A: To find a Montana attorney experienced in civil actions against the federal government following the exhaustion of a tort claim, consider the following steps:

1. The State Bar of Montana operates a Lawyer Referral Service which can assist in connecting you with a suitable attorney.

2. Legal directories, such as Justia (this website), Martindale-Hubbell or Avvo, provide listings of attorneys by practice area and often include client and peer reviews.

3. Recommendations can be sought from other attorneys, colleagues, or acquaintances familiar with Montana legal professionals.

4. Contact local or state legal associations that may have a focus on civil rights or government litigation.

5. University law schools in Montana might offer clinics or have professors who can provide referrals.

6. Research Montana court records for attorneys who have previously filed similar suits against the federal government.

7. Schedule consultations with potential attorneys to assess their experience and suitability for your case.

8. Ensure any attorney you consider is in good standing with the State Bar of Montana and has no disciplinary actions against them.
