Legal Advice

The Madison County Attorney is by law prevented from giving private citizens legal advice on civil matters. If you have questions regarding a civil matter, you should contact a private attorney. The Montana Law Help website and the “Legal Resources” section of the Montana Bar Association website are helpful in understanding private civil matters.
