Abigail Coburn is a partner at Ryan, Miller & Coburn in Missoula, Montana, where Coburn focuses on criminal defense, including DUI, appellate, domestic-violence, and white-collar matters. The practice includes serious criminal cases in Montana state and federal courts. Coburn works on matters that require careful review of the facts, governing law, and the client’s practical objectives.

The training also supports careful review of rules, records, documents, and options within the lawyer’s current practice.

Coburn has experience with working for a local criminal-defense firm before opening her own boutique practice in 2019 and later partnering with Ryan and Miller. Her practice includes trial and appellate work and representation in Montana state court, federal court, and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. This experience supports organized matter development and preparation for negotiation, transactions, administrative proceedings, trial, or appeal when required.

The combination of education, prior roles, and current practice supports careful legal judgment and disciplined client service.
