BROWNING, KALECZYC, BERRY & HOVEN, P.C.

Thank you for your interest in Browning, Kaleczyc, Berry & Hoven, P.C. Since its beginnings as a small office with two attorneys in 1982, BKBH has become recognized as a leading law firm for Montana businesses and individuals. We take great pride in providing our clients with premier legal services. Our professional services are directed by our Guiding Principles as we consistently strive to represent our clients the way we would want to be represented ourselves.

A defining trademark of Browning, Kaleczyc, Berry & Hoven, P.C. is our commitment to teamwork. Our firm’s teamwork qualities have been consciously instilled in all of us as part of our culture. It starts as early as during the hiring process. We seek to maintain a “family environment” in our offices. We believe this is the recipe for longevity with our employees.

Further, we use our teamwork structure to provide the best value to our clients. Our goal is to have the work for the client done by the professional who can provide the best value to the client rather than to our law firm.

At BKBH, we build our teamwork culture by hiring and training talented associate attorneys, paralegals and support staff. We want our new attorneys to learn early how much more effective it is for our client to have legal teams that work closely together. Our new attorneys learn to listen more closely to the suggestions and criticisms of their colleagues and their clients. We have educational and mentoring programs in place to ensure we continue to provide quality legal services at affordable rates.
