Grateful and blessed to have had Montgomery Law represent my child

We are beyond grateful for their A+ support and highly recommend them to anyone facing challenges within the education system.

Montgomery law firm fight for what is right.Strong presentation in court and persuasive legal arguments get positive results.Their top notch legal strategy delivers favorable outcomes in negotiations.The team always made time to take our calls even on weekends.The Montgomery Law Firm works hard and has a kind heart.Joe ,Bradley and Mary genuinely care that my student is successful.We are grateful for their guidance and highly recommend Montgomery Law Firm.

Completely unprofessional and not willing to assist after they tell you you have a case. The representative hung up on me and did not call back. Received an attitude when I returned call.

I beg to differ with what Kevaun has to say, I’ve been working with Montgomery law over one year now and I have to say that they’re exceptional. They really helped me not once but twice. They fought really hard for my daughter’s education when the district was giving me a run around. Mary is so warm and really nice, she treated me like family through the process and was super knowledgeable. I do recommend Montgomery law 100% and would be using them in the foreseeable future.

Top notch education lawyers. I don't want to get into the details of the school law issue that I had, but I can say with certainty, YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE! these are the education lawyers you have been searching for. every aspect of my case was handled with care, compassion and aggression when required.

I WOULD NEVER CHOOSE THIS LAW OFFICE AGAIN! Worst experience ever, especially when you are depending on expertise for something so meaningful as your child’s education. 0 integrity 0 Authenticity 0 professionalism, This law office is ran like a mom and pop corner store. In my opinion the law firm had little to no resources shown and no desire to litigate in my opinion. My non-verbal autistic son on several occasions was physically locked in a room all alone, hit, and had chairs thrown at him by workers in school setting in the Philadelphia school district. Montgomery law only wanted to do a settlement agreement despite the principal and several staff admitting these Egregious acts. The team at Montgomery law I was exposed to were Joseph Montgomery, Mary Montgomery, Bradley Montgomery. They did demonstrated the desire to get money more than help my son with adequate placement. My son is still at a school placement that cannot program for him. Mary, Bradley, and Joseph, knew this but still yelled, and belittled, me for not wanting my son placed there. After taking a tour the recommended a facility, it was clear this was not the place for my son. The worker giving the tour had been employed at the recommended school for close to 25 plus years. He told me several times, not to bring my son there that the school would not be able to program for my son in his opinion. Despite my personal observations during the tour, the schools staff member’s recommendation not to bring my son there, and the fact the could not be in compliance with me son’s current iep Montgomery law still recommended I go there and “tie up loose ends” Mary, the yelling swearing fire cracker suggests maybe the employee is disgruntled. SMH They knew my son’s iep says he has to be in a classroom setting with four or less. The recommended school had a classroom size of up to around 7 to 8 students. Of course now, an iep has been scheduled only 4 weeks into the school year to speak About another placement since the current recommended school can’t program for my son. I should not have given into their bullying. Now when I reach out to Montgomery law, I’m told by Mary Montgomery I would have to submit a new request for a new contract with Montgomery law since they no longer represented by the firm since my son’s settlement agreement was complete and my son was placed at a school that cant program for him, Or since they tied up their lose ends and got there money, comp Ed and made a quick placement despite how it would effect my sons future. I sent several emails, but Toni avail. PLEASE DO NOT CHOOSE MONTGOMERY LAW until you read this entire post ! I wouldn’t recommend they represent anyone else’s child!

I am very grateful for all that Bradley and Michael did for me and my grandson, Rafiq. They took charge and guided in the right direction! We will be forever grateful.

BEWARE THEY DON’T CARE! If you really need help for your child keep looking for a different law firm because this firm will not assist you at all. Plus, they may decide to charge you a retainer of $500 although there are attorneys who can easily represent issues as serious as noncompliance without a retainer. Check the procedural safeguards. There are far better advocates & representation for your child. In my case, the District scheduled a meeting & this law office failed to follow through with District, cancelled the District’s meeting without rescheduling & failed to communicate with me at all afterwards. No rescheduled meeting, communication, or advocacy was offered by this firm for my son. I had to do it myself. Nearly a year later Michael, Whom I never dealt with before, contacted me about my son’s situation and spoke to me in a manner both rude and condescending. Michael didn’t have any knowledge whatsoever of facts pertaining to my child’s situation but was obviously told to blame me for a lack of follow through regarding my child’s situation, although I had many emails to the contrary. Regardless, since new issues of noncompliance developed I decided since the firm had information regarding my child dating back two years it might be worthwhile to retain their services for continuity. WRONG!!!Michael was still completely rude and the worst person to speak with when educational injustices were occurring against my child. BEWARE!! This firm completely dropped the ball when the District showed initiative to come to the table the first time around, did not follow up with me, then sent the worst possible representative in their firm my way. Save yourself the headache, heartache, and possible money. This firm, in my child’s case, added to the problem and did nothing to solve anything. I was my child’s biggest advocate and got the most done too. They never did anything. BEWARE THEY DON’T CARE! I am offering this HONEST review as a parent of a child who was being denied his rights to a Free Appropriate Public Education. Aside from being a parent I am also a masters degree certified educator of 19 years in the Philly Public School system. I care about my child and all children.That is why I posted this review.
