John Vincent Montero

I left a highly dangerous situation for the benefit and safety of myself and kids. I wouldn't have had the strength and peace of mind if it wasn't for John and Pat. The legalities of my situation were unique, but they were able to help me navigate through it for the most benefical outcome for my fami...ly. I also know that my children will be looked after with John and Pat on their side. The focus of their practice is to protect those that cannot protect themselves in a world that is mostly unfair, but with people such as this awesome duo making sure the kids out here are safe, then there are a few more young lives in this world that will start out great thanks to them.

We are so very Pleased with John and Pat! We have been going thru a child custody case since the 90's which has been a constant character assassination against my husband and myself. With constant mediation reports in my husbands favor however while in front of the judge the petitioner would twist a...nd manipulate the truth, ending with my husband and the children feeling let down buy the courts. We happened to stumble upon John's name while searching for a family attorney and when I called the office( after calling around and only getting receptionist at the end each time). I found Mr. Montero directly and he took the time to speak to me understanding of everything I was explaining. I did see he had a negative report in 2010 but had a really good feeling about him when we hung up, I knew he was going to be our attorney. Although we had a 2 hour consult and we felt good about him and Pat it was very hard to just believe that someone understood our battle enough to " Get it Done" seeing as how for 11 years we have always been IN PRO PER we knew It was time to get a attorney because,if our child did his part in speaking his feelings to a mediator it was our job to support and keep being strong in his best intrest. Mr. Montero and Pat are so down to earth and very personable. They are approachable, excepting, understanding, and truely a blessing to have on our side! They know what they are talking about its what they do question them I did but to them is how I did it they simply said " Don't worry we got you" , we still were worried because its family court and very emotional, in the end " They delivered"! We got way more than we were asking Fully physical custody with visitation at our child's discretion. So you ask if We would recommend him , MOST DEFINATLY!!! And we will! We are very happy it seemed so unreal! Love them!!!! Thank you so very much John & Pat!!!!!!!

I've worked with John for more than 5 years on a monster divorce case and continuing child custody case. John worked extremely hard on my divorce when opposing counsel was running up fees and churning the file. My case resulted in me retaining 50% custody of my child, and financial stability with r...egard to splitting up assets. He and his assistant are first rate when it comes to speed, legal knowledge, complete case review, and knowing what is important about a case, and which small stuff not to sweat. He has an excellent rapport and reputation with the Judges. Judges know that he follows the rules of the court and legal code/conduct, which doesn’t put your case in jeopardy. John kills people with kindness, and fights hard in court when necessary. If you follow John’s advice, you won’t go wrong and will get the best possibly results. If you go against John’s advice, then you’ll shoot yourself in the foot (and then lay blame).

John has been my attorney for several years now and he and his assistant do a phenomenal job. They helped me finish off my divorce case after my previous attorney did a terrible job and didn't finish all the paperwork so my divorce didn't go through until John took care of it. The fees were way les...s then I expected and far less than other attorneys. Additionally, they handled my custody case and child support with my two children. They filed emergency orders to get my case heard immediately when my children were in danger. John always listens to what is going on and then takes the important pieces that matter to the court and presents them. They are very knowledgeable and you can tell that this isn't your typical shark law firm. They are caring and concerned for my family, putting our safety first. (Safety was an issue with my children being at the other parent's house.) I now have full custody of my children and I receive my child support in a timely fashion. John has a great rapport in the court room, with Judges, other attorneys and with the DCSS staff. When I attempted to file for child support on my own, the DCSS system informed me that it would take three to six months. When John filed, it took one. Every time I have contacted DCSS or the courts for information, I end up having to get John involved in order to see any results. The courts and DCSS respond to John. He has excellent communication with them and is able to fast track things. I am so thankful for all John and Pat have done for me and for my children, they have a wonderful and effective law office, but more importantly, they are wonderful and ethical people! I recommend this office to anyone in need of a lawyer, or anyone in need of legal advice. I have referred friends there and they are all very happy with the results.
