Breean Walas is a trial lawyer with a passion for justice and protecting the constitutional rights of all persons. While she primarily serves as a behind-the-scenes brief writer for other trial lawyers, she isn’t afraid to step into the courtroom to try the case. Breean recently tried the first post-Covid civil trial in the District of Montana, Butte Division courthouse. During that trial, she learned effective ways to try a lawsuit while maintaining the social distancing necessary to protect jurors, witnesses, litigants, lawyers, and the courtroom staff from potential exposure to Covid-19.

It also provided an opportunity to see how technology and the use of alternative rooms for sidebars should continue to be used as we move forward in trying cases. Breean started Walas Law Firm in 2014, and maintains an office in North Little Rock, Arkansas and Bozeman, Montana. More information regarding her trial experience and practice is available at www.walaslawfirm.com. Breean is the incoming Vice President for the Arkansas Trial Lawyers Association, and is active in the American Association for Justice serving on the amicus committee and as a member of the LGBT and Women’s Caucuses. Outside of the courtroom, Breean enjoys fly fishing, hiking with her wife and German Shepherd, and exploring our National Parks.
