About
Trevor Carlson is the attorney behind Carlson Law, PLLC in Great Falls, Montana. Criminal defense is the foundation of his practice, and his work also includes family law, civil litigation, landlord-tenant matters, personal injury, employment issues, and other problems faced by individuals in Central Montana and the Hi-Line. He represents clients through disputes that can affect liberty, family relationships, housing, employment, and financial stability, with a strong emphasis on courtroom advocacy.
Trevor graduated with honors from the University of Montana law school in 2013 and served on the Montana Law Review. His interest in criminal law began before graduation. Working under the student practice rule, he took four cases to jury trial while still in law school. That early courtroom experience provided practical training in trial preparation, witness examination, evidence, and advocacy before he began full-time practice in Montana.
Trevor has practiced law in Central Montana since 2013 and founded Carlson Law in 2016. His solo practice has included criminal defense, family law, landlord-tenant law, and civil litigation in multiple counties. Criminal law remains the central practice area of Carlson Law. His experience representing clients across different types of disputes allows him to address cases that combine immediate courtroom needs with longer-term concerns about family, property, employment, or related civil issues.
Trevor Carlson brings more than a decade of Montana practice to criminal and civil matters in Great Falls and surrounding communities. His work is grounded in trial experience that began in law school and continued through a broad solo practice. He focuses on helping clients understand the legal process, prepare for hearings or trials, and make practical decisions when a dispute is stressful or urgent. Criminal defense remains the core of a practice that extends into several connected civil areas.
