Each attorney in this office is dedicated to making sure all of your rights are protected. Every aspect of your case will be carefully analyzed to determine whether evidence was unlawfully collected by the police or other law enforcement agency. The attorneys will work with you to get you the best possible agreement from the prosecutor, and most importantly, they will be prepared to go to trial to defend you.
In Montana, offenders under the age of 18 (minors) may be charged in youth court with committing a delinquent act. There are different probation officers assigned to youth court and different procedures involved in resolving the cases. Our attorneys have significant experience handling cases for minors and explaining the differences between youth court and adult court.
Youth Court
Early Termination of Sentence
If you are on probation for either a deferred imposition of sentence or on a suspended sentence, you have the ability to file a motion for early termination of your sentence. If granted, you will discharge your sentence and no longer be on probation.
If you have been convicted of a sexual or violent offense, the Court may have imposed a requirement to register as a sexual or violent offender. We can petition the Court to remove this registration requirement if certain conditions have been met.
