GENERAL CIVIL LITIGATION

I have a comprehensive, detail-oriented approach to a wide variety of practice areas, representing both plaintiffs and defendants. I cannot possibly list every case or type of case that I’ve ever been involved in, but I typically handle cases such as:

Personal Injuries, including auto accidents;
Employment and employment contracts
Real estate disputes such as residential or commercial contracts and construction
Commercial and Business Litigation
Contracts Litigation
Construction Disputes
Insurance and Bad Faith
Appellate Cases handled in both state and federal courts in Montana and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals

I 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, I am ready to provide courtroom representation to clients before all federal, state and administrative forums in Montana. I work with clients to plan and prepare for litigation in advance, in order to protect the client’s long-term needs and interests.

I am also skilled in mediation, negotiation and alternative methods of dispute resolution. I settle cases promptly and economically when fair settlements are possible and acceptable to the client.

If you have been sued or need advice on your rights regarding contracts, litigation or any of the other areas listed above, contact me for a consultation on how I can help protect your rights and claims.
