About Jeffrey Scott
Jeffrey Scott Storms earned his undergraduate degree in sociology from Davidson College in 2003 and went on to receive his Juris Doctor from the University of St. Thomas, Minnesota School of Law in 2006. He completed a traditional course of study and moved quickly into private practice after law school. His academic record placed him among a cohort of lawyers who entered practice in the mid-2000s.
Storms began his legal career as an associate at Oppenheimer Wolff & Donnelly in 2006. Two years later he joined Gaskins Bennett Birrell Schupp LLP, where he served first as an associate and then as a partner starting in 2008. In 2015 he became a partner at Newmark Storms Law Office LLC, a firm where he has continued his career. Those successive moves map a steady rise through mid-size and boutique firms over more than a decade.
Across these roles he worked in private practice settings that demanded both client-facing work and case management. He has experience managing files, counseling clients, and working alongside other attorneys on matters that required collaboration inside and outside the firm. Colleagues describe him as someone who moved from associate tasks to partner responsibilities over a compressed period, taking on increasing supervisory duties and client development work as his career advanced.
Storms is licensed to practice in Minnesota. He has maintained professional memberships and participated in bar-related activities at the state level. His legal work has kept him centered in Minnesota courts and transactions, reflecting an ongoing orientation toward the states legal landscape. While he has practiced at several firms, his time as partner at Newmark Storms Law Office LLC marks his longest tenure at a single firm to date.
Clients and co-counsel have encountered him in a range of civil practice settings, where he has handled matters typical of a private-practice attorney moving from associate to partner. He draws on years spent in different firm environments to handle procedural issues, case strategy, and client counseling. His background includes both trial-adjacent responsibilities and transactional elements encountered in everyday practice.
Today he continues to practice at Newmark Storms Law Office LLC in Minnesota. He concentrates his practice on legal matters arising under Minnesota law.
