Stephanie is an amazing attorney!

Stephanie Montgomery is an excellent attorney she represented me during my divorce 3 years ago and most recently with issues that arose with my property settlement agreement. Stephanie is wonderful to work with she is very responsive and her staff is as well! I would also like to add that Stephani...e is a very kind person who genuinely cares about her clients. I loved working with her!

Honest, caring Legal Professional

Look going through a Divorce is never an easy decision so I went into the process knowing I would need someone who would be able to provide me with the best legal support. After talking with several Law Offices it was clear that Ms Montgomery was my choice. From the start she took time to explain eve...ry detail to me. She walked me through every step and it was obvious she genuinely cares. As a retired military member I knew things would be very difficult and honestly I was very apprehensive but Ms Montgomery reassured me and kept me focused. In the end I am very happy with the outcome of my case. Look there is nothing easy about a divorce but there is no one I would have rather had representing me then Stephanie Montgomery. If you are looking for someone who truly cares about her clients, very open and honest and a top notch professional with the absolute best support staff, look no further.

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.

STAY AWAY! Breached her Fiduciary Duty

As Plaintiff. Retained Stephanie to file for Annulment of Marriage. She talks me out of it, and file for improper Divorce Complaint instead. She never properly disclosed conflict of interest. She file for Divorce instead, offers Defendant improper Agreement without my knowledge. Kept corresponding wi...th defendant, Breached her Fiduciary Duty, refused to produce my complete file and disclose information. Misleads me all the way and refused to mediate, she knows the can only prove it all claims. At the she tells me the DA is her friend and and knows all judges.For certain you’ll lose money, time and be left to suffer worse. STAY AWAY! She talks about it all even to clients of the firm and to other. No Client privileges.

Ben, we can agree to disagree with the facts as you have stated. Your file was not only overnighted to you nearly a year and a half ago but it was also electronically sent to you via email multiple times after I consulted with the Virginia State Bar regarding you. To my knowledge you have had 5 attorneys, 4 of which requested to be relieved as counsel just as I did. I wish you the best in resolving whatever your remaining issues are.
