Ms. Montes has been the most caring, effective and professional attorney my fiancé and I could have asked for. She is incredible at keeping us informed and communicating with us. She is very well prepared and knows what she is doing. She is by far the most honest, and incredible attorney I have ever worked with. It's easy to communicate and get in contact with her, the moment something happened we would be able to call or email her. Be it a harrassing phone call, text or incident with the other party, she was on top of it. In court she was quick to respond, and knew her facts. Our experience with attorney Montes has been the most wonderful experience and has earned our business or life as well as our full support and endorsement.

Amy represented us in our 3rd court hearing on custody change. We have had 3 other attorneys who were worthless; some freeze in court, while others messed up the paperwork, but charged like they were top notch. In the meanwhile the children suffered. Amy was great in court as well as with procedures and paperwork. She was always prepared, compassionate, and accommodating to our schedule. We feel that her billing was fair. The system is not perfect – your attorney must explain the possible outcomes and prepare you. Amy’s recommendations on documentation for our meeting with the evaluator contributed to our successful outcome. Thank you, Amy! You have a client for life.

My experience with the Montes Law Firm was beyond my expectations. I worked with Amy Montes, Mara Wilkerson and Mary Stopher who is their paralegal on not one, but two family matter cases. Their kindness, respect and full attention to both of my matters is what makes this legal team an incredible source of support and professionalism. Going through these matters can be difficult but Amy always made me feel as if I was her only client. Mind you, she had many others to attend to while working on my case, but to no avail when I called or emailed she or Mara was there to respond immediately. I would HIGHLY recommend this law firm to handle any family matter case as their knowledge of the law and their expertise is what truly brings you peace of mind and ease while navigating through these difficult life situations. Thank you, Montes Law Firm. I will forever be grateful!

This law firm allowed me to move on with my life from a very hectic year and a half. They handled my case so smoothly, professionally, and ethically. The attorney for the other side was dishonest and Ms. Montes and her team handled all of his maneuvers with nothing but finesse and holding the line when necessary, so that he could not do anything when push came to shove to try and eek more money out of the process. I divorce case had a lot of complications and twists and turns because of the nature of the situation, and I was amazed at how this legal team handled each and every twist intern, so that each one of them became a non-issue and we could move forward to reach the very end with success. Speaking of money, all expenses were itemized by the Montes Law Firm, and the interactions were transparent, along with information provided to me, and all of this occurred throughout the entire process. Having experience with other lawyers in the past, this transparency is a rare find and not something to be taken for granted. The team regularly communicated what was going on, what to expect next, and stayed open-minded throughout the entire process to any considerations or concerns that I might have had, based on what I knew about the current situation. Ms. Montes and her her firm are the proper balance of flexibility and toughness. They will get you to the finish line with a big smile on your face! Going through family law proceedings is tricky enough and difficult to navigate as it is, and to add to it, the lawyer with whom I was working before I found this law firm was unprofessional and not honest and eventually had to be fired. I should have done it sooner. Nonetheless, I am super-grateful that I found this law firm! Ms. Montes and her team took care of everything, and what she and her team provided is exactly the kind of support someone going through a messy divorce needs. There was peace of mind, reassurance, and an ethical and honest relationship. There's nothing I would change about the process with them. If I could, I would give their law firm 10 stars. IF YOU ARE GOING THROUGH ANY SORT OF LEGAL PROCESS THAT THIS LAW FIRM HANDLES, CONTACT THEM TODAY! Trust me on this one...you will be VERY GLAD you did. You don't see this kind of professionalism and support every day, especially not in a place like Southern California, which has so many sharks and dishonest people. As in many other professions, there are plenty of crooks when it comes to attorneys (I should know, as my previous attorney for this case was one example, as well as the lawyer for opposing counsel, simply trying to drag out what was already a complicated case, just so that he could obtain more legal fees). But to work with Ms. Montes and her law firm, displaying such integrity, professionalism, and great confidence and support from Day 1 of this very stressful time until the very last signature on the very last document--that's not something you see every day, if at all. Ms. Montes and her team , And I sincerely hope that anyone who reads this review will contact them for assistance with whatever is going on. If your life feels like it is at a standstill because of legal matters pertaining to family law and other issues, I can say without hesitation that they will not only help you to get your life and peace of mind back, but also to move forward with a bright future ahead and dreams for a better life!! Thank you all and God Bless!!!!

Amy is by far the most amazing attorney my fiance and I have ever come across. She has been our attorney on my fiance's child custody case. She turned around an almost impossible situation and today my fiance has custody of his daughter. She never gave up. Listened to us, believed in us and found a way even through the darkest of times. Besides being incredibly capable, she incredibly ethical... which is why we believe she is so well respected in the court system. Her ethical behavior and respected status goes a long way in a system that is peppered with individuals who do not hold themselves to the same high standard. We have referred people to Amy and if you're reading this review, you will not be disappointed if you decide to retain her.

