The best immigration lawyer in San Diego

My wife and I thought we could handle the immigration process ourselves...and we were so wrong! Jonathan Montag answered our questions and eased our nerves over the phone before we even hired him....which we did and it was a life saver. He is always available via email or phone. Makes it really s...imple. I would absolutely recommend him. Jonathan Montag took the undue stress out of the green card process and we couldn't have done this without him. and finally my citizenship is the best thing that could have happened to me! Jonathan Montag most caring, professional and effective attorney that I have ever worked with. I am truly satisfied and grateful for his excellent job!

From J1 to Permanent resident status

It's so nice to hear that the petition has been approved. Warren and I were so thankful that God's favor is with us. With how things work, it's just amazing! We're also thankful that God sent us a hardworking lawyer like you. Congratulations to you too, I believe our success is yours too, as we are h...elping each other in this process. Even from the first time we met Atty. Montag, he genuinely seemed concerned about our situation and wanted to help us.You were honest and direct yet always optimistic. You always had time for us whether it via e-mail, by phone, or in person and you honestly made us feel that we were your only clients. We also greatly appreciated the fact that you took into account our financial situation and set us up with a payment plan. Thank you again for your work and for all your help with my green card petition... please accept our heartfelt thanks for your help, for the professional service offered in obtaining a permanent resident visa. Not only have you offered expert and capable guidance, but also provided considerate and careful assistance.We felt extremely at ease working with you at all times... We would strongly recommend your services to anyone for any immigration matters. Best regards, J. Damaso

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Mr. Montag is one of the best immigration lawyers in the state. I have worked with him for several years on the commission that writes and grades the immigration specialty exam for the California State Bar. Mr. Montag is the Chairperson of the commission, and has consistently demonstrated an in-depth understanding of very complex immigration issues (as well as a great wit and sense of humor). His approach to legal problems also reflects the highest ethical standards. Mr. Montage is my very top choice for deportation (removal) defense or family-based immigration cases in the San Diego area."

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.
