How We Work

A clear path forward, from first call to final resolution.

We remove the guesswork from the legal process. Here's what to expect when you partner with Cannon Breck.

01

Free Consultation

We review the facts, answer your questions, and give you an honest assessment of your case — all at no cost or obligation. If we take your case, you pay nothing upfront.

02

Investigation

Our team gathers evidence, consults with medical experts, reconstructs the incident, and builds a comprehensive file that documents the full scope of your injuries and losses.

03

Negotiation

Armed with evidence, we demand full and fair compensation. We negotiate aggressively with insurers and defense counsel, never settling for less than your case is worth.

If a fair offer isn't on the table, we're ready for court. Our trial attorneys have the experience and preparation to present your case powerfully before a Montana jury.

The Cannon Breck Difference

Local roots. Proven results. Personal attention.

Too many firms treat personal injury as volume work — sign clients, settle fast, move on. That approach leaves money and justice on the table. At Cannon Breck, we limit our caseload because your case deserves an attorney who knows your name, understands your injuries, and fights like your future depends on it — because it does.

Rooted in the Flathead Valley, we know the judges, the courtrooms, and the community. That local knowledge translates to smarter strategy, better outcomes, and a legal experience that feels personal from the very first conversation.

Frequently Asked

Questions we hear most.

Common questions about employment law matters in Bigfork. Here are answers to help you understand your options.

SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION →
What is Bigfork's Wrongful Discharge from Employment Act?
Montana is the only state with a statute that limits at-will employment. Under the WDFEA, employers cannot fire employees without good cause after they complete a probationary period. If you've been terminated without legitimate business reasons, you may have a wrongful discharge claim.
How long do I have to file an employment claim in Bigfork?
Under the WDFEA, you generally have one year from the date of discharge to file a claim. Federal discrimination claims through the EEOC have a 300-day filing deadline. Because timelines vary by claim type, consulting an attorney promptly is critical.
Can my employer retaliate against me for filing a complaint?
No. Montana and federal law prohibit retaliation against employees who file complaints about workplace violations, participate in investigations, or exercise their legal rights. Retaliation can include termination, demotion, reduced hours, or hostile treatment.
What damages can I recover in a wrongful discharge case?
Under the WDFEA, you can recover up to four years of lost wages and benefits. Punitive damages may be available if the employer acted with actual fraud or malice. Additional damages may apply in discrimination cases under federal law.
Do I need a lawyer for an employment dispute?
Employment law is complex, with overlapping state and federal statutes, strict deadlines, and procedural requirements. An experienced employment attorney can evaluate your claims, preserve evidence, and maximize your recovery. Initial consultations at Cannon Breck are free.
