We address cases involving misdemeanor offenses (outside of city limits), civil cases for amounts up to $15,000, small claims valued up to $7,000, landlord/tenant disputes, county ordinances, forcible entry and detainer, protection orders, certain issues involving juveniles, and other matters. 

 

We are prevented by law to give legal advice.  The Montana Law Help website and the “Legal Resources” section of the Montana Bar Association website are helpful in understanding private civil matters.
