Divisions

The Criminal Division

The Criminal Division of Montana’s United States Attorney’s office is made up of Assistant United States Attorneys in the Billings, Great Falls, Helena, and Missoula offices.

The Civil Division

The Civil Division for the District of Montana litigates all manner of civil lawsuits involving the United States as a party. In broad terms, these lawsuits are divided into defensive and affirmative cases, but upon closer inspection, we handle many different kinds of lawsuits. We defend torts, federal employment discrimination claims, and medical malpractice claims based on treatment at federal medical facilities.
