Stephanie Ann Montgomery

Before I met Ms Montgomery, I had already wasted thousands of dollars on a previous divorce attorney. Ms Montgomery got on my case quickly and not only is she tackling my divorce, but she also got me full, sole, legal custody of both of my kids. Anyone who knows about the state of Virginia, knows th...at's very hard to do. I have been very pleased with her knowledge and confidence. She cares for her clients and fights for the best results possible. Retaining her was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Thank you Ms Montgomery. I am forever grateful.

If any of this seems overinflated, meet her first and watch Stephanie Montgomery in action. What can I say about Stephanie Montgomery? Well, if you want a lawyer to give it to you straight that manages both expectations and costs, she is it! Examples you want? OK! Both my ex-wife and others spen...t tremendous amounts on lawyers, pouring over meaningless details/texts/events. Stephanie gave me the guidebook for what to do and how to generally save-face in the process without wasting everyone’s time on things that just didn’t matter for my case. Their legal bills grew out of control while mine stayed manageable, much to my relief during such an expensive time. She is an amazing human being. Her calm demeanor was soothing but then you realize she is razor sharp and assertive, you couldn’t orchestrate and legal drama better than Stephanie’s day-to-day business conduct when it matters. Stephanie, Brittany and Keidra are literally lifesavers!! I am just so lucky and thankful that I was able to find this group to get me through the hardest part of my life so far. I walk a little taller with more confidence after what felt like a soul-crushing event. PS: I love reading the clients that rated Stephanie with 1 star, her replies reveal that she did her part and was/is still professional and helpful. Facts, reasoning, and a dose of reality! If Stephanie could be my life coach, I would hire her immediately!

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!!!!

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.

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.
