Absolutely terrible representation

Mr. Montgomery has not once contacted his client (my boyfriend). He filed a motion without any communication or even meeting him one time and the motion he filed is sure to do more damage than good. As a public defender, this is unacceptable and he should be removed from his position as lead public d...efender because he does not set the bar high enough to have lives trusted in his hands or to lead others. An innocent man is trapped and I don't believe for a second that he has done due diligence and we cannot afford a competent lawyer in our area.

The BEST public defender you can get through the state

When I first met my public defender I was very nervous. I was worried that they wouldn't have my best interest at heart. Mainly because of being African Amercian, and not having the funds for the attorney. MR. Russell Montgomery restored my faith in the legal system and humanity. He was soooo und...erstanding and so kind. He faught for me. I didn't feel neglected, I was kept up on the things I needed to know. My hearing turned out way better than I expected. He received the biggest hug from me at my arraignment. He deserved it. I would recommend him to anyone and I personally would love to have him as my attorney for any legal matter.
