This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Montgomery has represented my medical marihuana dispensary, Riverside Wellness in Guerneville, since it's beginning, he has always kept us informed and in compliance with the complex and rapidly changing laws and regulations governing this industry. He is highly skilled and highly competent, and... I heartily recommend him.

Jack Bertram Montgomery's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse Jack
Michael Angelo Fiumara headshot
Michael Fiumara

Criminal defense lawyer | Sep 18

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Jack Montgomery is not only an attorney who zealously and effectively advocates for his clients in and out of the courtroom, but his ethics are beyond reproach. Mr. Montgomery has been practicing law in Sonoma County for at least 25 years (longer than I have been around) and is well known and respected in the legal community. I have seen Mr. Montgomery get great results for his clients in the courtroom in spite of overwhelming odds--that is the mark of an excellent attorney since it is no easy feat with such a pro-prosecution bias. Mr. Montgomery has a very strong courtroom presence and professional demeanor. I would highly recommend Mr. Montgomery."

"I have known Jack Montgomery for more than 30 years. I have worked with him and opposed him in court. I would refer any criminal defendant to him without reservation, he is a gifted litigator and a talented negotiator."

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.
