Uncontested family matters quoted up front
Name changes, step-parent adoptions, amicable divorces. Kind and quick.
P.S. — If your thing isn't on the list, ask anyway. If I'm not the right lawyer, I know who is, and I'll call them with you.
Big-firm training. Front-porch practice.
I spent six years at a 400-lawyer firm in Seattle doing commercial litigation — good training, wrong life. In 2019 I came home to Missoula, hung a shingle on West Main, and started practicing the kind of law where clients bring zucchini in August.
A solo generalist isn't a lawyer who knows less; it's a lawyer who knows you — your business, your family, your last three legal questions. When something's beyond my depth (it happens; I'll say so out loud), I refer you to a specialist I trust and stay in the loop as your translator.

House rules, posted like the prices.
Plain English, always
If you leave a meeting confused, I did my job wrong. Ask me to say it again, smaller — I genuinely enjoy that part.
Prices on the wall
Flat fees for most things, quoted before we start. Nobody should need a lawyer to understand their lawyer's bill.
Calls returned by 5
Same business day, every time. Usually it's me; occasionally it's me from the trailhead parking lot.
Honest about fit
Some matters need a specialist or a bigger bench. I'll tell you in the first meeting — and make the introduction myself.
Word travels in a town this size.
"Maren did our wills on a Tuesday, explained everything twice without sighing, and charged exactly what the sign said. We sent both kids to her for their leases."
— Dot & Ray, Rattlesnake"She formed my coffee cart LLC and then talked me OUT of a contract that would've sunk it. Who does that? Maren does that."
— Kayla, food truck owner"My deposit came back with interest and an apology letter. The landlord now recommends her too, which honestly says everything."
— Ben, grad studentThe sit-down is $50, credited if we work together.
Thirty unhurried minutes at the big table. Bring the paperwork, the questions, and the dog if he's friendly — Huckleberry insists.
