The Firm

Construction defect litigation. Montana and Texas.

Meyer | Shumrick is a civil and commercial litigation firm built around construction disputes. Founded by two litigation attorneys — Jean Meyer and Michael Shumrick — the firm concentrates on three things: construction defects, commercial disputes between property owners and contractors, and the business conflicts that grow out of both.

Two states, one practice

Montana is home ground. From our Bozeman office we represent homeowners, HOAs, and property owners across the state — Bozeman, Big Sky, Billings, Missoula, Great Falls, Whitefish — in defect and contract disputes shaped by Montana's soils, weather, and construction standards.

Texas is the second chapter. Our Dallas office is open, extending the practice into Texas, where defect and lien law is its own body of statute and precedent — and where property owners face the same fights under different rules.

How we work

Counsel here is personal. We take the time to understand what you actually need out of a dispute, and we look for reasonable resolutions without litigation whenever possible — most construction disputes should end at a negotiating table, not a verdict.

When litigation is necessary, it is not a bluff. This is a litigation firm: matters are prepared to be tried, and that preparation is usually what produces the settlement.
