The Worst Attorney EVER

Stay away from this man. He is politically motivated and does not care one bit about children's wellness or stability.

Awesome attorney

Corey was honest, and made sure I understood everything that was going on with the case. He explained the whole process and kept it real. I cant thank him enough for all the hard work he put into my case. In the end we got everything we were asking for and it's because of Corey!

A Lawyer of Integrity

I came to Corey when someone issued a temporary restraining order against me based on very serious false accusations. My case was complicated because it also overlapped with my boyfriend’s custody case. I was absolutely terrified of the impact of these claims that were being made against me. Corey wa...s able to get me in his office within 24 hours, he spent over an hour getting to know me, the facts and explaining the whole process to me. He was knowledgeable in family law and the criminal law. Corey was calming and reassuring during a time where everything was chaotic for me. Corey did not waste anytime working on my case. Within 12 hours of meeting Corey he had already sent out emails and documentation to the other council. He wasted 0 time. When it was time for the court hearing Corey did all the heavy lifting. He made sure he was communicating to me what was going on every time he entered and the left the room. I really appreciated the fact that Corey is a man of integrity and wants the best for his clients without having to play dirty. If you want a lawyer who is honest, efficient and focused on getting you the best results Corey is the person you should hire.

Corey is willing to fight for what's right

When my son received a letter regarding a $35 bill that was sent to a bill collector, who added a $300 fee to collect; we turned to Corey Montiho for guidance. Not only was he able to get the ridiculous collection fee tossed, he got the whole thing thrown out. Corey saw the way the bill collector w...as trying to take advantage of a situation and he knew it wasn't right. He investigated and addressed it appropriately. He's a down to earth, reasonable, family man who gets fantastic results for his clients! We would definitely recommend him to others!

Corey was able to get both of my lawsuits dropped without me having to pay any of them! I am so thankful he represented me and continues to represent me. He also responded within a timely manner every time I contacted him. He always explained everything to me thoroughly so I would understand it it to...o. I highly recommend him!
