I have combined legal experience of more than eighteen+ years. I worked through law school focusing on family and construction law. It was a practical education as opposed to the theoretical education of law school. Once graduated from law school, I was a law clerk for the Montana 18th Judicial District Court, Gallatin County. This was an invaluable education and experience. It provided me practical insight on how the legal system really works, not just in theory. From there, I began my private practice.
As a prosecutor for the City of Bozeman, I enjoyed the experience of trial by fire. I tried dozens of bench and jury trials. This, too, was an invaluable experience and education in trial work. In private practice, I've tried dozens of cases from family law to civil rights in state and federal courts. I have represented people on appeals to state and federal courts from the Montana Supreme Court to the United States Ninth Circuit Court. I have the appellate experience to competently and diligently represent you.
I'm admitted to practice before all state District Courts, United States Federal District Court for Montana, the Montana Supreme Court, and the United States Ninth Circuit Court.
In my personal time, I enjoy the abundance of recreation Montana has to offer, from bow hunting to fly fishing, and from whitewater rafting to ice climbing. Spending quality time with family and friends, preparing fine cuisine, and sharing the outdoors with my nieces and nephews are the joys of my life.
