Our firm has extensive experience in litigating claims involving commercial transactions, products liability, catastrophic injury, motor vehicle liability and wrongful death claims. Part of being a successful litigation firm involves the ability to recognize early which cases are appropriate for settlement or summary judgment, and which are destined for trial. We are committed to diligently and effectively represent our clients in a cost-efficient manner.
We handle a broad range of construction cases, often representing general contractors and subcontractors in all trades.

We utilize our knowledge and skills in advising the nation's leading insurers as they navigate the challenging nuances of Montana insurance law. We advise a large number of insurers in handling demands for advance payments and in declaratory judgment actions; we routinely prepare opinions for insurers on complicated coverage issues. We also have a significant amount of experience defending insurance carriers in Montana bad faith litigation.
We are proud to represent health care providers across Montana. We have successfully represented health care providers at the Montana Medical Legal Panel and in civil trial. With experience in all aspects of professional liability defense, our firm is well qualified to handle sensitive issues of confidentiality, the impact of the case on the professional's ongoing practice, and the need to work closely with the client in litigation strategy and settlement if appropriate. In addition to medical malpractice defense, we represent attorneys, accountants, real estate brokers, engineers and other professionals in civil litigation.
We represent large and small trucking companies in personal injury, catastrophic injury and death cases.
