Sound of reasoning in an emotional situation

Stephanie recently handled a custody/ child support petition. My soon to be ex husband and his attorney filed for support. Stephanie was able to mitigate spousal support and come to an agreement in regards to child support for joint custody. Although we came to an agreement prior to court, the oppo...sing counsel did not provide their end of the resolution and we ended up appearing before the judge with a consent order. Stephanie was well poised, prepared and professional in the court room. I would recommend Stephanie as a family lawyer.

Kate, thank you for the review. You were well organized, realistic and available at all steps through the custody, visitation and support matters. I will make myself immediately available to you when any future legal need arises.

Hire Stephanie Without Hesitation

Stephanie Montgomery is the type of lawyer that you want on your side. She's extremely professional, hard working, and smart. She's also very warm, easy to talk to, and caring. I always appreciate how Stephanie keeps it real by telling me what to expect. ... My complicated divorce isn't final yet. However, after experiencing court last week and having the opportunity to watch Stephanie in action, I am no longer afraid of what lies ahead. Stephanie's confidence is infectious and helps me feel better about returning to court. If you are looking for a lawyer who is highly respected, has lots of experience, and genuinely works hard for you, then hire Stephanie Montgomery without any hesitation.

Toni, your comments are very much appreciated. You and I both know, it has been a complex case with many, many issues to resolve. Divorce and the resolution of custody, visitation , support issues as well as the Equitable Distribution Process are emotionally challenging and arduous most often. We have managed to get off to a great start and am hopeful to conclude all matters in the not too distant future. You have been nothing short of a joy to work with.

A Solid Advocate

My wife and I were facing some charges, which we disputed, regarding the move-out of our previous leased residence. Stephanie Montgomery was able to have the property managers see the light and refund our money. My family wholly recommends Ms. Montgomery. Thank you!
