Thank you !!!

My case was a civil case dealing with previous probate & property taxes. Although my issue was complicated and not a criminal defense matter, Mr. Montes was willing to help me. I was kept well informed as he thoroughly explained the different options, pros & cons, with me. He listens and is attent...ive to your concerns. Ultimately, the case was dropped against me. Thank you for being so trustworthy & prompt ! RMP-A, RN.

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.
