Client Services
How I can help
Legal problems come in all shapes and sizes. Whether you are hurt in a wreck, hurt at work, slip and fall, bitten by a dog, or need support for your domestic relations matters such as divorce and custody, I can manage your case.
Personal Injury
When you're hurt because of someone else's negligence, life can change in an instant. As a former trauma and emergency nurse, I understand the full impact of your injuries and stand up to insurers who try to minimize them. No upfront costs, with a clear contingency fee agreement.
Workers' Compensation
A work injury can bring pain, lost income, and an insurance system that feels confusing or even adversarial. I help injured workers protect their claims and pursue the medical care and wage benefits Montana law provides, on a contingency basis with nothing out of pocket.
Family Law
Whether you're facing a divorce, a parenting dispute, or a needed change to an existing order, I'll listen, explain your options plainly, and advocate for you and your children. Full and limited scope representation, affordable consults for first-time clients, and guardian ad litem and parenting coordinator services are available.
About the Attorney
Travis Shimanek
I bring a unique blend of medical and legal experience to every case I handle. Before becoming an attorney, I spent years working as a trauma and emergency nurse after graduating from nursing school in 2012. That background gives me an uncommon advantage in personal injury and workers’ compensation cases—I understand medical records, treatment plans, and injury mechanisms at a level most attorneys simply don’t.
In 2019, I transitioned into the legal field and went on to graduate early from the University of New Mexico School of Law in 2021. I passed the bar exam just a few weeks after the birth of my third child—a testament to my work ethic and commitment. Since then, I’ve dedicated my practice to helping people who are facing major disruptions in their lives: serious injuries, complex workers’ compensation issues, and difficult family law situations.
Clients choose to work with me because I take the time to understand their story, explain their options clearly, and fight aggressively to protect their rights. Whether you’re navigating an injury claim, a family law dispute, or another civil matter, my goal is simple: provide strong, compassionate advocacy and guide you toward the best possible outcome.
Outside the office, I’m with my wife and three kids, exploring Montana and the Pacific Northwest and staying connected to the communities I serve.
