John Doubek

Dedicated to Fighting to Protect the Rights of Every Injury Victim

John Doubek earned his law degree from the University of Montana after attending Carroll College. Early in his legal career, he handled over 80 trials and contested cases for the Montana Consumer Counsel, advocating for the people of Montana against public utilities and railroads. These cases were presented before regulatory bodies such as the Montana Public Service Commission (PSC), the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB), and the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC).

In 1978, John joined the law firm of Small & Hatch and has remained in private practice ever since. Over the years, the firm evolved into various partnerships, ultimately becoming Doubek, Pyfer & Storrar, PLLP in 2018. Since 1981, the firm has exclusively represented plaintiffs, with John focusing on cases involving catastrophic injuries, including those caused by truck and car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace incidents, slips and falls, wrongful death, and traumatic brain injuries.

Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, John moved to Helena, Montana, as a teenager. His dedication to his clients and the legal profession has earned him widespread recognition, including multiple “Best Attorney in Helena” awards from the Helena Independent Record’s Best of Helena publication, most recently in 2021.
