Client Comments

  • I found Dave McLean to be extremely capable in litigation/insurance defense in the health care arena. He took the time to listen, learn, and assess my organization before proceeding, and then he provided excellent counsel. He was straight-forward and objective, and I developed a high level of trust through our working relationship. I highly recommend Mr. McLean.

  • Dave has provided St. Peter's Hospital with superior legal insight, wisdom, and learning. Dave's client relation is beyond the norm. He is always, without questions accessible (even on weekends, late evenings, vacation, or at conferences). His timely response is next to none. I have worked with many Lawyers abroad and in 20 plus states within the US. Dave is without question one of the lawyers that stands above most. Dave is also highly effective when dealing with all aspects of employment law. His communication and listening skills are excellent. He is concise and factual. I am not sure you can find an attorney in Montana with better values, skills, personality, or qualities.

  • St. Peter's Hospital has been very fortunate to have developed a working relationship with Dave McLean to assist our organization with employment law. Dave never "pulls punches" when dealing with issues presented to him. Clients always know where they stand from a personal and professional standpoint when working with Dave. He has the capability of assessing the risk to the organization and presenting a different perspective to issues that are presented to him. Dave also ensures his clients understand his thought process behind the guidance he provides with a sense of trust, trust he instantly gains with his client relationships.
