a warrior in court

James is relaxed in the office but is a warrior in court. He took on a very difficult constructive discharge case. We went to jury trial and won six figures against a well respected firm. I highly recommend James to anyone that needs someone in their corner.

Personal Injury & Family Law: helping you
navigate life's difficult moments

Legal matters can arise out of nowhere. An injury at the workplace, an accident on the road, or a frustrating family issue can leave you emotionally and financially drained. When you find life difficult to navigate, don't try to push forward alone. Your best option is to reach out to legal counsel.

Since opening in 2006, our firm pursues favorable solutions for you and your family when life gets tough. At Big Sky Justice, P.C., our goal in family law has always been to listen to your story, craft strategies suited to your unique situation, and take charge to put you in a position to move forward. From providing top-notch legal representation during your divorce to helping you successfully navigate child custody and child support, our attorney has a track record of success. If you live in Great Falls or anywhere else in Montana, schedule a consultation with us to get the process started.

Individuals who contact us after suffering a personal injury or a wrongful death of a loved one often wonder: What do I do next? How do I move forward? These feelings are understandable, a natural result of feeling lost and hurt through no fault of your own. We're here to tell you something we tell many of our clients: Relax. Let us handle it. When you need to face insurance companies to seek the financial compensation you deserve, we'll handle it. When you need to hold the other party accountable for your pain and suffering, we'll handle it. Life's difficult moments may not disappear overnight, but they will get easier when you have diligent, dedicated legal representation in your corner.

You shouldn't have to go through this alone. Let a family law and personal injury lawyer take the weight off your shoulders. We proudly serve clients in Great Falls, Bozeman, Missoula, Billings, and throughout Montana. Reach out to us today.
