PREPARE ALL CASES FOR TRIAL TO GET YOU THE BEST RESULT
Decades of experience tell us to prepare all cases, big or small, for trial. A legal team that does not prepare your case for trial is an easy target for the other side and is likely to lose. The best settlement occurs when you, your lawyer, and your law team are ready for trial. At Stinson Law Group, we are ready for trial and the other side knows it.
HAVE THE EXPERIENCE AND TEAM TO REPRESENT YOU
Experience tells us using a “case team” best predicts a win. At Stinson Law Group our case team is a lead lawyer who will try your case if required, conduct settlement negotiations, and interact with the court and opposing counsel; a dedicated trial support legal team for research and document preparation; and an experienced paralegal for organization and investigation.
UNDERSTANDING AND ACCESSIBLE
You should feel comfortable asking any question and get an understandable answer from your lawyer and their legal team. We pride ourselves on treating our clients respectfully, explaining things clearly, and answering all questions. This may well be your first time in the legal system, but we have thousands of hours of handling cases just like yours. We will guide you.

Personal Injury
A personal injury is defined as physical, emotional, or psychological harm that someone endures. When a personal injury occurs due to another party’s negligence or intentional actions, you have the right to seek compensation for damages.
Common causes of personal injury due to negligence include vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, slip and falls, defective products, and workplace incidents.
Our job is to thoroughly assess your case — investigating the cause, the injuries, the expenses incurred, and advising you on the best course of action. We also handle negotiations with insurance companies that often try to minimize payouts.
If we can’t secure a fair settlement, our team is prepared to litigate in court — an arena where we excel, as reflected in Laurence Stinson’s recognition among the Top 100 Trial Lawyers in the United States.
Tractor-Trailer Crashes
The Stinson Law Group team is highly experienced in tractor-trailer crash litigation in both Wyoming and Montana. These cases often involve large commercial vehicles weighing 80,000 pounds or more, typically operated by out-of-state trucking companies, making them more complex than standard car accidents.
If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, hiring a law firm with specialized experience is crucial. Our lawyers understand local and federal regulations and hold all responsible parties accountable — including the driver, trucking company, warehouse or port loaders, and any other party whose action or inaction contributed to your injuries and damages.
We work closely with clients to recover compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, and ongoing medical treatment when necessary.
Our team develops tailored legal strategies to maximize settlement amounts, building strong cases, identifying liable parties, and negotiating aggressively with insurers to secure the compensation you deserve.
Car Accidents
When it comes to automotive collisions, the legal team at Stinson Law Group has handled just about every common type there is. We have fought to secure compensation for clients involved in car, motorcycle, and bicycle accidents due to drunk drivers, reckless driving, distracted motorists, and speeders.
Our process involves a thorough case investigation. We gather evidence–police reports, eye-witness statements, and commission reconstructions when beneficial. We identify the cause and hold all liable parties responsible.
We work with insurance companies to collect damages for medical, property damage, emotional distress, plus pain and suffering. We don’t rest until justice is served.
Wrongful Death
When a person’s death is caused by the negligent, reckless, or intentional action of another, a wrongful death case can be filed. The goal is to seek compensation for the financial and emotional losses suffered by the surviving members of the family.
We work to build a strong case against those responsible through evidence gathering and establishing liability.
Clients are well within their rights to seek damages for funeral costs, medical expenses, lost income, emotional distress, and loss of companionship.
Please note that state laws apply differently to wrongful death cases. Namely, statutes of limitations may apply. For example, Montana allows up to three years, from the date of the incident, to file a claim. Wyoming allows just two years.
Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when a sudden external force, such as the impact from a strike, the jolt from a serious car accident, or an object penetrating one’s head. TBI is often the result of a violent incident; however, many clients have experienced brain injuries due to a slip and fall.
Regardless of the cause, the results can be quite devastating, with many victims reporting cognitive decline, physical disability, and emotional impairment. Symptoms range from mild to severe, while some clients experience brain stem issues.
Our team is experienced in handling brain injury cases. We support all types of brain injuries. Everything from car and truck accidents to workplace injuries and traumatic brain injuries are among the types of cases we offer representation for.
Nursing Home & Elder Abuse
Unfortunately, nursing home abuse is more common than any of us would like to admit. Abuses include physical, emotional, sexual, and financial infractions. Neglect and abandonment are also common ways in which our seniors are mistreated at assisted care facilities.
If you’re unsure whether a loved one is being treated poorly, there are signs to look for. Unexplained injuries, emotional withdrawal, poor hygiene, hazardous living conditions, and unusual financial activities are all red flags that deserve further investigation.
Our law firm handles cases that involve physical abuse, psychological harm, financial exploitation, and sexual assault in nursing homes. We conduct thorough investigations, advocate for fair compensation, and work to receive damages for emotional distress.
Third-Party Job Site Injury
Our law firm handles third-party job site injuries. If you are a contractor, subcontractor, property owner, equipment manufacturer, vendor, delivery driver, or other stakeholder other than the business or a direct employee, Stinson Law Group can help.
Whether the incident takes place on a construction site, factory, warehouse, or other work environment, you have rights, and you shouldn’t be exposed to dangerous situations.
Falls, equipment malfunctions, hazardous materials, and poor maintenance are a few of the most common job site injuries we see. As with all injury cases, we do our own investigation and hold those responsible liable.
Note that state-specific laws can impact comparative fault rules, and this can have an effect on the compensation based on shared responsibility. Because of this, it’s important that you work with a personal injury attorney who is knowledgeable about local and state laws in this regard.
Business & Commercial Law
Whether seeking business formation and structuring assistance or are in need of litigation services, Stinson Law Group has highly experienced lawyers who can assist.
We work on various litigation and dispute cases, including issues with shareholders, partnerships, and other membership conflicts. This includes contract breaches and legal conflicts related to contractors, subcontractors, and landowners.
We offer contract drafting, dispute resolution, and construction lien services. We also provide real estate and property law assistance on commercial leases, development disputes, and restrictive covenants for HOAs and COAs.
Additionally, we work with clients to ensure business transactions are conducted legally and in good faith. We offer legal guidance for buying, selling, and expanding businesses and review banking transactions to help prevent fraudulent actions by bad actors.
Insurance Disputes
Insurance disputes arise when an insurer denies, undervalues, or delays payments on a claim. Bad faith practices, coverage discrepancies, policy exclusions, and undervalued settlements are among the most common types of cases that come across our desks.
As with many of the legal services offered, state laws are different. So, it’s vital that you have an attorney who knows the laws in the state in which you are conducting litigation. Wyoming, for example, requires proving a lack of justification for claim denial. While Montana regulates insurer conduct through the Unfair Claim Settlement Practices Act.
