About Ariel Overstreet-Adkins
Hi. I’m Ariel Overstreet-Adkins. I became a Personal Family Lawyer because after being a litigator involved in contentious contested probate matters, I knew there had to be a better way to keep people’s loved ones out of court and out of conflict through better planning.
I’m passionate about helping Montana families, farmers and ranchers, and business owners navigate the maze of legal and financial decisions you face, focusing first on getting your estate plan in place.
Whether you are married or single, a traditional family or a blended one, starting out or looking back on a life well-lived, I will help you to design a plan that achieves your goals for your loved ones today and for years to come.
I graduated from the University of Montana School of Law in 2016. I clerked for U.S. District Court Judge Brian Morris and then started my career at the Moulton Bellingham law firm in Billings. I took the leap into building my own practice, Bluebird Law, in 2020 just before the pandemic began and while I was pregnant with my daughter. It has been an incredible adventure so far!
I enjoy being active in my community as a member of the Board of Governors for Leadership Montana and the Board of Directors for the Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame & Western Heritage Center. I am also a member of the Montana Bar Association’s Business, Estates, Trusts, and Real Estate section, the Billings Chamber of Commerce, the Montana Stockgrowers Association, and the Montana Farm Bureau.
Most importantly, I am mom to Elianna and two corgis, Finn and Poe.
Testimonials
My husband and I worked with Ariel and her team to develop a solid estate plan for our family, and we were very impressed by the professionalism, accessibility, and thoroughness of the entire process with Bluebird Law. Having experienced a messy estate in the past, I'm grateful knowing that my loved ones will have a clear, straightforward process and plan to follow when the time comes.- Kelly Cresswell
Ariel and Staff are very professional and knowledgeable regarding law in general and in my case, all matters associated with probate. They got things done efficiently and accurately and kept me informed about the process and anticipated outcomes all of the time: impeccable communication on their part! They used my time and funds judicially and were always respectful as well as accountable. In Sum: Knowledgeable, Great Work Ethic, Exceptional Communication, Respectful and Accountable! - Gary D.
My grandfather had passed away and we were using a local family attorney that ended up not working out. I explained our situation to Ariel and within 3 weeks she was able to do what our family attorney couldn’t do in 3 months. She was so professional and sensitive to our family’s needs and will we will always use her firm for our legal needs. We ended using Bluebirds services for removing/adding members to a family cabin, creating and LLC and an operating agreement. Bluebird law is one of the best firms in Billings and I would highly recommend them to anyone.- Eric Lowe
Ariel made our estate planning, will preparation, and family trust virtually seamless! Together, they provided us with amazing service, a high level of confidence with the preparations, knowledgeable information and explanation as to what we were doing step by step, and kindness that was above and beyond! We would recommend Ariel at bluebird Law to anyone seeking guidance in the estate planning process! Thank you both, Scot and I are very pleased...and also glad we are done and have everything in order. As a funeral director, I will be recommending Ariel to my client families needing support!- Shawnee Krauszer

What makes PFL lawyers different?
-
How you hire us.
We begin with a comprehensive inventory of everything you own, and everyone you love, and consider it all in a working meeting, called a Family Wealth Planning Session, to guide you to clarify your financial life and legacy goals before we draft a single document.
-
How we plan.
We work with you throughout every life stage to map out the most likely scenarios for you and the people you love, planning for each as your life, the law, and your assets change over time.
-
What we protect.
Our Life & Legacy Planning process ensures everything that matters most -- from your financial assets to your values, insights, stories and experience -- are captured and documented during your life and cared for over the generations to come.
-
What you see.
Transparency in our process, and our fees … all of which are flat fees, agreed to in advance, based on your choices and with no surprises, ensuring we stay on the same side of the table - supporting you to make a lifetime of great decisions - every step of the way.
-
How we deliver.
Our systems help you get clear and organized, overcoming the exact issues that keep most estate plans from actually working when they are needed most. We help you leave your family with a gift of love, and not a mess.
-
How our plans work.
One-and-done estate plans focused only on money are a recipe for a big mess. We help you throughout every stage of life and be there for the people you love, when you can’t be.
