Monty N Yolles

I only consulted Monty on the phone for my traffic case: he said I would be fine defending myself and that I didn't need him, and he was right. I was unsure because it was my first time in any courtroom. He talked through strategy clearly and I felt confident going in. He then refused to take any payment and I had to insist. It's amazing there are such lawyers around in this day and age. Highly recommend him.

Six months after being involved in an auto accident, I had already been to several doctors and physical therapy and the bills were being paid by the other party's insurance. However, I was inundated with paperwork from several sources (doctors, my health insurance, the insurance covering the accident) and the insurance company kept calling me. I needed an attorney, but didn't know one.

I had interviewed other lawyers who were suboptimal and dismissive, so by the time I got to Monty, I was highly frustrated and distrustful of anything a lawyer had to say. Monty returned my call the evening of the same day I left a message at his office. From the initial phone call, he was professional, courteous, knowledgeable and treated me with respect. In addition, he had a great sense of humor. I was instantly at ease.

I was able to get an initial discussion within a few days (due to my schedule demands) and he clearly laid out the information I needed to provide him and set my expectations for that discussion. He asked good clarifying questions so that by the end of our discussion, he was able to provide me with a solid assessment based on his knowledge of and experience with the people and companies involved. I was relieved to find an attorney with whom I could have a mutually respectful working relationship and left our meeting that day feeling a huge weight lifted from my shoulders. And left the stack of paperwork with him!

During the entire process of negotiating a settlement with the insurance company, Monty was excellent at keeping me informed along the way. To start, we had weekly touchpoints; the frequency increasing as the matter progressed to a final solution. He gave me all the facts, good and bad, and his recommendations. He was always clear that the decisions were ultimately mine as the client and that he would support and represent my decision. He was also great at answering my questions - never short or unprofessional. And I'm a detail person, so I had a lot of questions! I'm also not the type to make instant decisions, I have to process the information. Monty allowed me the time to process and was clear on the timeline by when he'd need a response.

Ultimately, the settlement with the insurance company was finalized the day of court without needing to go in front of the judge.

The overall experience was very easy from my perspective and exceeded my expectations. Monty and his staff are very knowledgeable of the Maryland legal system and I would highly recommend him.

Monty was very knowledgeable with handling my case. His staff is wonderful. He helped me be very prepared for court and felt very comfortable.
