When another attorney brings a tractor-trailer crash case into their office, the stakes are high, and the path forward is rarely straightforward. These cases require a deep understanding of federal trucking regulations, sophisticated evidence, and a trial team prepared to navigate an aggressive defense.

Stinson Law Group partners with attorneys across Montana and Wyoming who want to ensure their clients receive informed guidance and a case team that is fully prepared for the road ahead. We are proud to collaborate with lawyers seeking support, shared resources, and co-counsel opportunities in complex trucking litigation.

Why Attorneys Partner With Stinson Law Group

A Legal Team That Devotes Significant Focus to Commercial Trucking Cases

Our team has built a strong foundation handling tractor-trailer and commercial vehicle cases throughout Montana and Wyoming. These cases demand precise investigation, early preservation of critical evidence, and a strategic approach rooted in experience—not guesswork.

Specialized Training & Industry Knowledge

Trucking cases are fundamentally different from standard motor-vehicle claims. Laurence Stinson has taken additional steps to deepen his knowledge of the field, including attending the Legacy Advanced Truck Accident Attorneys (ATAA) Course, which helped him gain a deeper understanding of what professional drivers face every day 

This training enhances our ability to collaborate meaningfully with co-counsel and support cases that require a sophisticated understanding of the trucking industry.

Over $5,000,000 Recovered

We’ve recovered over $5,000,000 in tractor-trailer crash cases. From lost wages to medical costs, the compensation in these cases is worth so much more than a check for our clients. Co-counseling with Stinson Law Group means your client receives the benefit of a team that consistently works on trucking litigation and understands the unique challenges these cases present.

How We Support Our Co-Counsel Partners

PREPARE ALL CASES FOR TRIAL TO GET YOU THE BEST RESULT

As experienced lawyers, we prepare all cases, big or small, for trial. The lawyer 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 lawyer for research and document preparation; and an experienced paralegal for organization and investigation.

UNDERSTANDING AND ACCESSIBLE

You should feel comfortable to ask any question and get an understandable answer from your attorney. 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.
