Freedom Won
We hired the Montell Figgins Law Firm after our son had been incarcerated for months on charges of violating a restraining order. The firm, which took over for another lawyer, was able to successfully work with the prosecutor and judge to achieve a “time served” sentence that resulted in our son being freed without having to do any additional jail time. If you are looking for a lawyer that genuinely cares about the well-being of the client and will fight for the outcome you want to achieve, Montell Figgins is the law firm for you. We always felt supported and any questions we had were immediately addressed. The professionalism and passionate advocacy of Montell Figgins Law is what any client should desire. We would highly recommend this lawyer to anyone.

Montell Figgins saved me from the tenant from hell. He would not pay rent, would not leave, and demanded ridiculous repairs. Montell Figgins got me back over $6,000 in rents and stopped the ridiculous requests for repairs.

Mirlande..Home Owner and LandLord
I hired Montell Figgins based on our phone conversation. I was looking for an attorney to represent me for a landlord, tenant issue. I found Mr. Figgins on AAvo.com, which is a lawyer directory. He had good ratings and I decided to give him a call and explain my situation. I knew, after our phone conversation that I wanted his firm to represent me. Sterling, one of his colleagues is the attorney that handled my case..I am very happy with the results and will seek legal counsel from their office in the future.

Kenneth Brown saved my daughter!
We were referred to Montell Figgins by a friend of a friend. From our first contact with his staff, they proved to be very smart,
kind and compassionate people. We were assigned to Kenneth Brown. Mr. Brown worked tirelessly representing her. He was a strong advocate on my daughter's behalf with the prosecutors. He stopped at nothing until he could get a prosecutor to see things our way. He beat the charges and got her record expunged. She had never been in trouble with the law before, thanks to Kenneth Brown, it's as if she had never been arrested at all. He's the best!

Prevailed over prosecutor!!!
Ken Brown of the Law Offices of Montell Figgins successfully fought to turn an aggravated assault to community service of 5 days. Mr. Brown went above and beyond to work with different prosecutors to downgrade my charges and make sure my case was dismissed and my record was clean. I was bullied on a subway, tried to defend myself, and was almost punished. Without the help of Mr. Brown I could’ve been facing months in jail or a huge fine. I am very grateful and would recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance.

#KNOWLEDGEISSUPERPOWER
It is with great pleasure that I acknowledge the SUPERPOWER of the MONTELL FIGGINS Law Offices. My son faced an unbelievable amount of time for a crime that he did not commit, but found himself caught up in the world wind of being charged with the alleged incident.
I contacted Montell Figgins Law Firm and after meeting with Mr. Figgins and his associate, Kenneth Brown, I was sure they would fight to maintain my son's innocence. They LISTENED!!!!

Very pleased with their service
I was represented by Associate Sterling Santamaria on a CDS charge. He was able to get me into conditional dismissal of my charges and it only took two appearances. I will certainly use this firm again should I find myself again in the same situation.

Quick Traffic Ticket Resolution
A month ago I received a red light ticket in the mail and I knew it wasn’t my fault as I turned on a right lane that allowed vehicles to turn to the right during a res light. I contacted the offices of Montell Figgins and I was able to work with an attorney named Sterling Santamaria. He was diligent and was able to get my ticket dismissed. As a result, I will come back as a customer if I’m ever in another situation where I need reputable representation. Thank you again for you help, Sterling.

Highly Recommended
We hired the Law Offices of Montell Figgins to save our home from foreclosure. We decided to sign up with this office because the price was affordable and we felt we could trust them to handle this case for us after meeting with the lawyers in person. This office worked to stop the foreclosure and to negotiate with the bank to get us a loan modification to prevent the bank from selling our home. Every time we called, someone was always available to speak to us about our case and provide an update. Scott from the office was almost always available to take our calls and answer any questions that we had. Within months, we signed a loan modification with the bank and the foreclosure against us was dismissed. We would hire this firm again.

Mr. Figgins helped save our home!
The lawyers at the Law Offices of Montell Figgins were very helpful. My family did not know what to do when faced with foreclosure. Once we met with Mr. Figgins and one of his other lawyers, they answered all of our questions and made us feel comfortable with choosing his law firm to represent us. They successfully challenged the banks and we were able to keep our home.
