In the more than two decades that Angela has worked in the legal field, she has managed case loads involving criminal cases, protection orders, civil litigation, landlord/tenant matters, family law, and more.

Her experience working on a variety of cases as well as her drive and determination to learn as much as possible makes her uniquely qualified for this position.  Angela spends much of her time reviewing motions, responses, orders, statutes, case law, Supreme Court decisions, etc. to be as effective as possible in her current role.

A strong desire to make Flathead County safer is at the core of Angela's goals as Justice of the Peace.  Recidivism is a major problem in our community, particularly for DUI offenders. Despite the common belief that harsher laws are needed to institute change, our current laws actually provide for accountability in sentencing criteria that is being underutilized. 

As Justice of the Peace, Angela Ream will work to hold offenders accountable through required treatment, monitoring, and ongoing oversight.  Instead of maintaining the status quo, Angela plans to explore options, such as misdemeanor probation, to achieve maximum accountability and reduce recidivism.
