Brenda Montes

My husband and I are clients of Ms. Montes through multiple stages of our immigration journey for 5+ years now. Brenda Montes is an exceptional attorney. While others may boast similar qualifications, one of her many strengths and what sets her apart is her background as a NATIONALLY RANKED interc...ollegiate policy debater prior to her law career. Not all lawyers have the level of argumentation skills that Brenda has. Her persuasion and impact is clear when in her presence, as she explains the legal process and different ways to approach your specific situation. She knows how to talk to people like real people, while answering concerns honestly without causing panic. You'd be surprised how many lawyers don't know how to communicate with their clients in ways they will understand. Being lost amongst a sea of lawyers, it's difficult not knowing what to expect or who to trust to put in their best work versus those who do the bare minimum and see their clients merely as another account or file. Brenda truly cares and tries to understand each client's legal situation as unique to them, rather than applying general advice you may hear from different attorneys. She present you with multiple options and her best recommendation, thoroughly explaining the pros and cons to each path, and which she is confident in pursuing. Brenda is able to explain complex rules and laws, while continuously learning and developing new strategies as quickly as immigration laws and processes are being changed. You WANT an attorney as diligent as Brenda. She thinks of the best and worst case scenario and creates a plan for them so you don't have to. If anything, Brenda OVERPREPARES, which is a good thing. She literally has a plan A, B, C, and D. Get yourself a strategic attorney. It's imperative that lawyers have their own takes and approaches to legal battles for the betterment of their client. Great attorneys think outside of the box to solve problems. Brenda is AMAZING. If you're looking unsure and looking for a sign, this is it. I'm so glad we have Brenda Montes fighting in our corner.

I cannot stop saying good things about this wonderful lawyer. She is honest, efficient, respectful, well organized and responsible in every way. She took my case when no other lawyer wanted to take it because it was almost impossible to win since it was not only an immigration case but also had penal... connotations. She worked side by side with me and my family and the lawyers I had to hire at my home country, El Salvador, and the fact that she speaks fluent Spanish was very helpful. My case was very special due to the its complexity but she kept on going even when everything seemed lost. She got me a bond to get me out of the detention center I had been in for three months in a short period of working as my lawyer. She went above and beyond to help me and I cannot be more thankful about her and the work she did for me and my case, and thanks to her diligent work she won my case and now I get to stay legally in this country. Accessible prices and could accommodate to installment payments. I would definitely recommend her.

Brenda Montes, A five star review is not enough to explain about this name. I have never seen any attorney as promised and professional as her. She is a fighter and she knows how to win. Recently, she dealt my family case which was almost impossible to win. She worked so hard and won the case. I got ...my family back. Most important thing is, she has very deep feelings for the people and families who are struggling with immigration. I can guarantee that she is the safest hand for family cases in Southern California.
