Excellent Attorney

I consulted with Attorney Montoya after being referred to her by two colleagues. She is a wealth of knowledge and information and took a lot of time to review my case documents and understand my case. She discussed my options thoroughly and it was one of the first times I felt an attorney understood ...my concerns and advised me of all the possible outcomes without rushing or giving me quick answers without fully understanding the case. If I decide to move forward in the future, I will absolutely be retaining her. It was apparent that she knows her client's cases inside and out, goes the extra mile, and is an ethical attorney.

Last Minute

I needed to hiring After I had already filed my initial paperwork. She got on top of everything very quickly. I was already headed in the right direction but she just tipped everything off. She gave great advisement on the issues I was having and how I should handle things moving forward. She made th...ings a little more clear for me of what is expected of me in the court’s eyes and gave me peace of mind which is the main reason I went to her. Thank you Morgan!

Family/Restraining Order

I highly recommend Morgan. I was going through a family law/restraining order case. It was emotional/messy and stressful. Morgan made the court system a little less dehumanizing. She comforted me and empathized and explained every single step of the case, so that I understood what may and may not hap...pen. I never felt once like I didn't know what was going on. Before hire she took the time to help me prep my case while I was pro per. After her guidance and generous time given, I hired her. Through the whole process I felt like she was a friend that really cared for my well being but also tactful, realistic and wise. If you have never hired an attorney before, I would hire her to be your first. She is an exceptional attorney.
