Corporate and General Business

Marra, Evenson & Levine, P.C. has a broad-based corporate and general business practice representing closely held and non-profit companies. We represent and counsel our clients in the planning and formation of their business entities, financing and acquisitions, as well as matters that arise in day-to-day operations.

Litigation

Our personal injury, products liability, and insurance litigation practice involves all aspects of commercial and business litigation in Montana. We are actively involved in alternative dispute resolution, including arbitration and mediation, when those procedures offer advantages over litigation. Our lawyers have handled the entire gamut of disputes in which corporations, partnerships, individuals, limited liability companies, trusts, and estates may become involved, including breach of contract suits, construction disputes, unfair trade practices, administrative proceedings, partnership and shareholder disputes and dissolutions, and general civil litigation. Our expertise extends to state and federal practice as well as to bench and jury trials.

Appellate Services

Marra, Evenson & Levine, P.C. prides itself on producing a quality appellate product at a reasonable cost. We are sensitive to the increasing concerns of our clients to monitor closely the rising costs of litigation and are able to produce an appellate work product at a highly competitive cost.

It is our belief that one of the most important functions of our appellate practice is to counsel our clients initially on whether an appeal should be prosecuted at all, and whether a case should be settled after trial rather than on appeal. Our familiarity with the appellate courts and the justices who sit on those courts allows us to counsel clients regarding their chances on appeal and the risks of making bad law decisions which would have an adverse effect upon you and/or your business. This service should be considered immediately after the trial or administrative hearing of the underlying case. This type of early analysis can assist in bringing cases that should be settled to a speedy conclusion.

If you and/or your entity are seeking appellate assistance, Marra, Evenson & Levine, P.C. has the talent, experience, and versatility to provide that assistance either in the form of counseling after trial and before appeal, or in the event an appeal is taken, through vigorous advocacy before any appellate court.
