Amy Marie Montes

My experience with the Montes Law Firm was beyond my expectations. I worked with Amy Montes, Mara Wilkerson and Mary Stopher who is their paralegal on not one, but two family matter cases. Their kindness, respect and full attention to both of my matters is what makes this legal team an incredible sou...rce of support and professionalism. Going through these matters can be difficult but Amy always made me feel as if I was her only client. Mind you, she had many others to attend to while working on my case, but to no avail when I called or emailed she or Mara was there to respond immediately. I would HIGHLY recommend this law firm to handle any family matter case as their knowledge of the law and their expertise is what truly brings you peace of mind and ease while navigating through these difficult life situations. Thank you, Montes Law Firm. I will forever be grateful!

Mrs. Amy Montes was professional, realistic, prompt and thorough. I had previously spoken with, and had paid, two other lawyers​ that were highly rated in Orange Couty Yelp. They were not as good as Amy. ​Third time is a charm I guess. I felt that Amy Montes had my best interests in mind. Realize... that divorce/dissolution of marriage is one of the hardest things you will go through in your life. You need to have someone that you trust that has your best interests in mine--not just their own. Attorney's are not free for a reason. I met Amy when she was not in the impressive Irvine office she has now. When a lawyer tells you that you may not actually need to go to court (although the possibility always exists), and gives you real advice based on your situation, trust is earned. I felt like the other two attorneys I spoke with in the area were simply trying to use fear-based​ tactics to get me to sign up. I asked Amy what the best and worst case scenarios were and she was right on the money. She became strong-willed​ in my situation where I may have missed the mark myself. Long story short I ended up retaining Amy on a consultant basis and she gave me real and relevant advice for my situation. This advice provided helped create what was ultimately the possible result for my situation. She saved me tens of thousands of dollars by doing what was right. Amy listened attentively even during weeks when they were busy in court with other cases. Someone from her staff always was in contact and Amy made personal time when necessary to handle my case specifically. I met with her personally several times, multiple emails and phone calls. Not once would I say she was not on top of my case. She noticed several key points that I would have missed that could have been very costly to me. In addition, at no time was Amy ever condescending or belittling--I cannot say that about other Attorney's staff that I encountered. We were able to stay out of court and through Amy's counsel the resolution that I achieved is both fair and beneficial to everyone involved. She is a real person and will tell you the reality, for better or for worse. That is what you need when you are in a challenging situation. Amy exceeded her peers in this area. That is why I recommend her.

I was dreading hiring a divorce attorney and I had hear horror stories about bad divorce attorneys that just take your money and don't work for your benefit. When I first met Amy, I was not sure she was able to help. But after all her hard work and persistence in getting all of my divorce proceedin...gs and filings (including restraining orders) out of the way, I was so impressed by her and her knowlege of divorce laws. Amy is honest, compassionate, sincere, and very caring and loving too. She is always reachable by phone too and easy to get a hold of. I don't know what I would have gotten from my divorce settlement had she not been my attorney, and Amy really impressed me with all that she did for me. If you are considering a divorce, or need an attorney dealing with family law, don't look for another attorney. Amy is the one and only attorney you will ever need. Her prices are very reasonable and she made all this happen for me for a single mom with three kids.
