Tanis Holm has been a dedicated advocate in civil litigation for 17 years, serving injury victims throughout Montana from her Billings personal injury law firm. After earning an honors degree from Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana, Tanis received her J.D. from the University of Montana School of Law in 2007 and has since established herself as a trusted Montana accident lawyer and wrongful death attorney.
Her extensive legal career includes valuable experience formerly representing insurance companies and corporations, knowledge she now leverages to passionately advocate for individuals who have suffered personal injuries, car accident injuries, and financial damages. Tanis has developed specialized expertise in Montana motor vehicle accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle collisions, medical malpractice, wrongful death claims, sexual abuse cases, and financial and banking malpractice. She offers free consultations and works on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients pay no fees unless she wins their case.
As an established litigator with nearly two decades of courtroom experience, Tanis brings both technical expertise and a distinctive perspective to every case she handles. Her comprehensive understanding of how opposing counsel operates provides her clients with a strategic advantage in pursuing just compensation. Known for her compassionate approach to client relationships, she understands that behind every case is a person facing one of life's most challenging moments.
Deeply committed to community involvement, Tanis has served on numerous local boards and dedicates significant time to pro bono work focused on constitutional rights. She believes that protecting fundamental liberties strengthens both individual lives and the fabric of society as a whole.
Outside of her legal practice and community service, Tanis finds balance in Montana's natural beauty. Her appreciation for the state's outdoor opportunities, sporting events, and diverse landscapes reflects her deep connection to the community she proudly serves.
