MOULTON BELLINGHAM

The firm that is now Moulton Bellingham, PC was one of the first law firms established in Montana. Founded at the turn of the century by Judge Charles H. Loud and others, the firm began as a circuit-riding law practice with offices in several Montana cities, including Miles City, Red Lodge and Forsyth. By the early 1920’s, the firm had consolidated in Billings, where it has remained to the present. Our practice extends throughout the state of Montana, and northern Wyoming.
