Knowledge and Compassionate

If you need a good bankruptcy attorney I would recommend Ms. Montgomery. I used Ms. Montgomery to help with a family members bankruptcy. Ms. Montgomery went above and beyond. Her ability to clearly explain the process up front to ensure we were prepared and understood was helpful. He vast knowledge g...ot us through our bankruptcy quickly and without any hesitation. Ms. Montgomery made an uncomfortable situation manageable and reassured us everything would be ok. Using Ms. Montgomery services was the best decision for my family.

AMAZING

To be blunt, Stephanie Montgomery is an amazing attorney. As I proud individual, it was extremely humbling to have to file for bankruptcy. Stephanie literally ensured the transition of my credit rebuild was painless as well as informative. Her diligence to her craft enabled my understanding of the... process to be one of complete understanding. I did not feel as if I were just another client, instead felt that my expectations were exceeded and am grateful for her and her staff. If anyone is going through the pains of bankruptcy, I would recommend Stephanie Montgomery; trust me you will not be disappointed.

Needed the BEST!!!!

I needed a lawyer to represent my daughter in court for a “failure to yield ticket”. I have legal aid representation so when called for an attorney, I was transferred to her. When I spoke with her, she was up-beat and personal/professional. When we met on the court date, she made my family feel co...mfortable. She did a FANTASTIC job representing us!!!! If a family, friend or co-worker needs court representation, I will recommend Attorney Montgomery. My husband and daughter were really impressed. We all left the court room with smiles on our faces. No court cost!!! No charges!!!!

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.

Great communicator; Stephanie Montgomery has earned my trust

I needed a lawyer, and I needed one fast. My wife had served me with divorce papers and I didn’t know where to turn or what to do. I had 21 days to respond and I was devastated. How do you find a good lawyer, particularly when you are in a situation where you never thought you’d be and where you hav...e absolutely no experience? I started an interview process, first getting some recommendation from friends. I had interviewed three lawyers, with indifferent impressions, when the last said “Ya’ know who you need, the best in Williamsburg – Stephanie Montgomery”. I made an appointment with Ms. Montgomery. During the interview I could tell she was different from the rest. Her credentials are outstanding and her experience is deep. She knows the law and the process. She combines an extraordinary strategic ability with the tactics to implement that strategy. By itself, that would have done it. There was something else though that makes her special; we clicked. Here was an attorney I could talk to, for she not only heard me, she listened. Straight-forward and candid, she tells you what you need to know and how it is. The most important aspect of the attorney-client relationship is communication and trust; Stephanie Montgomery builds and earns that trust. In my case the process was long and difficult, Ms. Montgomery worked with me all the way, providing expert opinion and working hard to come to resolution. She showed extraordinary patience in the face of difficult people and circumstances. It was in the appearance before the Judge that her abilities manifested. She is present; seeing what is going on, reading the judge, making adjustments in tactics to meet the strategic goals. Her presentation skills are outstanding; it is entirely fair to say that she dominated that appearance before the court. I’ve been approached by two friends who have found their selves in the same unfortunate circumstances; in both instances I recommended Ms. Montgomery and they are now her clients. Divorce is a tough road to travel; Stephanie Montgomery has the experience, skills, and ability to help you along that journey.
