Decem 8, 1976 \ br ¢ 4370 n é WU - \ TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Howard M. Gilbert has been in my employ since August 18, 1975. He was specifically hired to participate in an investigation and prosecution relating to fraud and theft in the operation of the State's Workmen's Compensation Division. The subjects of the investigation included administrators and employees within the division, private attorneys representing claimants with alleged industrial injuries, and doctors providing questionable medical reports in support of claims against the division. Mr. Gilbert spearheaded a Grand Jury investigation into these matters which resulted in the return of several indictments against private attorneys and the administrator of the division. Mr. Gilbert has just completed the prosecution of former attorney L. R. Bretz in what is reported to be the longest jury trial in the history of Montana, spanning a period of nearly eight weeks. Bretz was convicted of 18 felony counts involving thefts from clients and the Workmen's Compensation Division. During the period of his employment I observed Mr 2° Gilbert to be cone of the hardest working attorneys I have ever encountered. He was uniformly the first attorney in the office in the morning and worked nights and weekends whenever necessary. I found his briefs and memoranda to be well written and supported by sound legal research and logic. I am most pleased to unreservedly recommend Mr. Gilbert as an outstanding trial attorney and one whose loyality was unswerving in the face of continuous political attacks on the investigation. I feel he would be an excellent addition to any legal staff, and he will always have my warmest appreciation and personal respect both as a lawyer and as a gentleman. torney General RLW:cnl
