DRM’s ability to provide legal representation is limited by our priorities, objectives, and resources available at any particular time. There are several private attorneys who practice special education law in Montana. These attorneys have requested to be included in this list. They are included as a courtesy, not a recommendation. DRM makes no recommendation or guarantee regarding the abilities of the attorneys listed or their likelihood of success with your concerns. If you are an attorney with experience representing parents in special education matters and would like to be included in this list, please contact DRM at 406-449-2344.
