Our Featured Practice Areas
Personal Injury
A serious injury can change your life. Many victims of car accidents, faulty products or dangerous premises are left to cope with lost wages, costly medical bills and other expenses. Our lawyers can help you negotiate a fair settlement. Although we can resolve many claims through negotiation, we are not afraid to take your case before a judge if necessary.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Accidents happen. But if your crash was caused by the negligence, wrongdoing, or reckless actions of another party, you need an attorney in your corner. Our Missoula team can determine the cause of your accident, establish liability, and help you recover the compensation you deserve. If you are left with permanent injuries, we can also help you secure compensation for the cost of lifelong care.
Criminal Defense
Our attorneys have been practicing criminal defense law for over 100 years combined. We know how to successfully represent clients who are being charged with driving under the influence, drug offenses, and other crimes. Our Missoula lawyers understand that a criminal charge can deeply affect your conscience, so we always treat you with the respect you deserve.
Employment Law
Your workplace should be somewhere you can feel safe and protected. If you feel that your employer has created an unsafe work environment through discrimination, harassment, or other illegal actions, our lawyers can help. Our attorneys understand the complexities of employment law and can help you develop a strong case.
