Biography

Brandon Thompson’s entire legal career has been dedicated to representing individuals and families who have suffered tragedy as a result of medical negligence. There is no greater professional honor for Brandon than being asked to help people when they are facing the darkest times of their lives.

Brandon is one of the foremost trial lawyers of his generation. He has won numerous multi-million jury trials – including the largest medical malpractice or personal injury jury verdict in Minnesota history – and has negotiated many millions of dollars of settlements for his clients. He is a member of a number of elite national and international trial organizations, and in 2018 was invited to be the youngest-ever Fellow of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers – recognized as one of the most prestigious organizations of trial lawyers in the world.

Brandon’s work ethic and compassion are a product of his blue-collar upbringing; his grandfather was a mechanic, his dad was an electrician at the Ford plant, and he was the first person in his family to go to college. The father of three children, including a young daughter with extraordinary medical needs, he empathizes with his clients in a way very few lawyers truly can.
