Personal Narrative

“I will fight”

I will always fight for my clients. As a former high school and college wrestler, a Montana kid who paid his own way through college and law school out of state, and a graduate of a military academy, I’m not afraid of a fight. If I handle your case, I will encourage you to settle only if it is in your best interest and I will always be focused on winning your case at trial.

“I am communicative and responsive”

I provide my clients with my personal cell phone number and I am available 24/7/365. I return email and telephone messages promptly. I keep my clients fully apprised of developments in their case.

“Separation is in the preparation”

I believe strongly that preparation, attention to detail and hard work are the cornerstones to success in litigation. There are no shortcuts. Your case will be prepared to go to trial.

“I am practical”

My clients don’t want a legal treatise on their case; they want an accurate and concise analysis of their case delivered in a manner that is easy to understand. I am straightforward, approachable and down-to-earth. My clients will feel at ease working with me.

“Aggressive Professionalism”

I treat everyone with courtesy, respect and kindness. While courteous and professional, I believe that litigation must usually be handled in an aggressive, proactive manner. I will never allow opposing counsel to bully or disparage my client.
