So fortunate to have Mr. Montrose as my Attorney

I was very fortunate to have found Weston. My situation was my WC case was denied (before I even had the chance to see the recommended Orthopedic specialist), and I knew I had to do something. I was very frustrated as my physical condition was getting worse and I was not able to work whatsoever, to t...he point I even ended up in the ER. I called several attorneys who would not take my case because they told me it was not "financially beneficial" At my initial consult Mr. Montrose was not only empathetic, but very professional and agreed to take my case. Through his hard work and subsequent deposition I was able to get my case approved. His help did not stop there though as I was not comfortable with the Dr. that was assigned to my case who informed me I needed surgery Mr. Montrose helped me choose a different surgeon from a list he provided to me. I saw the surgeon as was more than pleased with him and now am waiting for a surgery. Weston always calls me back promptly and is more than helpful by going that extra mile for you.

A very knowledgeable and helpful attorney.

After I got injured on the job I was not sure how to proceed after my company told me that they were not going to pay for my medical expenses. I knew another lawyer from a sports league (I was not her client) and asked for a recommendation for a good Workers Compensation lawyer, she recommended Mr.... Montrose. After making a call to the firm that he works at I was able to get an appointment very quickly. After he decided to take my case he worked very diligently to get my case resolved with the most positive outcome. My situation was a bit different because of how my company had treated me. My injury was quite straightforward but them made it seem that the reason I was injured was due to a medical condition rather than what actually occurred. Mr Montrose attempted to get my case settled without the need for a trial but my employer would not even address my medical bills that started to pile up. When we did go to court it was not not a lengthy affair, the Judge was pretty shocked that the case made it that far. From the date of my injury to the time I received my check, he was able to get my case resolved in less than a year. He was very accessible and whenever I had questions about my case he was more than happy to answer and was quite quick to return my phone calls. He was very easy to work with and compassionate and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a workers compensation lawyer.

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.
