If you are in need of an attorney Don and I highly recommend Anders. Not only is he extremely intelligent and highly competent, he is also very professional, ethical, compassionate and understanding. He was readily available to answer our questions, fought hard to win our cases, and always put our interests first. We were very fortunate to have him on our side. In addition, his staff was always knowledgeable and willing to help.

John took our case. A previous attorney spent over a year and then let us know he was not going to represent us. In less time John and his team got a substantial settlement. He does a wonderful job and cares!

We hired CJ to resolve major home inspection issues. CJ is knowledgeable, easy to contact, and a pleasure to deal with on a personal and professional level.

CJ provided much needed assistance to hold a building contractor accountable for a disastrous home construction problem. His efforts resulted in getting our earnest money refunded from a very reluctant adversary. He also counseled us against filing a lawsuit given time and money constraints. We appreciated that advice. Would not hesitate to seek his legal advice again if needed.

I had a very extraordinary case. Although it was an atypical event, I was quickly reassured by Martin in my defense and a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders; particularly because the safety of my family was a considerable matter. Martin helped reduce my concerns immensely, with his clear and honest approach and evident knowledge of his practice. He acknowledged and empathized with my situation, and was able to resolve my case with the best possible outcome.

Quick, easy, and professional for an expungement case. I contacted two other law firms first which quickly became difficult to work with as they would miss phone appointments or I would not get responses to my messages at all. Martin Judnich was fast to reply, fast with each step, professional, and knew what he was doing too as the case was resolved and ruled in my favor very quickly.

I have worked with attorneys all over the country. Anthony is an excellent attorney and was great to work with. Would not hesitate to work with him again.

Our firm hired Anthony as co-counsel to handle a very complex wrongful death case in Montana. To say that I was impressed would be an understatement. His ability to navigate Montana law and insight into our opponents was invaluable in reaching an amazing resolution for our client. I think it is also very important to note how impressed I was with his maturity and compassion for the client. Too many attorneys are only looking for the big payoff, and fail to recognize how this sort of tragic event can take its toll on their clients emotionally. Not Anthony. He is a true warrior for those harmed by the negligence of others. I would be honored to work with him again if the opportunity presented itself and would highly recommend him if you are looking for a great personal injury attorney in Montana.

Its hard to put into words what Anthony helped our family with and through. It was the worst time of our lives and not knowing anything about attorneys, it was nerve wracking to say the least. I am just so thankful we ended up with Anthony. Its scary to take on a legal battle of any kind but when you have someone like Anthony on your side it makes it so much easier to bare. He is kind, honest, and straightforward. He takes time to really make sure you understand everything and how the process works.
I really appreciate how real he was. He made sure to let us know all aspects of what could happen. Just all and all a great guy and an amazing lawyer, one I would 100% recommend and use again if I needed to.

You hope you never have to hire a personal injury lawyer….but if you do, you want to work with Michael Doggett.
From the beginning of working with Michael, it felt like I was talking to a human who genuinely cared about me and could bring the kind of counsel I needed. He was knowledgeable and brought a good outcome about.
I actually worked with him twice and would hire him again in an instant! (Fingers crossed, knock on wood, etc I don’t need to again)

I was in a wreck and not only was my husband injured, but my new Jeep was totaled. The insurance company wouldn’t pay for my Jeep because of “depreciation”, and I ended up getting sued by the finance company! Evan went after them for me and got the whole case resolved. Had their case thrown out of court. He didn’t even charge me. I would definitely recommend Danno Law Firm in Kalispell if you have an accident or a problem with an insurance company.

I was attacked and bitten by a vicious german shepard while at a friends house. I hired Evan Danno, who tracked down the owner of the dog and filed a claim with his homeowners insurance company. Evan and Kimber took care of all of my medical bills and the entire claim. My hand was permanently deformed from the bites, and they had the insurance company pay for all of that, plus my fear and emotional distress in the settlement. This is the “go to” firm if you need a personal injury lawyer!
Deborah Strozzi
A couple years after my dog attack, I was rear ended by a truck on the highway and my whole right side was injured. My truck was out of commission. I hired Danno Law Firm again. Evan and his paralegal, Kimber, got me a rental truck for over a month, got my mediccal bills paid, required the insurance company to pay my lost wages periodically, and got a good settlement for my pain and suffering. They were both very compassionate and helpful in dealing with my injuries, hospital and medical billings, and the three insurance companies involved in the case. I didn’t even have to go to court. They were on top of my claim from beginning to end. Thanks also for helping me deal with the emotional pain and suffering, and for answering all my questions. I highly recommend them for any legal help needed.

Attorney Miva VanEngen did a lot to help soften a stressful court experience—she communicates clearly and honestly, and shows a lot of compassion and intelligence. She worked hard on my case, was always responsive and direct, and all interactions were pleasant and marked by kindness. I was pleased with the results and grateful I'd found representation in Miva. Highly recommend.

This firm came to me highly recommended at a most horrific time after my husband was killed in a terrible collision. Mike McLean and his support staff were absolutely wonderful to me and my family throughout a devastating life event and the complicated legal matters that ensued.

After a very good experience working with Dean Chisholm in an employment matter, there was absolutely no hesitation to meet with Penni Chisholm when my wife sought an amicable separation & Divorce.
Penni initially supported my intentional fight to keep the love of my life as my wife but, when therapy and time didn’t provide answers Penni recommended a quality mediator to begin the process of separation. She is an amazing soul and gifted, caring Attourney that provides all scenarios and allows her client time and room to process while working diligently behind the scenes to ensure all options remain available. I couldn’t ask for a more human, compassionate & intelligent person to walk me through this process!

