Butte, MT law firm Silverman Law Office, PLLC has welcomed three law students to work as 2026 summer associates, with two based in the Helena office and one in Bozeman.
Wyatt Johnson and Haylee Reyes joined the Helena office. Both are rising second-year students at Gonzaga University School of Law.
Johnson, a Helena High School graduate, earned his undergraduate degree in American Studies from Brigham Young University. In his first year at Gonzaga, he earned the Best Oralist award and the Clarke Award as part of the top first-year team in a school-wide oral argument competition, presenting before a panel of state supreme court justices in the championship round. His competitive success has pointed him toward a career in litigation.
Reyes is a Texas native who earned her bachelor’s degree in accounting from Baylor University, graduating on the Dean’s List. Before law school, she worked in business tax services at KPMG and in audit at Armanino. At Gonzaga, she is active in the Criminal Law Society, the Women’s Law Caucus and the Business Law Club. Her interests include transactional law, tax, real estate and venture capital.
Wyatt Medina returns for his second summer with the firm, this year in the Bozeman office after spending last summer in Helena. A rising third-year student at the University of Montana’s Alexander Blewett III School of Law, Medina holds an undergraduate degree in Plant and Soil Science from Oklahoma State University and worked in ecological monitoring and precision agriculture before pursuing a career in estate planning and transactional law.
“We’re excited to have these three outstanding law students with us this summer,” said Chief Operations Officer Mark Shutey. “They each bring strong academic records and diverse backgrounds, and we look forward to the perspective they’ll bring to our team.”
