About the Office:

The mission of the USAO for the District of Montana is to protect and serve the citizens of the District of Montana through the ethical, vigorous, and impartial enforcement of the laws of the United States. In so doing, we defend the national security, improve the safety and quality of life in our communities, and protect the public funds and financial interests of the United States. The U.S. Attorney’s Office seeks to maintain a courteous and professional working environment; an environment in which exceptionalism is the standard and diversity is valued; and where initiative, skill, diligence, commitment, and integrity combine to achieve justice in every matter.

The USAO conducts most federal criminal prosecutions in the State of Montana. We receive criminal referrals from federal investigative agencies, state and local investigative agencies, tribal law enforcement, and, occasionally, from citizens. After careful consideration of each criminal matter, the U.S. Attorney decides the appropriateness of bringing criminal charges and initiates prosecution. The U.S. Attorney’s Office oversees the investigation of and prosecutes a wide range of criminal activities. It’s workload is diverse and far reaching. The caseload includes violent crime, complex financial fraud, computer fraud, environmental crime, public corruption, organized crime, complex drug and money laundering activities, child pornography, and cases involving multiple defendants and criminal enterprises.

Our work in the civil arena includes the initiation of civil actions – affirmative litigation to assert and protect the interests of the United States. We also defend the government in lawsuits filed against the United States. Finally, our office handles other civil cases when the United States is a third party plaintiff or defendant, a creditor, or an intervenor.

As the federal agency whose mission is to ensure the fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans, the Department of Justice is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment. To build and retain a work force that reflects the diverse experiences and perspectives of the American people, we welcome applicants from the many communities, identities, races, ethnicities, backgrounds, abilities, religions, and cultures of the United States who share our commitment to public service.