It is hard to find a competent family law specialist in a smaller town. Fortunately, I was able to find her website on google and retain her. Other lawyers in town seemed lazy and didn't want to take on new work. Penni met with me right away and help me file divorce against my wife who was destroying me emotionally. She was compassionate and smart and did great work.

Mrs. Chisholm has represented me in my divorce since October 2015. I knew after our first meeting that she was extremely competent and experienced in her field. She has taken her time to help me better understand the court procedures and what to expect. In addition to her professionalism, I have found Penny to be very sincere and kind hearted. Having said that, I would not wish to be in her line of fire! In summary, Penny has been everything I could have asked for in a lawyer. Her staff has been great as well. I do not wish divorce upon anyone, but should it occur, call Penny Chisholm!

I hired Craig after a car accident when the adjuster was trying to pressure me to settle. Craig took my case and was able to negotiate a far higher settlement than I was going to get. Craig impressed me with his knowledge about every aspect of my case and the tactics that insurance companies use. Craig did a really good job and I recommend him.

The Scheveck's helped me when I was suddenly put into a child custody battle I didn’t expect.

I needed someone to help me fight a parenting plan I was served with by my childs father. I contacted Layne and he worked so hard to make sure I understood everything he was asking for and why he was doing it a certain way. I wasn't asking for much just to keep my child with the parent she has been with her whole life and to keep her safe. He got my significant other and I what we deserved and made our court hearing way more comfortable then I ever thought it would be. Thank you Layne for the painless custody battle

My family homesteaded in Montana. We have been here for 7 generations. After retiring from Boeing, I returned to Montana where a group of who I can only call greenie anarchists threatened my life, vandalized my property and sued me multiple times. I hired a number of attorneys to represent me, including some big name types from Montana. Most of them only got my name right on my bill. We (barely) prevailed in the lawsuits filed against us, mostly because of my wife's attention to detail and her amazing memory. I told my wife shortly before we contacted Quentin that we were looking into the abyss. The greenies had forged documents allowing access to our property and after I confronted them with a shotgun had me arrested and charged with 6 felonies (240 years in prison). I have never been in trouble with the law. I held security clearances at the federal level and I was looking at prison for the rest of my life. We then hired Quentin as our previous attorney who told me I was a criminal had quit when I asked that Quentin come on-board. The charges "went away" as what I had done was LEGAL and Quentin pointed that out. The greenies then sued me and my wife. Quentin visited us, spent the night and by morning knew more about my case than I did. He had all the facts and had a response for all of the false accusations. We counter-sued and won over $250,000 in damages (what we asked for) as well as permanent restraining orders against those who sued us. I could not ask for a better attorney AND he is honest. I consider him a rarity in the legal profession, a good, honest, highly competent lawyer. If you are looking for one, look no further, this is the real thing!

I hired Quentin to pursue a claim a negligence claim against a home inspector. Quentin was dogged in pursuit of the inspector, who had left the state, and his insurance company. Through his efforts, I was able to make a full recovery. Quentin only charged me an hourly fee, which ended up costing me much less than a 1/3 or forty percent contingency fee of most other lawyers. I highly recommend Quentin.

Scott was recommended to me by a friend of mine to handle an employment discrimination case. He was considerate and timely in his responses, and he took the time to explain the legal system to me. He also explained potential pitfalls with my case and ways to address them. I have never been in a lawsuit before this, but he showed exceptional patience with my questions, and answered them fully. My case was difficult due to the other parties lawyers acting unprofessionally, but Scott helped me keep my cool when I was getting fed up with the other lawyers. From the beginning he told me that it could be difficult and also set reasonable expectations about what a fair settlement amount would be. I trusted his judgement and it paid off in the end.
Scott is very knowledgeable and actually cares about his clients. He looks out for his clients best interests and is also very fair in his pricing. My family and I are very happy with the way he handled our case and supported us throughout the whole process.
As a side note, my wife was in a car accident recently, and we have already hired Scott again to help with settling that case after her medical treatments.

I was referred to Roland Durocher by a mutual acquaintance, Roland is very personable. He was able to help me understand the legal process as I was looking for help with my medical issues.

Since then he has diligently done what was necessary and to help me understand every step. He has been very reassuring that the legal process takes time.

How refreshing. We had a ton of questions for a Workman's Comp/Retirement issue and only had one day in which to make our decision. We called Kraig late in the day on a Thursday afternoon and he was beyond patient with us plus took the time to explain everything in great detail. He explained that in our particular case we probably wouldn't come out ahead to hire him, but did give us tips on how to negotiate ourselves with Workman's Comp. Who does that? He did not try to up sell us, sign us or give us grandiose expectations, simply straight talked and gave us our best options. Thank you Kraig. We choose your law firm at random from internet listings but will recommend and choose your law firm in the future because of your compassion and the professional interaction we had with you. My husband even commented how nice it was you didn't seem like you were trying to get rid of us once it was determined we weren't hiring you. It is really stressful trying to figure all the Social Security, Retirement, Workman's Comp, etc. for a lay person; you answered all our questions and then some plus eased our minds that we were making the right decision. Highly recommend.

I worked with Patrick Risken as a court reporter for more than 15 years. Pat is a very talented, experienced and respectful attorney.

Even though it was late afternoon/after hours, John was able to provide me with important information, and by early the next morning had reviewed my lease and provided me with specific advice on how to proceed.

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You
A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.
Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.
When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:
- Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
- Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
- Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
- Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
- Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
- Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:
- Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
- Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
- Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
- File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
- Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
- Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
- Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.
How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
- Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
- No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.
Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:
- Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
- Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.
While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.
Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer
Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award. -
How long will my case take?
While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled. -
How often do you take cases to trial?
Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim. -
Do you have references from past clients?
Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.
How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
- Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
- Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
- Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:
- Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
- Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
- Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
- Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
- Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.
By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
