Practice Areas

- Litigation

We help our clients avoid litigation, where possible, by providing advice and counsel founded upon a tradition of experience and sound judgment. When litigation cannot, or should not, be avoided, we are ready to provide courtroom representation to our clients before all federal, state and administrative forums in Montana. Our litigators work with clients to plan and prepare for litigation in advance, in order to protect the client's long-term needs and interests.

Our lawyers are skilled in mediation, negotiation and alternative methods of dispute resolution. We settle cases promptly and economically when fair settlements are possible and acceptable to our clients.

The majority of attorneys in the firm handle litigation matters. In addition, we have an in-house investigator on staff to assist with background information, collection of evidence, and witness preparation. Our lawyers stay current in their fields by teaching and attending continuing legal education seminars. Most importantly, our litigators work closely with the other lawyers in the firm to make certain that the litigation results are consistent with the clients' other legal needs, giving our clients the widest possible range of protection and quality service.
