Best Law Firms in Montana

The firm that is now Moulton  Bellingham PC was one of the first law firms established in Montana. Founded at the turn of the century by Judge Charles H. Loud and others, the firm began as a circuit-riding law practice with offices in several Montana cities, including Miles City, Red Lodge and Forsyth.

By the early 1920's, the firm had consolidated in Billings, where it has remained to the present. Our practice extends throughout the state of Montana, and northern Wyoming.  Moulton attorneys have successfully handled litigation in virtually every city in Montana, and know well the local judges and attorneys state-wide.  

Whether handling a case in its entirety, or as local counsel, the Moulton Firm has earned a reputation for superior legal representation, combining time-honored characteristics of careful analysis, thorough preparation, and devotion to its clients. Commitment to this tradition of quality, enhanced by thoughtful creativity and current technology, has attracted a diverse client base that includes a significant portion of the region's most successful entrepreneurs and major corporations operating in Montana. The Moulton Firm is proud to provide the individual attention, conscientious service and steadfast dedication necessary to earn the allegiance of its clients and the respect of the courts.

Throughout the years, the Moulton Firm has continued the tradition of its founders: meeting the needs of its clients for quality representation in the most conscientious and cost-effective manner possible. The philosophy of the firm is simple: we will not over-staff or over-lawyer a matter, and we will not engage in make-work representation. We are sensitive to the client's need for economy as well as efficiency and quality. It is our goal to represent our clients aggressively while resolving complex legal problems with as little expense and intrusion as the circumstances will permit.

Individual attention and accessibility to the client are hallmarks of the firm. As the firm has grown, its members have maintained a close working relationship so the firm can draw upon the diverse talents of its members and apply the appropriate expertise to any particular issue.
