Meyer, Shaffer & Stepans, PLLP gives you the kind of legal and financial guidance that catches what others overlook — so you can move forward with confidence instead of guesswork.
Wills, trusts, and advance directives crafted to protect your family's future the way you intend — not the way the state assumes you want.
From formation to dispute resolution, we help Montana businesses operate with legal clarity and protect their interests at every stage.
Proactive tax planning that identifies savings opportunities before they disappear — and protects you when the IRS comes knocking.
Long-term financial strategies tailored to your goals — retirement, wealth preservation, and intergenerational transfer done right.
Clear titles, clean closings, and contracts that actually protect you — whether you're buying, selling, or developing property in western Montana.
Whether you're handing a business to the next generation or preparing for your own exit, we build transition plans that keep your legacy intact.
Meyer, Shaffer & Stepans, PLLP was founded on a simple principle: clients in Missoula and surrounding communities deserve legal and financial counsel that is thorough, straightforward, and genuinely attentive to their individual circumstances.
We handle estate planning, business law, tax strategy, financial planning, real estate law, and succession planning — but we don't treat any of these as assembly-line services. Every matter starts with a conversation about what you're actually trying to accomplish, and every recommendation is built around your specific goals, timeline, and risk tolerance.
Our team brings decades of combined experience across Montana's legal and financial landscape. We've guided families through complex estate matters, helped local businesses navigate regulatory challenges, and structured tax strategies that save clients real money — not theoretical savings.
We don't rush into solutions. We start by understanding your situation — then we build from there.
We begin with a focused conversation — in person at our Missoula office or by phone — to understand your goals, concerns, and the specific legal or financial questions you need answered.
Our team reviews your documents, financial records, and any relevant circumstances. We identify risks, opportunities, and gaps that aren't obvious on the surface — the things that matter most.
We develop a tailored plan with clear options, explained in plain language. You'll understand what we recommend, why, and what each path means for your timeline and outcomes.
We handle the paperwork, filings, and execution — and we remain available for questions, updates, and adjustments as your circumstances change over time.
