President & Trial Consultant

Mike Liffrig

Mike Liffrig is a 1985 graduate of the University of Michigan Law School. He began his career as an insurance defense lawyer, later becoming an endorsed candidate for the United States Senate, a plaintiff personal injury attorney, a prosecutor, a mediator, and a trial coach.

By 2019, Mike was moving to the plaintiff side: one of his clients won a jury verdict for $1.3 billion in conservative Bismarck, North Dakota.  Since that stunning verdict, Mike has taken particular joy in maximizing the results for plaintiffs across the United States.

Mike wants his lawyers to get out on the cutting edge, push themselves, make mistakes, and learn from them, all with the goal of maximizing the financial recovery for those who’ve been harmed.

Mike is at that stage of life where he has less anxiety and can focus on the relationship with his attorney clients. A friendly relationship of personal trust allows Mike to help our lawyers tell their story with real power and become more authentic with every focus group and public trial we undertake together.

On the personal side, Mike is the father of nine adult children. He and his wife Julie raised their family on the windswept prairie of western North Dakota. The family ranch taught all the Liffrig kids that hard work is sacred and that manual labor has its own sweet dignity.
