Marital Separation

I used Ms. Montgomery for creating a Marital Separation Agreement. The quick summary is that Ms. Montgomery is approachable, professional, deliberate, strategic, views her contract with you as a joint relationship, and most importantly is cost conscious. Hire her!! The greatest asset Ms. Montgome...ry brought to the table was her willingness to provide services in the minimal amount of time and effort as possible, and allowing me to provide input into the direction and action(s) to be taken. Ms. Montgomery is extremely approachable and creates an environment easy to share information without judgment. She is very accessible through her assistant, by email or phone. She is very knowledgeable, and timely. Ms. Montgomery provided insight, as well as, legal guidance as to direction and best manner to address each issue; however, in the end allowed the decision to be mine. There were many times Ms. Montgomery could have ran up billable hours through document reviews, editing, formatting, etc. but instead passed on our recommendations or concerns to the other attorney. She is very conscientious and deliberate with without being compulsive. One aspect that I liked is that she not only strongly advocated for me, but also made it clear when she felt my position was not a reasonable one. If you can work out a lot of the agreement with your spouse, and/or prepared to be fair it will be the other party that makes life complicated and expensive and at that point you will for sure want Ms. Montgomery as your legal representative.

Couldn’t be happier

My experience with Stephanie was wonderful. Not only is she a force to be reckoned with in court, but she is also a good listener, supportive and an overall nice person. Highly recommend without a doubt.

Excellent Attorney

After my husband past away I went to see Stephanie and she is more than just an attorney she was a friend when I needed one. She went above and beyond to get me the help I needed. I am truly grateful for her assistance. -Betty

Purely Professional

I needed a lawyer for a minor traffic incident. Ms Montgomery was quick to respond via email. She was professional and respectful to the court in both her mannerism and appearance. Her confidence in the courtroom is a clear indicator of her expertise and knowledge the law. She was helpful in gett...ing the initial charges reduced which was all I wanted in this case. Can't go wrong with her.
