Melissa Rae Montgomery

As a mother of 4 I used her to get full custody back in 2013 and did not have an issue. As of January 2017 my oldest daughter and an old school friend tried to kill me I ended up in the hospital as a result 3 of the kids bio dad as my younger son is not his filed for emergency custody the judge gave ...my younger 3 back and didn't he go and file again as this man is a felon has drug charges is a drug addict/dealer and his girlfriend is a drunk who verbally attacks my children daily. As I have all the evidence Montgomery refused to give the judge and now my younger 2 children are suicidal hurting themselves and being neglected. Apparently she thinks this is good place for my children and did not help much but could charge me $5,000.00 for services. As I printed out everything needed and got all the evidence and info and it was not given anyway. And when I called to do a notice of appeal I get told it would be another $5,000.00 so I have to do it myself. Now my kids are suffering and no one wants to help them when all the evidence was right there.

Ms. Montgomery was my court appointed lawyer in a criminal case in 2011. When I asked to see the discovery in the case such as search/arrest warrants, the complaint and indictment, etc., she told me that I was not allowed to have them. She also told me that since my case was a federal one, that the o...nly plea I could make was an open plea. She specifically told me that there was no such thing as a plea bargain where terms are prearranged and recommended by the ADA. She allowed me to be charged with a newer version of a law with more severe penalties than the old law that I should have been charged under. Finally, she knowingly recommended that I plead guilty to an offense that a clear reading of plainly shows did not apply to me. This lawyer is an ex district attorney's office employee, and clearly does not represent the best interests of her court appointed clients.
