We publish our prices. Most Montana firms quote by the hour after a consultation, so you find out what a matter costs once you are already in it. Every package on this site lists what is included, what is not, and what it costs. Katie has spent more than 15 years in Montana family law, including matters involving parental alienation, child development, and coercive control.

Call or text (406) 546-4273, email admin@elementlawgroup.com, or use the form on our contact page. We aim to respond the same business day. Mail goes to PO Box 143, Manhattan, MT 59741. We work with clients across Montana, not only the Gallatin Valley.

Flat fees, published up front. Every package on this site shows its price, exactly what is included, and what is billed separately, which is usually court filing fees and any required publication cost. You pay the listed price for the listed work. Contested and unusually complex matters are quoted separately after a consultation, and we tell you that before you buy anything.

Collaborative, honest, and straightforward. We explain what the law actually requires, what your realistic options are, and what each one costs. Most flat-fee work starts with an online questionnaire you complete on your own time, so you are not paying for a meeting just to hand over basic facts.
