Has Been There For Me and My Family Every Step-Goes the Extra Mile

Neil went to bat for me and my family in a pretty ugly situation and helped us to get our lives back on track. What I most appreciated was his willingness to drive an hour and a half to another parish to file papers on my behalf; AND his punctuality in returning all calls was very helpful to me. I c...an't imagine a better lawyer out there. It seemed he sincerely cared about me and my kids and was willing to go the extra mile for us. This didn't go unnoticed and I appreciated it very much since our situation got a bit dire. Under the worst pressure, he not only didn't buckle he fought harder for us and succeeded. Thank you very much. Neil Montgomery=A great attorney.

Serious Professional - Kind hearted and works well with everyone.

Neil is my attorney and has been for a while. He will continue to act for me through this divorce and any other legal matters. Neil has wisdom that you can not easily find amongst regular lawyers. Neil can fight in the trenches with even the nastiest of attorney's. He will worry about your cas...e all night long so you can try to sleep soundly. Neil's his true temperament tells me one day he will become a well respected judge because his fairness defines him. I wish to comment about another review about Neil which wasn't favorable. This open forum allows for anyone to write whatever they want. It is so unfair if there is a personal vendetta which it seems there is from what seems to be the losing side who went up against Neil Montgomery. You chose but to me - negative comments from the losing side seems like sour grapes rather than legitimate review. I know that I am glad his my attorney and although I hope for fairness, if the other side wishes to blame their failure on the other attorney, Neil is professional enough to let the mud slinging fall right off his back. He works very hard for HIS client so you probably want him as your attorney.

A HORRIBLE malicious man

There is NO place in the institution of Justice for this man. If you want an attorney that DOESN'T have your children's best interest at heart, please do hire him. If you're looking for an attorney that wants to work with his client & all parties involved the Neil is NOT THE MAN FOR YOU. He hasn't le...arned anything in the short 9 years of his career because his EGO supersedes him and interferers with his application of the law. He advises his client to get children involved in the cases using unscrupulous tactics. I'm glad I'm done with this man and so is my attorney. His refusal to respond to emails, faxes and phone calls cost me more in the end. My advice to him would be to take a few ethical classes.

Best attorney in town!

Neil has been my attorney for the past 3 years. I stumbled upon him by accident but consider him to be a blessing. He has held my hand through my divorce and is still taking care of my property settlement. I Put my life in his hands 3 years ago and he hasn't let me down and I know he won't. This ...entire ordeal has been very stressful for me Andry family and I couldn't image having anyone else by my side. Neil has truly been a blessing and my savior. He has guided me and taught me so much and I thank him from the bottom of my heart. He has also helped me with other small legal matters and I highly recommend him to my family and friends.
