Consistently helpful
Helped several friends. One needed to know about the effect of a legal issue on later citizenship application. Another on helping overseas family member understand what needed to be done to join family here. Quick to respond. Answers questions directly, without jargon.
Thank you for the kind review. (I've never understood lawyers who talk to their clients in jargon. If the clients wanted that, they wouldn't hire us!)

Excellent!
I first contacted Mr. Montana in 2013 when a friend recommended his service to me. He had an excellent first impression and, since then, diligently fought for my case.
