Michael Kustra

Michael Kustra joined Battle Born Injury Lawyers in 2026 and assists clients in all aspects of litigation involving harm caused by negligence. His current profile does not identify him as a partner. Before joining the firm, he practiced corporate, transactional, transportation, and real estate law, as well as commercial litigation, giving his legal background a broader scope than personal injury work alone.

Michael earned his Juris Doctor from the University of North Dakota School of Law, graduating in the top five percent of his class, magna cum laude, and earning election to the Order of the Coif. He served on the North Dakota Law Review Board of Editors and competed in national moot court and trial competitions. He also holds a Bachelor of Commerce Honors degree from the University of Manitoba, with Finance and Accounting majors.

Michael previously defended Fortune 50 companies, Las Vegas Strip casinos, security companies, and multinational businesses in complex, high-exposure litigation. His profile states that he first worked at a national Am Law 100 firm and later at a smaller multistate firm. Before law school, he was a journeyman bricklayer and owned and operated a commercial bricklaying company, experience expressly included in his current biography.

Michael Kustra received top law-school marks in Advanced Business Associations, Contracts II, Conflicts of Law, and Trial Advocacy. He was elected to the Order of the Barristers for oral advocacy and brief writing. His reverified profile reflects his current 2026 role at Battle Born, his defense-side litigation background, his business and transactional experience, and his present work for clients harmed by negligence.
