Matt Tourtlotte

Partner

In 2014 I gave up a comfortable law firm partnership so I could spend every day representing injured people. More than a decade later, I have never once questioned that decision.

Biography

“The insurance company already has a team working on your claim. You deserve one too.”

I have spent more than two decades investigating, evaluating, and litigating complex personal injury cases across Montana. Early in my career, I worked closely with the insurance companies and corporations that spend enormous sums every year to minimize or deny claims. I saw firsthand how adjusters evaluate a claim, how they investigate it, and the tactics they use to pay injured people far less than they deserve.

In 2014 I resigned my partnership with a historic Montana law firm and struck out on my own, building a practice dedicated exclusively to helping injured people and those wronged by their insurance companies. I have never wavered from that decision, and I am grateful for the hundreds of opportunities I have had since then to achieve impactful, life changing results for my clients. In 2024 I partnered with A.J. Miller to form Miller Tourtlotte Law, PLLC.

My practice takes me into state and federal courtrooms across Montana. I am licensed to practice law in Montana, admitted to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and I have been asked to appear in and handle cases in other jurisdictions through pro hac vice admission. Whether the fight involves a serious automobile accident, a denied workers’ compensation claim, an insurer acting in bad faith, or the wrongful death of a family member, my job is the same: level the playing field against companies that count on injured people giving up.

Strong Ties to the Montana Community

Montana is not just where I practice. It is home.

Throughout my life I have advocated for public access to Montana’s lands and waters, including through my previous service on the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Commission. Protecting high quality access to outdoor recreation across the state matters to me, both as a lawyer and as a Montanan.

Away from the office, I spend my time with my family. The Tourtlotte family is highly engaged in scholastic and club activities throughout Montana and the Western Region, and we believe strongly in showing up for the communities that support us.

Client Testimonials

Tom Yetzer

“I researched attorneys and found Miller Tourtlotte Law and worked with Matt Tourtlotte. Matt did an outstanding job with my car accident case. He was professional and patient with me and fought hard to get me a great outcome. Highly recommend!”

Shannon Taylor

“I cant begin to express my gratitude for all the assistance Matt and his staff gave me during my workers comp case. I had a fractured knee, on crutches and in alot of pain. The last thing I wanted to do was worry about medical bills and deal with the insurance company. When Matt took my case, I had not received a check in over 3 months. Matt was not only able to get my check but he also got me the back pay for the 3 months within a week, plus all the outstanding medical bills were paid immediately.”

Lizzie Thompson

“I was involved in an accident (no fault of my own) that totaled my car and left me with a significant hand injury and scarring. Matt has been so helpful, knowledgeable, communicative, and kind through out this process. I am so thankful I don’t have to deal with insurance companies on my own.”

Every case is different, and results vary. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
