A formidable advocate who guided us through a complex liability case

Our company faced a serious product liability lawsuit that threatened our reputation and financial stability. From the initial consultation, Jill Gerdrum of Hall & Evans demonstrated a masterful command of the intricate legal and technical details involved. Her 19 years of focused civil litigation experience, particularly in product liability and insurance defense, were immediately evident. Jill meticulously deconstructed the plaintiff's claims, coordinating with experts to build an unassailable defense strategy. Her recognition in fields like commercial litigation wasn't just an accolade on paper; it translated into razor-sharp courtroom tactics and negotiation skills. Throughout the stressful process, she maintained clear, steady communication, explaining each step without condescension. Jill’s preparation was exhaustive, and her professionalism under pressure was remarkable. The result was a dismissal of the key claims, followed by a highly favorable settlement that protected our business. In the challenging legal landscape of Montana, having Jill’s deep local knowledge and her firm’s resources was invaluable. She is not just a brilliant litigator but a strategic partner we trust implicitly.
