Three attorneys of the firm are recognized in the 2025 edition of The Best Lawyers in America publication. Mark Kovacich is named to the list for the ninth consecutive year for his work representing plaintiffs in personal injury litigation, while Ben Snipes is honored for the second consecutive year for handling claims in workers’ compensation as well as personal injury litigation.

In addition, the firm’s Shelby Stover is named to the list of “Ones to Watch,” highlighting attorneys who have demonstrated exceptional skills early in their careers. Recognition by Best Lawyers is based entirely on peer review, capturing the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional abilities of their colleagues within the same geographical area and legal practice area.

We believe these honors show the firm’s commitment to providing high quality legal services and reinforces its position as a leading law firm in the state of Montana.
