Jeff Ellingson has been in law practice in his Kalispell, Montana hometown since his graduation from Stanford Law School in 1980. Since 1987 he has been primarily engaged in trial practice in state and federal courts, including personal injury, wrongful death, products liability, insurance, business claims, and class action claims. He has achieved a Martindale-Hubbell lawyer rating of “AV” (highest legal ability and ethical standards). Jeff and Joe Bottomly merged their successful trial practices in 2003, adding Amy Eddy as a partner in the firm in 2007.
In addition to his wide-ranging legal knowledge and experience, Jeff has a keen interest in the science, art, and technology of trial practice. He and his partners regularly employ panels of “mock juries” to most effectively prepare and present clients’ cases to judges, arbitrators, mediators, and juries. Jeff has also served as a plaintiff’s class action settlement negotiator, and as a third party mediator in complex litigation.
Jeff maintains a love of the mountains inspired during six college and law school years when he was a seasonal backcountry ranger in Glacier National Park. Jeff and his wife Karen and their two children base their outdoor fun out of Karen’s grandfather’s 1920’s homestead near West Glacier, Montana, in the summertime. Jeff is also an unabashed computer geek and science and technology buff—from physics to medicine and microbiology, he loves to learn how the universe works.
