What COK KINZLER PLLP does

Cok Kinzler PLLP is a personal injury law firm headquartered at 35 North Bozeman Avenue in Bozeman, Montana, operating as a Professional Limited Liability Partnership under Montana law. The firm was founded in its current form in 2002 by Michael D. Cok, with Travis W. Kinzler joining as a named partner in 2002 and Jonathan M. Cok joining in 2006; the predecessor firm, Cok and Wheat, dates to 1981. Cok Kinzler represents individuals across Montana who have suffered physical, mental, or financial harm caused by third parties, with practice areas spanning car and motorcycle accidents, commercial trucking, environmental contamination, gas and propane incidents, insurance disputes and bad faith, medical malpractice, product liability, worksite and oil field injuries, and wrongful death claims.

The firm operates on a contingency fee basis, typically retaining 30-40% of recovered amounts and only receiving payment if the client wins, with case-specific costs (medical records, expert witnesses, filing fees) deducted from the final settlement. There is no proprietary technology platform; service delivery is grounded in legal expertise, investigation, negotiation with insurers and corporate defendants, and courtroom litigation. Marketing and client acquisition run through the firm website, an educational blog, and free initial consultations delivered by phone (406-587-4445) or contact form. Customer outcomes disclosed include over $100 million in cumulative verdicts and settlements, with multiple individual recoveries ranging from $2.2 million to $22 million.

The firm is privately held by its three named partners with no parent company, no external institutional investors, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed funding rounds. Headcount is stated at 1-10, and operations are concentrated within a single Montana geography.
