Nate Bjerke

Whether he’s dissecting a corporate defendant’s argument,
strategizing on the basketball court, or pushing through a grueling CrossFit session at dawn, he thrives under pressure. His approach to law? “I fight corporate bullies,” he says. “They think their money and power give them the right to push people around. Our job is to make sure that doesn’t happen.”

Nate didn’t always plan on becoming a trial lawyer. With a background in corporate finance, he was on a different path — until he took a class in law school called Trial Practice. That was it. He was hooked. He knew litigation was what he was meant to do. “I considered tax law, but it didn’t feel like the right fit. I wanted to be in the fight, making a difference where it mattered.”

Now, as a seasoned trial attorney, Nate is known for his strategic mind and relentless preparation. Steve Terry puts it simply:

“He sees the other side’s moves before they make them.” This ability gives Nate an edge in the courtroom — one that has led to life-changing results for his clients.

One case that still sticks with him involved a 4-year-old girl who suffered severe injuries on a daycare playground. Her parents weren’t just seeking justice for their daughter — they wanted to make sure no other child suffered the same fate. As part of the settlement, the daycare chain was required to conduct expert safety evaluations at every one of its locations. The findings led to critical improvements nationwide. “That case wasn’t just about one family,” Nate says. “It was about protecting kids everywhere.”

Ask anyone at TSR, and they’ll tell you Nate’s the kind of guy you want in your corner. Paralegal Diane Heisler puts it plainly: “Nate’s unwavering commitment to his clients and his firm is unmatched. His compassion is at the forefront of every case. He leads with empathy, concern, and understanding.”

But for all his intensity in the courtroom, Nate is just as well-known for his sense of humor. His friends call him loyal, a little mischievous, and always quick with a smart remark. They say if Nate is up to bat, expect a home run. When he’s not in the office, you can find him reading historical fiction, lifting at the gym, or coaching basketball. Nate doesn’t take himself too seriously, but when it comes to his daughters, it’s a different story. They are his world. They share matching sparrow tattoos in honor of his late father.

When you work with Nate, you get the same fierce dedication he brings to every case, every client, and every fight he takes on. Because winning isn’t just about the verdict — it’s about standing up for the people who need it most.
