Attorney
Bozeman, Montana, 59715
Between my years at Harvard and law school, I did everything from putting up hay, slaughterhouse, and railroad work to custom house painting, moving households, and traffic engineering. I discovered what work was while working in the sand hills of northwestern Nebraska on railroad tie and siding gangs.
I learned early that everyone counts. FROM LAW SCHOOL TO MY FIRM I went to law school in Colorado. I was an Articles Editor on Law Review, but instead of seeking a big firm job after graduation, I chose work in which everyone counts. I was a law clerk for Chief Judge Joseph Bellipanni in Colorado’s Boulder District Court and then I clerked for Justice W. William Leaphart on the Montana Supreme Court. I had a stint as a deputy public defender in Missoula. For six years I was an associate with the firm of Hoyt and Blewett PLLC in Great Falls. Hoyt and Blewett is a plaintiffs’ firm with national recognition for its trial work.
