The firm represents individuals and businesses throughout Montana's oil and gas sector in matters involving landowner rights, OSHA compliance, and employment relationships.

The firm also handles personal injury cases arising from motor vehicle accidents, workplace injuries, and premises liability; product liability claims for both plaintiffs and defendants; real estate and property disputes including zoning issues, easement disputes, foreclosures, and landlord-tenant matters; and wills, trusts, and estate litigation for clients contesting executors' actions or family disputes following a death.
