Relationship: Worked for lawyer
Joseph Montgomery is an elite lawyer, particularly in the field of education law. He has a deep understanding of all facets of the law relating to education, and his experience working in the DA's Office shines through in court and at hearing. But, while many lawyers, like Joe, are incredibly knowledgeable and display excellence in court - what makes Joe stand out is his passion and care, which he devotes to every client that comes through his doors. All combined, these factors are what garners him a place amongst Pennsylvania's list of Super Lawyers - year in and year out.
