As a solo lawyer in Missoula, Montana, I provide personalized and dedicated legal assistance in the areas of individual Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy, criminal defense, and civil litigation. Contact me today for a free initial attorney consultation.

Bankruptcy

Bankruptcy gives individuals an opportunity for debt relief and a fresh financial start. As a bankruptcy lawyer, I will guide you through the process while stopping creditor harassment, protecting your assets, and eliminating debt.
Civil Litigation

Civil cases are a way of settling disputes between private individuals or businesses, typically for money. I will use my many years of experience in these cases to achieve your goals.
Criminal Defense

Criminal defense lawyers are the last line of defense between our constitutional rights and the state’s police power. If you are charged with a crime, I will work tirelessly to ensure your rights are honored while navigating the case to its best outcome.
