After graduation and marriage, Burton moved with his wife to Cleveland and began the practice of law there. However, in 1914, he joined his wife's uncle as a company attorney for Utah Power and Light Company in Salt Lake City. He later worked for Utah Light and Traction, and then for Idaho Power Company and Boise Valley Traction Company, both in Boise, Idaho.
When the U.S. entered World War I, Burton joined the United States Army, rising to the rank of Captain. He served as an infantry operations officer in the 361st Infantry Regiment, 91st Infantry Division, and saw heavy action in France and Belgium. He received the Belgian Croix de guerre for gallantry in the push from the Lys and an individual citation from General Pershing for “meritorious and conspicuous services” during the Argonne Offensive. After the war, Burton wrote the official history of his regiment, “600 Days’ Service,” and joined several veterans' organizations, including the Army and Navy Union, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the American Legion.
Once back in the United States, Burton returned with his family to Cleveland, where he resumed his law practice. He also taught at Western Reserve University Law School.
