The Drake Law Firm, P.C. was formed in
2005 to provide high-quality legal services in a professional,
but friendly atmosphere.
Curt Drake
worked for 23 years in a local "insurance defense"
practice, while also representing both businesses and individuals in
their own claims.The Drake Law Firm client mix
includes many local Montanans who find themselves unexpectedly
injured and who need guidance through the process of presenting
their claim and resolving it. The firm also represents insurance
companies, self-insured entities and their insureds in defense of a
broad spectrum of claims. These include several national insurers,
as well as regionally-based insurers, risk management companies and
governmental entities.
By representing a cross section
of people and companies both making claims and defending against
claims, The Drake Law Firm is able to provide advice based upon a
broad and varied base of experience and knowledge. The usual goal of
both sides is to resolve the problem, claim or lawsuit as quickly
and as inexpensively as possible. We believe that our experience
representing both ‘sides’ of claims helps us to understand the needs
of both sides to a claim or lawsuit, so that the best possible
advice can be given.
We also recognize that
resolution through agreement is not always possible. When litigation
to a conclusion is required, we are well-qualified to achieve good
results at trial. We have extensive trial experience and are not
afraid to seek resolution of a case through trial when necessary.
Our extensive trial experience sets us apart from many defense
firms, and we can offer the institutional and ‘local’ knowledge of
the Montana State and Federal courts, based on life-long residency
and many years of local practice.
