About Us
In early 2023, Nate Holloway and Nathan Hulling partnered to found Holloway and Hulling PLLC, Montana Lawyers. Together they brought over 25 years of litigation experience in criminal defense, family law, real estate, and personal injury, along with a broad network in Missoula and its surrounding communities. Both are experienced litigators with high character values and a relentless work ethic, and their shared experience and values made starting a firm together an easy fit.
The firm has since grown to a team of attorneys and staff with more than 50 years of combined legal experience, serving clients from offices in Missoula and Bozeman. Holloway and Hulling represents Montanans in criminal defense, personal injury, and family law matters, with strong advocacy and compassion at the center of every case.
