Brittany was admitted to the Montana Bar in 2013 and quickly began her legal career as a criminal prosecutor for Gallatin County—one of the busiest and most dynamic jurisdictions in the state. During her time at the Gallatin County Attorney’s Office, she prosecuted hundreds of criminal cases and conducted dozens of jury and bench trials, gaining invaluable courtroom experience and a deep understanding of Montana’s legal system and the people within it.. She then transitioned into private practice, where she focused on DUI and criminal defense, as well as plaintiff-side litigation. Her time as a prosecutor gave her a unique perspective and strategic edge when advocating for her clients in and out of the courtroom.. Next, an opportunity to take on a senior leadership role at a beloved Bozeman nonprofit opened the door to a new chapter. Brittany served for nearly a decade as the Director of Operations, advising on legal, HR, and business matters and helping guide the organization through periods of growth and change. That experience exponentially broadened her skillset and deepened her connection to the community she serves.. Now, as the founder of Saddle Peak Law, PLLC, Brittany brings together her legal expertise and real-world business and nonprofit leadership experience. Her practice focuses on business law, contracts, employment law, wage and hour disputes, nonprofit law, criminal and DUI defense, and equine law. Whether you're an individual navigating a criminal or contractual legal issue, a small business in need of guidance, or a nonprofit striving for compliance and sustainability, Brittany offers practical, informed, experienced, strategic, and compassionate counsel.. Brittany is deeply rooted in the Gallatin Valley and the people, organizations, and traditions that have made it so special. When she’s not working with clients, you’ll likely find her on horseback, volunteering for local nonprofit organizations, or cheering on the Montana State University Bobcats.

Catherine Stagg has assisted thousands of individuals and families since she was admitted to the practice of law in 1977. She takes her obligations as a "Counselor at Law" just as seriously as her advocacy role as an "Attorney at Law.". Since 1977, Ms. Stagg has worked almost exclusively in public interest law firms and agencies or as a self-employed sole practitioner, representing real people with real problems. As a new attorney, she was taught what she calls the No. 1 lesson that many lawyers never learn — to always ask what the client wants. Toward that goal, Ms. Stagg conducts a "legal checkup," taking time with each client to understand and problem-solve the legal issue at hand and to address any other legal matters on the horizon.. Catherine Stagg concentrates her practice in Social Security Disability (SSD and SSI), family and juvenile law and criminal defense. She can also counsel and represent clients in many areas of law, including immigration, wills and successions, employment discrimination and civil rights.. Local Roots and Long Experience. Ms. Stagg graduated from Sulphur High School in Sulphur, Louisiana, in 1972, left to see the world and eventually came full circle back to Calcasieu Parish. She has operated her own law firm, Catherine L. Stagg, Attorney at Law, L.L.C., in Lake Charles since 2006. She is admitted to practice in all state and federal courts of Louisiana, and is a member of the Louisiana State Bar Association, the Southwest Louisiana Bar Association and the National Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives (NOSSCR)..

I specialize in Criminal Defense and am driven by a passion for the courtroom and representing the interests of those who are in need of restitution, recovery, or exoneration. I represent those charged with very serious offenses as well as those charged with petty ones and invest the same level of work ethic into every case and client behind it. I've achieved two overturned convictions on behalf of clients seeking appeals, revealing exculpatory evidence suppressed by the State that ultimately proved innocence on behalf of those charged. Altogether, I consider it my life’s purpose to ensure those who are wrongly convicted, underrepresented, or overcharged experience the just defense they rightly deserve.

James E. Sudduth, III is the founder and driving force behind Sudduth and Associates. As a Lake Charles native he witnessed the lack of growth and direction present in his beloved city and decided to become the force of change the city needed. James knew that to accomplish this goal he would have to temporarily relocate to Baton Rouge. After law school, James returned home to serve as an Assistant District Attorney in the Calcasieu Parish District Attorney’s office, and during his tenure he was promoted to Misdemeanor Section Chief. When offered a second promotion, to the Felony Division, James declined stating that he was being called to serve the public in a different arena."At the end of the end of the day it isn't about the amount of money you bring home or the prestige attached to your name; rather it is the satisfaction of a job well done and knowing that despite your limited resources you have accomplished the near impossible. It is about making a difference in people's lives and having the desire to serve them when no one else will. This is what it means to be a true servant to the public."

Christie Smith IV is the Senior Partner of SmithAdvocates, LLC, a regional Louisiana law firm originally established in 1911 to represent laborers--and too often their widows and children--who were harmed by the burgeoning and unregulated timber industry in the rural South.  Mr. Smith's work today is the modern extension of that practice.  As a consumer advocate and lawyer-in-the-trenches, he has spent his career representing regular people in the fight for safer working conditions, reliable products, civil rights, and fair access to the courts..
