for District Court Judge

I am running for the position of District Court Judge which will become vacant upon the retirement of the Honorable Kurt Krueger.

I have practiced a wide variety of law in my hometown of Butte for the past 34 years, and I am confident that I possess the skills, legal knowledge, and temperament to represent the citizens of Butte-Silver Bow. I intend to continue the fine judicial administration established by Judges Krueger and Whelan.

I would greatly appreciate each vote in the upcoming November 2024 election.

-Frank J. Joseph, JD

Practicing law in Butte for three decades

During my 34 years of practice in Butte, I have practiced in a wide variety of areas, including but not limited to criminal defense, personal injury, family law, adoptions, real estate, wills, trusts, and estates, administrative law, Social Security and Workers Compensation claims and employment matters. My practice concentrates on representing the working-class people of Butte-Silver Bow.

Having witnessed the impact that a judge can have on peoples’ lives, I aspire to this role with a strong sense of responsibility and service to this community. I am confident that the knowledge and skills amassed throughout my career will allow me to serve our community effectively, fairly, and impartially.

Service and community

Rooted in generations of Butte family traditions emphasizing community service, I've not only practiced law but also actively participated in various professional and civic organizations within the state of Montana:

  • The responsibility of the Butte Public Housing Authority is to provide high quality, well managed, and affordable housing opportunities to the citizens of Butte.

  • The Butte School Board promotes a safe, positive, and modern learning environment for Butte’s children, teachers, and staff.

  • As part of this committee, we help organize and moderate the required continuing education classes and seminars for Montana lawyers and their staff.

  • Chunky Thatcher and I have been coaching ASA girls’ summer softball (12-18 year-olds) since 2012.
