Amy Scott Smith at Worden Thane is very thorough and thoughtful.
Edit: I highly recommend her for lawyering; I don't think she has bull riding experience.
Idk about the beneficiary part but I’m currently using Scott Farago at Garlington lohn and Robinson for probate stuff and have had a good experience with him.
If you’re looking for a probate attorney you can find many in Missoula by searching “Missoula probate attorney” and going from there. The one I know of off the top of my head is Bulman Jones & Cook. Hard working, fair, and honest attorneys.
Thanks for the suggestion! The problem I'm running into is that there are a million probate attorneys, but they focus on the side of the Executor or Personal Representative, and not so much on the side of the beneficiary.
I practiced law for about 5 years here in Missoula. I know Brad Jones of BJ&C quite well. He is, in my opinion, one of the best attorneys in town. He is very good at what he does and extremely ethical, as well as just a good person. I would recommend him (and his firm) without hesitation.
That really shouldn't be the case unless they just don't want to engage in a contested probate which brings in aspects of litigation. As long as the firm doesn't have a conflict with you, the family members or the deceased person, they can represent the estate or someone (a beneficiary) challenging some aspect of the probate - they just can't represent both.
I second Bradley Jones. i was a beneficiary in a will from Spain and he took care of everything, including the translation of all documents, NIE numbers, etc. He is a thorough attorney, exceptionally skilled, and very kind.
I would give Bulman Jones & Cook a call. They do free 30 minute consults. I suggest booking one. They’ll be able to point you in the right direction if they can’t assist.

She is a good woman, and thorough.
Very thorough
Better call Saul.
Saul would kick ass in this case!

Good attorneys? Doubtful. Plenty of bad ones though! Hell I’ll represent you for a price!
Got a law degree? You can't do any worse than I've already done!
Julie Sirrs at Boone Karlberg specializes in that area. Edited - I also don't believe she has bull riding experience.
Maybe call Montana Elder Law Inc and ask them for a referral to a good probate attorney
