Luebeck, Hammar, McCarty & Goldwarg

Where the firm works and who it serves

This is a Bozeman, Montana law firm that takes on a broad mix of civil and criminal work. It serves clients in the Gallatin Valley and across the state. The public listing points to six main practice areas, which is wide for a firm of its size.

Those areas are personal injury and insurance, criminal defense, DUI defense, business law, estate planning and probate, and family law. A client with more than one legal need may find several of them handled in the same office. In my opinion, that kind of range fits a regional firm serving a single valley and the towns around it.

How the firm came together

The firm was formed in 2024. Its attorneys came from Angel, Coil & Bartlett, an older Bozeman practice. So while the name on the door is new, the people behind it are not new to Montana law.

That distinction matters when you read a listing like this one. A firm founded in 2024 has a short record under its own banner. The lawyers carried their prior experience with them when they made the move. Mark J. Luebeck, for example, was a partner at that earlier firm until February 2024.

For a prospective client, this is worth holding in mind. The firm itself is young. The careers inside it are not. Both facts sit in the public record, and both are fair to weigh.

The range of legal work

Injury and insurance

The personal injury side handles automobile and motorcycle accidents, slip and fall claims, traumatic brain injuries, and wrongful death. Insurance matters sit next to this work. These are cases that often turn on medical records and on how an insurer behaves after a claim is filed.

Criminal and DUI defense

On the defense side, the firm takes both state and federal charges. The listed work includes alcohol-related offenses, assault, drug offenses, and property crimes. DUI defense is set out as its own area rather than folded into general criminal work, which reads as steady demand for it in the region.

Civil and family matters

Business law, estate planning and probate, and family law round out the practice. The probate work covers administration, litigation, and will contests. Family law here includes custody, child support, paternity, adoption, prenuptial and marital agreements, and restraining orders. Landlord and tenant disputes also appear among the matters the firm handles.

How the team is built

The site names five attorneys: Mark J. Luebeck, Timothy P. Hammar, Ryan D. McCarty, Eric Goldwarg, and Madison Cisiewski. Three of them have public detail about their focus. The other two are named without a bio at the time of this review.

Mark J. Luebeck is a partner. His work centers on personal injury, insurance law, and criminal defense. He earned a bachelor's degree in Occupational Safety and Health from Montana Tech of The University of Montana, then a law degree from The University of Montana, where he served as an assistant editor-in-chief of the Montana Law Review. He clerked for United States District Court Judge Sam E. Haddon. He also worked as a trial lawyer for the Office of the State Public Defender in Bozeman, which points to courtroom experience on the defense side.

Timothy P. Hammar handles estate planning, probate, personal injury, and landlord-tenant matters. Within probate he takes administration, litigation, and will contests. His injury work runs to car, motorcycle, and truck accidents along with premises liability. That mix places him across both the transactional and the disputed ends of the practice.

Eric K. Goldwarg focuses on family law. His listed work covers adoption, child custody, child support, paternity, prenuptial and marital agreements, and restraining orders. Ryan D. McCarty and Madison Cisiewski are named as attorneys, though the site gives no further detail on their practice yet.

What the listing shows so far

As a reviewer, I read this firm as a young practice built on older experience. The founding date is recent. The clerkship, the law review role, and the public defender background attached to its partner are not. Those two things do not cancel out. They describe a firm that started fresh in 2024 while carrying real time in Montana courtrooms.

The named practice areas give a clear picture of what the office does day to day. Someone in the Gallatin Valley weighing a personal injury claim, a criminal charge, a probate question, or a family matter can see whether their issue falls inside the firm's stated work. The breadth is the strongest signal in the current public record.

There are gaps worth naming. The site does not state a bar admission year for its attorneys. It lists Ryan D. McCarty and Madison Cisiewski without a bio, so their focus is not yet public. It also does not publish case results, and this review does not fill that in. A firm formed in 2024 has had little time to build a documented track record under its own name, and that is a normal state for a practice this new. These are notes on what the record does not yet show, not marks against the work itself.

The firm offers consultations to prospective clients. For a directory built on evidence rather than advertising, the honest summary is straightforward. The people carry established Montana experience, the practice covers a wide set of common legal needs, and the firm's own record is still early. Those points are what the public material supports, and they are enough to help a reader decide whether to make contact.
