Excellent Attorney

Ms. Montgomery is an excellent attorney. She helped me with a very detailed real estate transaction. She was always available and handled my transaction in a very professional manner. I would highly recommend Ms. Montgomery for all of your legal work.

Excellent Attorney--Positive Experience

Ms. Montgomery drafted our real estate papers for selling our home. Ms. Montgomery's work is outstanding. All legal work was prepared promptly. The documents contained many pages, and Ms. Montgomery took care to make sure all of our stipulations were included in the real estate papers to sell our ...home. She always has a smile and is eager to please her clients. Ms. Montgomery is very conscientious and performs her work in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Ms. Montgomery for all legal work.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
