About Edmund
Biography
I have been practicing Family Law for over 20 years and have been published in two major appellate cases concerning Family Law issues. My expertise in Family Law is well documented.
I am well versed in all aspects of Family Law. I continue to lecture on Family Law issues to fellow colleges as well as mentoring several attorneys.
I have also been actively involved in Sacramento concerning Family Law issues. I was on the committee that wrote the current Family Code concerning drug abuse and children in Family Court.
I have lobbied on issues of child support, spousal support, custody, and domestic violence issues in Sacramento.
My goal has always been to protect our children so they grow up to be the best they can be. That can only happen by reforming our current Family Law Courts.

Rip off
I hired him a few years ago. There was a lot of hidden assets he told me we would get in discovery . When we went to court he asked me if I minded waiting outside the courtroom because she my ex feared for her life. I thought it was odd but did it. When he came out he said for now I still had to pay ...

Replied last April 4, 2021The fact scenario does not sense. I can not remember a case where I had my client wait outside a court room and then sign a final judgment with a spousal support order. No judge would accept such an agreement without inquiring on the record. But yes if there was a house 50% of the equity would belong to the Ex. I could not have withdrawn from the case without a final judgment. To withdraw prior to a judgment would have required his signature.

Fathers rights expert!
Mr. Montgomery is the best family law attorney in SB county. After a 10 year custody battle he was able to get me full custody of my 3 children. Absolutely amazing after two previous attorneys failed completely. He also cleared out my child support case with absolute precision. I was referred to him ...

Child support and custody
I wanted full custody and wanted to settle for 50/50 custody towards the end because I was tired of going to court . I ended up with 45% custody and I still have to pay child support when he promised to write something for me and said more than likely I wasn’t gonna pay anything. Mr. Montgomery had...

Deserves ZERO stars!
I do not know how it is possible that this attorney has a rating of 10 on here. Mr. Montgomery managed to drag my divorce case on for 2 years! He was never available when I called. He had only 3 conferences with me in 2 years. He neglected to inform me of many court dates which I found out about afte...

Replied last July 23, 2020When a client moves and does not tell you their new address or phone number it is impossible to communicate with them. They need to take some responsibility for their case. I have always informed my clients of their court dates and return all of their phone calls.

Very helpful lawyer and kind person.
He prepared a agreement between my husband and me for a gift money from my parents. Very quick response and clear statement. He also taught me how to sign it to make it legal. Very patient and in detail. Great lawyer ever!
