About Kurt
Biography
Kurt helps organizations, companies, and law firms resolve complex litigation problems. He represents both plaintiffs and defendants in trial and appellate courts, both directly and by consulting with lawyers or associating with them on cases.

He has particular expertise in securities litigation, administrative law, class actions, antitrust, Indian law, and all aspects of the environment, energy, and natural resources.
Kurt is an experienced appellate litigator, having represented clients before the United States Supreme Court, every circuit of the United States Courts of Appeal, and many state courts.

Kurt Gregory Kastorf's Lawyer Endorsements
"Kurt is a brilliant attorney. I would recommend him without any hesitation for litigation, as well as appellate practice. (Best to get him involved in the process at an early stage) He has a keen grasp of the law coupled with unparalleled experience in handling complex cases. Simply put, Kurt is my "go-to" for legal questions."
