of legislative policy for disability rights groups in Texas. Beyond special education, Caroline is prepared to assist in disputes related to suspension or expulsion, disciplinary hearing, plagiarism, and Title XI. Have a different issue? Let's chat.

If you have a dispute or advocacy need related to a school or educational agency, Caroline is here to guide you through the process. The Electric Advocate will begin onboarding clients in Spring/Summer 2025. Please "Get on the List" for updates and to be contacted once client-onboarding has begun.
