Justin earned his bachelor’s degree in English from the University of Minnesota Crookston’s online program while working full-time in factories. He is now a dual-degree candidate at the University of St. Thomas, working towards a J.D. and an M.A. in Catholic Studies. He plans to sit for the bar in July 2026.

Since joining Brown & Carlson as a law clerk in 2024, Justin has been developing his skills in workers’ compensation defense. He approaches each assignment as an opportunity to grow as an advocate and to better understand the claims process. He is particularly interested in litigation and values the challenges and strategies in preparing a strong defense.

Outside of the law, Justin enjoys spending time with his family and their dogs, reading, and playing his guitars. During football season, you will find him at every home game, cheering for the Vikings.
