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 less 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.

I am a current client of John’s. I have been going through a nightmare for the last three years with my ex. I have won some battles, and lost others. Early in 2011 though, my struggle to be a part of my kid’s lives and combat the accusations by my ex reached a point when I could no longer handle it alone. That is when a friend referred me to John. John and Pat are wonderful. They know my case; they listen to what I have to say; and they argue passionately for my kids and I. I read the dissatisfied review above. I have to disagree fervently. Based on the vocabulary and phrasing, the second dissatisfied review seems to have been done by the same person who is very upset, so I will only address the first. I agree, John has a communication style all his own, but it works! And yes, as a person who provides a service, just like any attorney, you are going to have to pay for his services. I do not recall anyone who accused lawyers of working for free. As for taking too long, well, if you did not know before, I am sad to say that Family court, divorce, and custody battles are all horrible, long, and costly. The bottom line for me is that John and Pat have helped me accomplish what I could not have on my own. They make a great team and work hard to give my children and I a better life. I could never thank them enough for that.

I would highly recommend MR. Montero and his assistant and totally disagree with the previous review. I became a client of MR. Montero over 6 years ago and they helped me with a very complicated divorce that involved custody, property and support. I had a different attorney prior to Mr. Montero that did not represent me as I thought I should be. MR. Montero and his assistant have been awesome! They are fair and just. They know the law! They went above and beyond what I had experienced with my previous attorney. They explained the process thoroughly and guided me through a yearlong battle. In the end everything was divided evenly and they protected me and my relationship with my children. They are very kid orientated and 6 year later my children still ask if we can stop by and see MR. Montero and his assistant when we are in the area. If your looking for an attorney that will do the right thing and be fair, look know further. Mr Montero and his assistant are it!
