Personal injury made RiGHT

I was parked at a gas pump, and semi came through wrong entrance, side swiping and demolitioned my vehicle...the driver gave false information to not only me but the cop. It was almost like I had been robbed, the trucking company tried to just let it go.... I was referred to attorney Mark Montgomery... in McKinney TX. His office was committed to getting me a honest settlement, after knowing the driver was dishonest. Mark staff was so well managed and reassured me, they would try for the best possible outcome. Thank for focusing on my my case and taking care of me as your client.

My Saving Grace

My case was a very complicated one; there was a criminal case going on, a civil/family case, and I was being sued. Needless to say, it was beyond ugly! On top of that, my first lawyer, despite the fool proof ammo she was given, she not only not only failed miserably, but gave the opposing council and... my ex the upper hand. Long story short, Montgomery had to do some serious damage control to even let it be an even playing field. I've never seen anything like him in the courtroom!! He is calm, tactful, assertive, compassionate, aggressive, patient,... whatever he needs to be. He's a pitbull in the courtroom! Unlike anything I've seen, or have even ever heard of! Him and his team are absolutely remarkable! They gave me my life, and more importantly, my family back! I hope I never need a lawyer again, but if I do, Montgomery's my man! I have, and will continue to, refer my loved ones to him. I can't thank you enough Montgomery & team!!!

Excellent Attorney

Mark has represented me on multiple occasions for different reasons with positive results. Each time I felt that I was dealing with someone who is honest and truly has my best interests at heart. I would absolutely recommend Mark and his team to anyone needing a true ally when navigating the legal sy...stem.

Posted by anonymous | August 21, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Very Disappointed and unethical!

Mr. Montgomery was referred to me by a friend. He was nice in the beginning, but always seemed in a rush. I hired him for a retainer of $3k for divorce which was an infidelity case. He didn't prep me before temporary hearing date. Spoke to paralegal most of the time. At the temporary hearing I was... so distraught I thought we were putting in place temporary orders and it was a final agreement. The temporary spousal support was for 1 month, but I was on disability and no job. I had nowhere to live and had to be out by May which gave me 1 month. I had to negotiate with my husband to stay longer. The settlement was not in the best interest of me or to start my life over. He charged me for every email that were duplicates and sometimes never even answered. I had requested he get my husband to release the funds agreed upon and he never did anything in regards to it. Charged me anyways for calls. He also was handling my criminal assault charge which was self defense. I retained him for that too. The first appearance date he didn't show, had someone else show and never spoke to me. Then reset the hearing again 2 more times and then decided he was going to drop me 2 days before my court appearance date and had to request a court appointed attorney. He then sent in for a hearing to dropped my divorce case. The court date was the following month and I was sent to the ER the day before by ambulance for an emergency procedure and my court hearing was the next morning to appear before the judge. When I called from the ER to explain the seriousness of the situation he refused to reset the withdraw date. I was a no show for my court appearance and didn't even get to speak with the judge. He charged me for all of the withdrawal forms and apprearances to withdraw. He is not empathic nor does he try to work with you. He is by far the worst lawyer I have come across with no ethics. I'm still without a job, living on a disability check and my divorce is final in October with no attorney. I will be appealing my divorce case due to the lack of representation and best interest on my behalf. I have been advised to report to law board.

Unfortunately some expectations can not be met. This is rare ,but our firm strives to meet the needs of each and every client. I am sorry that this individual feels this way and without going into detail we feel that our firm tried to meet the expectations of this particular person. We will work to do better. I will add that the person that referred this client continues to refer clients to me and has for years . This is the only negative feedback that person has received as well.
