Innovative Leadership
After her clerkship ended in D.C., Audrey returned home to serve the public as a public defender, representing Montanans charged with crimes who could not afford lawyers. It was then that she experienced the cyclical patterns found in many crimes and began to identify the powerful tools of drug court, mental health programs, and re-entry support that went beyond incarceration to break destructive cycles within offenders’ lives.
Twelve years ago, Audrey deepened her commitment to Gallatin by starting her own law firm, growing her business to include 5 attorneys with cases in criminal defense, divorce, child custody, child abuse and neglect, business law, and immigration. Her skill in leading teams in innovative ways led to Cromwell Law named by the community as Gallatin’s Greatest law firm in 2021.
