Stephanie Ann Montgomery

I was recommended to Stephanie Montgomery from another attorney for a divorce and property settlement. I am very glad I took their advice. From our initial phone call, I was immediately impressed with Mrs. Montgomery’s extremely cool, calm disposition. Although at the time of the phone call, I was st...ill unsure if divorce was the answer to my marriage. During that phone call, she uttered a phrase that stuck with me for some time. After listening to me for some time tell my story, she said, “I know what’s coming…and I will be here when you need me.” That made an immediate impression on me. I thought to myself, she hears stories like this all the time. She heard mine and said that to me? For quite a long time I was trying desperately to save the marriage. In the end, her profound words eventually became true. A few months later, I arrived at her office. As I navigate life, I have discovered that there is a need to build a team around you to support you. I mean, you can’t do it all yourself. So you seek out people. Professionals that help you, give you solid advice, and be there for you when you need them. Stephanie was that for me in a big way. Se proposed the best solution to the property settlement and custody arrangements. Stephanie was always quick to call me back to answer my questions. Stephanie Montgomery is a wonderful medley of intelligence, professionalism, tact, and genuine attention. She sets the bar very high! Meanwhile, her para-legal Keidra Frasier was also on top of my documents and correspondence. Even Brittany, the front office clerk was very professional and attentive. I have recommended Stephanie Montgomery to a few close friends who have talked to me about divorce and I will continue to do so. If you have taken the time to read this review, do yourself a favor and set an appointment. You will be glad you did.

My husband and I paid for the consultation to be told that our case, we were looking for redetermination of custody for my husband's daughter from his first marriage, was basically hopeless and that we would be lucky to get visitation. We told her that we needed the entire cake and she told us she co...uld try to get us a piece. Well, we took our business elsewhere, found somebody who believed in our case, and ultimately received full-custody and the mother is currently in jail for 5+ years on drug charges. Idk.. maybe child custody just isn't her thing?

Well, my -firsthand- experience with Stephanie was very positive. I retained Stephanie to navigate a complicated divorce involving multiple businesses as well as myriad financial & tax issues. Her experience as a bankruptcy attorney served my interests as well, and I was happy to have her support dur...ing a contentious court appearance, since she succeeded in having opposing council's egregious request for extra legal fees dismissed by the judge. It was clear from that experience that Stephanie is well-known and highly-regarded in the legal community. It is true, you get what you pay for, and it's also true that quality is not expensive, it's priceless. I'm -so- glad I hired an expert, because it ended up saving me fees during the divorce, and the settlement ended up saving my assets, which was my goal from the outset. I can -wholeheartedly- recommend Stephanie; I feel she's the one for anyone desiring a respected, seasoned lawyer on their team. BTW, I'm mystified how someone who didn't actually hire or work with Stephanie is able to post a review to begin with, and how it is possible they could have formed any bad opinion. My personal interactions and the end result were entirely satisfactory...period.

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.

Stephanie Montgomery has represented members of my family in traffic court during the past five years. During case preparation prior to court she always provides excellent advice. Her skillful litigation has always resulted in positive outcomes. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of an... excellent attorney in the Williamsburg area.
