Highly Recommend

Ms. Montgomery was recommend to me by half a dozen friends when I asked for a good divorce lawyer. I knew my divorce would be contested by my ex-wife. Stephanie did not disappoint. Her vast knowledge of divorce law and her experience plowed through all of my ex-wife's attempts at delaying the divorce.... My ex-wife used multiple attorneys to try and get more than her fair share of assets. Ms. Montgomery knew exactly how to use her licensing, courtroom experience, and litigation knowledge to thwart every attempt made to further delay the divorce or gain an unfair share of assets. I'm happy that I chose Ms. Montgomery to represent me and I highly recommend her to anyone going through a highly contested divorce.  - Dan

I don't know what I would have done without Mrs. Montgomery

When I sat down with Mrs. Montgomery, to discuss whether she would take me as a client for my upcoming divorce, I found that she was easy to talk to and she explained the divorce process to me in detail. During our conversation she projected a sense of strength and confidence that convinced me she w...as the right attorney for my divorce. I hired her on the spot. Mrs. Montgomery steadfastly represented my interests and my position in the court room. She brilliantly countered all the nonsense claims from my ex-wife and kept the case about the facts. I highly recommend Mrs. Montgomery as an attorney for the following reason, she took charge of my case and didn’t allow the opposing side to get an upper hand, represented my interests, and used her expert knowledge of the legal system to keep the opposing side in check. Furthermore, Mrs. Montgomery kept me informed on any issues that may impact my case, she is very professional, and has a very pleasant demeanor. If you are looking for a lawyer in Williamsburg or York County give Stephanie Montgomery a chance to help you with your legal issues.

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.
