Ms. Montgomery is an exceptional attorney. She knows the law and is confident and results driven. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome for my case. Thank you!

I am deeply grateful for the exceptional legal representation I received from Ms. Stephanie Montgomery during my recently completed complex divorce process. Stephanie not only managed to secure a marital settlement agreement but also avoided the stress and financial burden of a prolonged courtroom battle. She had previously efficiently arranged a custody and visitation agreement early in the process, which was approved after the initial court hearing for child custody, visitation and support — but before an already-scheduled full hearing was needed. This strategic and proactive approach allowed me to focus on rebuilding my life and career, confident in the knowledge that I had a highly competent and compassionate attorney handling my case. If you're facing a difficult family law issue and need someone who can deliver results while minimizing conflict, Ms. Stephanie Montgomery is the attorney you want by your side.

...My research post sudden-need for divorce representation led to a consult w/well-regarded by peers, well-reviewed Ms. Jennifer Fox in Richmond, VA. Charisma and intellectual gravitas was my immediate impression. I made my "case"/communicated the financial groundwork from my dozen documents in hand. Ms. Fox was patient, then informative, relating the legal parameters for seperation leading to divorce, "amicable" or otherwise. Consumately professional, she intimated that I may be better served by Ms. Stephanie A. Montgomery, an attorney with a powerful skillset in divorce law, combined with passion and compassion regarding the protection and care of her clients. Ms. Fox had worked alongside Ms. Montgomery, and explained her advocacy also due to my divorce occuring geographically being in her jurisdiction, in case "amicable" went sideways, and local court apearences became neccesary. (meaning billable costs of travel-time for Ms. Fox to Williamsburg should be considered a factor) Ms. Fox "suggested" I speak less..let Ms. Montgomery's own professional intellectual agility do me the most service. ( This turned out to be great advice personally and professionally) Second consult appointment happened in few days. ...Thankfully, the 5 minute drive to Ms. Montgomery's location was a relief, and her office desk staff and paralegal were warm and cordial, in minutes, Ms. Montgomery escoted me to her adjacent office. I experienced a wave of relief, that "you're right were you're supposed to be" in that moment, her prescence/vibe, vocal tone and impression on point...effortlessly. I comfortably listened as the facts and "game-board" were confirmed. My then wife had retained counsel some months ago, and had produced a financial spreadsheet and preliminary legal agreement Stephanie could analyze for their intent and stategy. There were several terms/demands not even legally appropriate involving shared married expenses, even in the face of opposing party's superior income and net worth. Ms.Montgomery then began the process to "qualify" my wants/needs/intent. Within minutes she had formed a viable counter-proposal to return to opposing council and client. I left relieved and finally in posiitive spirits. My situation required a few office visits for signatures on dox, I was efficiently updated by Keidra A. Frazier, Ms. Montgomery's paralegal. It was always so pleasant to visit, to see the staff and get the ear of Stephanie on occasion, asking advice on this or that (home for sale deed was in wife's name)...the trust she inpires is priceless itself. Finally got the decree last week (court slog thru the holiday calendar)...I will continue to Sing Her Praise throughout the Land. Cheers, G.X.Fox

Ms. Montgomery was recommend to me by half a dozen friends when I asked for a good divorce lawyer. I knew my divorce would be contested by my ex-wife. Stephanie did not disappoint. Her vast knowledge of divorce law and her experience plowed through all of my ex-wife's attempts at delaying the divorce. My ex-wife used multiple attorneys to try and get more than her fair share of assets. Ms. Montgomery knew exactly how to use her licensing, courtroom experience, and litigation knowledge to thwart every attempt made to further delay the divorce or gain an unfair share of assets. I'm happy that I chose Ms. Montgomery to represent me and I highly recommend her to anyone going through a highly contested divorce.  - Dan

I have had several attorneys in the past and no one compares to Ms. Montgomery. She listened to what I needed for my Custody/Visitation and Child Support cases, and got it done! Hands down recommend!!

She is such a methodical thinker, thinking 10 steps ahead. Very matter of fact, the type of traits you want in a lawyer.

Before I met Ms Montgomery, I had already wasted thousands of dollars on a previous divorce attorney. Ms Montgomery got on my case quickly and not only is she tackling my divorce, but she also got me full, sole, legal custody of both of my kids. Anyone who knows about the state of Virginia, knows that's very hard to do. I have been very pleased with her knowledge and confidence. She cares for her clients and fights for the best results possible. Retaining her was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Thank you Ms Montgomery. I am forever grateful.

My former girlfriend would not give me back my personal belongings. After 7 months of frustration, I contacted Stephanie Montgomery for HELP. She listened intently and showed a high level of caring for my situation. She took action and within 4 weeks I got all my belongings back. Thank you so much!!!!

Divorce is a very stressful and intimidating process. After meeting with Ms. Montgomery, she asked numerous questions and left no stone unturned. At the end of the initial meeting, she simply said..."I got this." She wasn't kidding. She took a very complex and tedious process and worked every detail. It was such a piece of mind knowing she was running screen on my behalf. Bottom line...a total pro! DW

When I sat down with Mrs. Montgomery, to discuss whether she would take me as a client for my upcoming divorce, I found that she was easy to talk to and she explained the divorce process to me in detail. During our conversation she projected a sense of strength and confidence that convinced me she was the right attorney for my divorce. I hired her on the spot. Mrs. Montgomery steadfastly represented my interests and my position in the court room. She brilliantly countered all the nonsense claims from my ex-wife and kept the case about the facts. I highly recommend Mrs. Montgomery as an attorney for the following reason, she took charge of my case and didn’t allow the opposing side to get an upper hand, represented my interests, and used her expert knowledge of the legal system to keep the opposing side in check. Furthermore, Mrs. Montgomery kept me informed on any issues that may impact my case, she is very professional, and has a very pleasant demeanor. If you are looking for a lawyer in Williamsburg or York County give Stephanie Montgomery a chance to help you with your legal issues.

Stephanie and her paralegal, Keidra, were nothing short of professional in dealing with my situation. Their consideration, kindness, and professionalism went far above anything I would have ever expected considering the circumstances. The level of trust, honesty and personal attention I received was beyond appreciated. Stephanie will tell it like it is so there's no "beating around the bush" with her. She's extremely educated, perceptive and experienced when dealing with a variety of individuals. I cannot ever begin to express my gratitude to Stephanie and Keidra. Blessed was I to have these phenomenal women enter my life as I was going through hell.

She is a excellent the best in Williamsburg I would work with her again and again
