About Judge Wilson

Judge Wilson is running for Flathead County District Court, Department 2. He hopes to occupy the position currently held by retiring District Judge Katherine R. Curtris.

Here is a bit of Judge Wilson's background. His parents grew up in Malta, Montana, and he was born in Billings in 1964.

He opened his own law practice in 1998 in Kalispell and was a partner in the law firm of Measure & Wilson, P.C. at the time of his election in 2010 as Flathead County Justice of the Peace, Department 1.

In the Justice Court, Judge Wilson has demonstrated his initiative and work ethic by clearing up an existing backlog of cases within his first 10 months on the bench and by streamlining the process of scheduling trials. And he has strived to apply the law fairly and appropriately in each case that comes before him.
