This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Incredibly smart and tireless

We got the opportunity to get to know Mark when our previous attorney passed from a heart attack. Our case is very detailed and involves a lot of high ranking officials. Mark never hesitated once we were able to explain the case. I believe he has picked up the reigns and managed the case better th...an we could have expected. He is approachable with questions or concerns and spends the time making sure we understand the next steps. Since we have had the misfortune of being involved in the legal system for several years, we have met a bunch of attorneys who talk more than they actually do anything. Mark is the opposite of that. If you need someone to help fight for you, I would highly recommend Mark Montiel Jr.

Mrs

Mark was knowledgeable, professional and polite. He took the time to answer all of my questions every time we spoke. He called frequently to update me on the progress of the case. I would highly recommend Mark.

Construction Contracts

Mark has represented me on a couple of construction contract cases and did an outstanding job throughout the entire process. He has also advised me on my companies contract terminology and structure.

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.
