Waste of time, energy and money

Initially, I thought that this attorney would have to uphold his family firm's name and 4-star reviews here but I made an ASSumption. It turned out that, not only did he charge us an exorbitant flat fee of $2500 (May 2024) for Newport News and spent less than an hour talking to us. Prior to the case,... he did no research nor talked strategies nor talked to the state trooper or find out anything about the case. He did not do any background work until 15 minutes prior to court time and found the state trooper in court. Each emailed question was responded quickly but with an "I don't know" or no further suggestions until the second payment check was cashed. He repeated the SAME 5 lines over and over like a broken record - all of which can be found on any law firm website. That's the extend of his advice. He did not give an address or time of when we had to show up in court until we asked him to confirm to make sure that we were going to the same court. After the verdict, he tried to make us feel better by saying that he was expecting a lot worse - jee, thanks! Anthony then disappeared and reprimanded me for calling his cell phone. Seriously, I could have done better myself without a law degree.

Hire this lawyer!!!

I hired Anthony to defend me on a reckless driving charge. I’m from out of state and was shocked to receive such a charge for speeding. Anthony was so supportive throughout the entire process. He got the charge reduced to a speeding ticket. I don’t know what I would’ve done without his guidance. I hi...ghly recommend him!

Best lawyer in norfolk va

Had a reckless driving ticket had to go to court 5/5. Got charges reduced to defective equipment. Followed all his instructions before court, and everything worked out. He is the best lawyer in norfolk hands down

The best ! Hands down

I hired Mr.Montagna for legal representation after receiving a reckless driving ticket in Virginia Beach . Mr.Montagna was very professional and made sure to meet me first before taking my case , which made me feel more comfortable and secure in my choice . He was very specific in what steps I needed... to take to better my chances in getting the verdict I wanted in my case . He communicated very well and made sure to ensure that we were a team and would be working together , which we did ! His presentation to the court was remarkable! The judge did even let him finish before she went ahead and reduced my reckless to speeding ! Which relieved me of jail time and hefty fines that she was handing out to other individual with the same charge . I was beyond please and so relieved and impressed ! If i could leave him 10 starts I would ! Don't hesitate when it comes to hiring him , you won't be sorry !

Child Custody

My boyfriend and I live out of state and needed legal advice and representation in Virginia regarding his divorce and child custody case. Mr. Montagna was helpful and responded to all our questions and concerns timely.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
