About
First off, in the spirit of full disclosure, I confess that I am not a native Montanan – I’m an Oregon transplant. (When football season rolls around, I don’t argue Griz or Cats – I just sit back and remind everyone I’m a Duck… or at least, I used to. Then, Marcus Mariota graduated... but, I digress.)I am the only child of a single working mom. I was born in San Francisco, and we moved to the Willamette Valley in Oregon when I was about 9 years old. I grew up out in the country where ageing hippies (including some of the original Merry Pranksters) live beside old school farmers and ranchers. From both, I learned lessons about self-sufficiency that I still rely on today. After high school, I moved to Washington and married a man in the Air Force. When he got orders for Okinawa, Japan, I wasn’t sure I would like it – four years later, I didn’t want to leave. I was always horse crazy, but we couldn’t afford one when I was growing up – I’ve been making up for that ever since. Today, I have two slightly lunatic retirees and a ginormous warmblood named Steve. Don’t ask about him unless you’re prepared to look at pictures – I’m ridiculously fond of him.I have a variety of other animals – all strays or adoptees. My Lincoln – who came out of a box of free puppies at Safeway – often comes to the office with me because legal research is a lot more fun when there’s a big old head lying across your feet.

I can't say enough about her knowledge and genuine concern for me. I was overwhelmed and stressed out by the law process with patience and understanding she took care of me. This is a lawyer that stands by her word and genuinely wants to make a difference not just a dollar.
I had been negotiating a real estate transaction without the use of an attorney, and was getting a bit uneasy because the developers I was selling to had an attorney as well as a few other professionals doing their negotiations. I asked Ms. Cole-Hodgkinson for assistance in reviewing the contract, and couldn't have made a better choice. Not only was she easy to communicate with; she found a few minor issues with the contract, and more importantly, pointed out some potential issues with the overall negotiations which were much more valuable to catch than the standard legal review I had enlisted her for. Overall I'm much happier with the outcome, and much less worried about issues due to having hired her.
Jessica worked on a complicated family matter for us. We appreciated her patience and the thorough research she did to clear up our conflicts. As a result we were able to resolve things privately without going to court.
