You may be contacted by the probation officer who is preparing the report. The judge will read the presentence report and will consider it when deciding what sentence to impose. The sentence is strictly at the judge's discretion within the range of penalties provided by law. You may or may not agree with what is imposed. In some cases, the judge might order the defendant to pay restitution to the victim.
Restitution can cover the cost of property, medical costs, etc.
Be sure to keep track of these expenses with receipts, bills and canceled checks. Ask the prosecuting attorney about restitution and if it would be possible in your case. Once convicted, the defendant has the opportunity to appeal to the Montana Supreme Court. The appeal process typically does not involve you as a victim or witness unless the case must be retried. This whole process can take anywhere from 30 days to a year or more.
