Legal Experience:
Family Law. I have practiced family law since opening my solo law
practice in 1981. I have limited my cases almost exclusively to family law
since 1997.
Practice in Other Areas. During my 34 year career I’ve done work
involving many other areas of the law. I spent four years prosecuting
felony criminal cases as a Deputy Yellowstone County Attorney. I
prosecuted everything from DUI’s to homicide.
In the past I have also handled cases involving product liability (asbestos
defense), insurance subrogation, personal injury, bank bad faith,
commercial litigation and wrongful termination, to name a few. I handled
approximately 700 bankruptcy cases as a U.S. Bankruptcy Trustee and in
the course of administering those cases dealt with many commercial law
issues.
