Justin’s interest in law was ignited during his undergraduate years through an internship with a criminal defense attorney. After he was invited to witness a client’s trial, Justin was hooked: watching the case play out in court fascinated him, and he loved seeing the impact of the not guilty verdict on the client. He knew immediately that this was the meaningful career he’d been searching for.

As an economics student, Justin had an interest in business alongside law, so he set his sights on commercial litigation as a way to combine both passions. In addition to the solid foundation it gave him in business matters, Justin’s economics background also made him a highly strategic thinker, which he now uses in litigation in strategizing for the best possible outcome for the client.

Justin represents clients in a variety of commercial matters and has a special interest in environmental and water law. He previously clerked at an environmentally-focused law firm, where he developed an understanding of the complex interplay between federal regulations, state laws and state agencies. Justin also served as a summer associate at Husch Blackwell prior to joining the firm and had the opportunity to analyze the impact of environmental and water law statutes for clients.

With a reputation for working as hard as possible to achieve the best client outcome, Justin wants clients to feel confident in his advocacy. His goal is to ensure that no client has to wonder at the end of a case what might have happened if he’d worked harder.
