Billings Montana Complex Litigation & Trial Attorneys

No matter how willing you are to negotiate your way out of a legal dispute, the opposing party may not be playing fair. Billings trial work attorneys John Heenan and Joe Cook carefully balance the need for flexibility with the need for assertive representation, helping clients get the results they need.

At Heenan & Cook, PLLC, we do not always end up arguing cases before a judge and/or jury, but we are always prepared to do so when necessary. Our firm’s success in a wide range of legal disputes stems from our willingness to take matters to court. This attention to detail gives us an edge in settlement negotiations when we present evidence that the opposing side knows will stand up in court.
