Shenandoah R. Roath

A Bit About Shena

In 2026, Shenandoah founded Cornerstone Law Group, seeking to help clients through difficult family law and criminal issues. Shenandoah goes by Shena (rhymes with Jenna, not Gina!) She represents clients in custody disputes, divorces, adoptions, and criminal charges. Outside the office, Shena enjoys exploring Montana’s ski hills, rivers, and public lands with her golden doodle, Beans, thinking about how to get the best possible outcomes for her clients.

​

Shena grew up primarily in Bloomington, Indiana, where she developed a lifelong love of college basketball. With deep family roots in northwest Montana spanning four generations, she relocated to the state in 2007. She began her legal career in 2015 at a small Livingston firm, practicing general civil litigation and criminal defense, and later moved to Helena to join the Office of the State Public Defender, where she gained extensive trial and courtroom experience.​

​

In 2019, Shena launched a solo criminal defense practice before joining the Federal Defenders of Montana in 2022 as a court-appointed criminal defense attorney in federal court. She joined Judnich Law Office in Bozeman in 2024, switching her focus from criminal defense to family law, before founding Cornerstone Law Group in 2026.
