Exceptional Attorney

Ms. Montgomery is an exceptional attorney. She knows the law and is confident and results driven. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome for my case. Thank you!

Exceptional Legal Representation by Ms. Stephanie Montgomery

I am deeply grateful for the exceptional legal representation I received from Ms. Stephanie Montgomery during my recently completed complex divorce process. Stephanie not only managed to secure a marital settlement agreement but also avoided the stress and financial burden of a prolonged courtroom ba...ttle. She had previously efficiently arranged a custody and visitation agreement early in the process, which was approved after the initial court hearing for child custody, visitation and support — but before an already-scheduled full hearing was needed. This strategic and proactive approach allowed me to focus on rebuilding my life and career, confident in the knowledge that I had a highly competent and compassionate attorney handling my case. If you're facing a difficult family law issue and need someone who can deliver results while minimizing conflict, Ms. Stephanie Montgomery is the attorney you want by your side.

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

Exceptional

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.

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.
