Car wrecks, medical errors, dogs attacks--life altering events happen in a heart beat.  Innocent victims injured by others face not only the long road to recovery, and lost enjoyment of life, but also the economic pressure that comes from bills piling up and income being diminished or even gone after an injury.  After growing up in Great Falls, I went to college in Missoula, getting a BA in economics in 1991, followed by a JD in law in 1994.  After several years of a broader practice, including criminal defense, which allowed me to get trial experience, I eventually focused entirely on helping injured people.  Other than pro bono matters, I handle exclusively plaintiff/claimant cases related to injuries and insurance claims.  Most of my cases relate to injuries caused by car wrecks or medical malpractice, but I handle all manner of injury cases, including dog attacks, railroad crossing cases and motorcycle wrecks. I work in State, Federal, and Tribal courts throughout Montana.  As a result of my litigation and trial practice, I have also handled directly or indirectly some of the most important insurance and injury law cases decided by the Montana Supreme Court in the last 20 years.