Mrs. Amy Montes was professional, realistic, prompt and thorough. I had previously spoken with, and had paid, two other lawyers​ that were highly rated in Orange Couty Yelp. They were not as good as Amy. ​Third time is a charm I guess. I felt that Amy Montes had my best interests in mind. Realize that divorce/dissolution of marriage is one of the hardest things you will go through in your life. You need to have someone that you trust that has your best interests in mine--not just their own. Attorney's are not free for a reason. I met Amy when she was not in the impressive Irvine office she has now. When a lawyer tells you that you may not actually need to go to court (although the possibility always exists), and gives you real advice based on your situation, trust is earned. I felt like the other two attorneys I spoke with in the area were simply trying to use fear-based​ tactics to get me to sign up. I asked Amy what the best and worst case scenarios were and she was right on the money. She became strong-willed​ in my situation where I may have missed the mark myself. Long story short I ended up retaining Amy on a consultant basis and she gave me real and relevant advice for my situation. This advice provided helped create what was ultimately the possible result for my situation. She saved me tens of thousands of dollars by doing what was right. Amy listened attentively even during weeks when they were busy in court with other cases. Someone from her staff always was in contact and Amy made personal time when necessary to handle my case specifically. I met with her personally several times, multiple emails and phone calls. Not once would I say she was not on top of my case. She noticed several key points that I would have missed that could have been very costly to me. In addition, at no time was Amy ever condescending or belittling--I cannot say that about other Attorney's staff that I encountered. We were able to stay out of court and through Amy's counsel the resolution that I achieved is both fair and beneficial to everyone involved. She is a real person and will tell you the reality, for better or for worse. That is what you need when you are in a challenging situation. Amy exceeded her peers in this area. That is why I recommend her.

I needed their services during a rough time in my life. They helped me get through the mess my ex-wife had created. I always felt like I was strongly represented and in good hands. In my opinion, the outcome of my case was as good as it possibly could have been in my situation. I will definitely contact them if the need arises in the future.

I was dreading hiring a divorce attorney and I had hear horror stories about bad divorce attorneys that just take your money and don't work for your benefit. When I first met Amy, I was not sure she was able to help. But after all her hard work and persistence in getting all of my divorce proceedings and filings (including restraining orders) out of the way, I was so impressed by her and her knowlege of divorce laws. Amy is honest, compassionate, sincere, and very caring and loving too. She is always reachable by phone too and easy to get a hold of. I don't know what I would have gotten from my divorce settlement had she not been my attorney, and Amy really impressed me with all that she did for me. If you are considering a divorce, or need an attorney dealing with family law, don't look for another attorney. Amy is the one and only attorney you will ever need. Her prices are very reasonable and she made all this happen for me for a single mom with three kids.

I worked with Amy on issues my ex wife was contesting. Amy was extremely knowledgeable and helped me through the process. I would highly recommend her firm for any divorce or custody issues. Thank you Amy!!!!

I have referred Ms. Montes to 3 very good friends for family law related matters, and all 3 have given me terrific feedback on their experiences with The Law Offices of Amy M. Montes. They've said that Ms. Montes is extremely knowledgeable, hard working, and puts the needs of her clients above all things.

But to work with Ms. Montes and her law firm, displaying such integrity, professionalism, and great confidence and support from Day 1 of this very stressful time until the very last signature on the very last document--that's not something you see every day, if at all. Ms. Montes and her team , And I sincerely hope that anyone who reads this review will contact them for assistance with whatever is going on. If your life feels like it is at a standstill because of legal matters pertaining to family law and other issues, I can say without hesitation that they will not only help you to get your life and peace of mind back, but also to move forward with a bright future ahead and dreams for a better life!! Thank you all and God Bless!!!!

Amy is by far the most amazing attorney my fiance and I have ever come across. She has been our attorney on my fiance's child custody case. She turned around an almost impossible situation and today my fiance has custody of his daughter. She never gave up. Listened to us, believed in us and found a way even through the darkest of times. Besides being incredibly capable, she incredibly ethical... which is why we believe she is so well respected in the court system. Her ethical behavior and respected status goes a long way in a system that is peppered with individuals who do not hold themselves to the same high standard. We have referred people to Amy and if you're reading this review, you will not be disappointed if you decide to retain her.

Mrs. Amy Montes was professional, realistic, prompt and thorough. I had previously spoken with, and had paid, two other lawyers​ that were highly rated in Orange Couty Yelp. They were not as good as Amy. ​Third time is a charm I guess. I felt that Amy Montes had my best interests in mind. Realize that divorce/dissolution of marriage is one of the hardest things you will go through in your life. You need to have someone that you trust that has your best interests in mine--not just their own. Attorney's are not free for a reason. I met Amy when she was not in the impressive Irvine office she has now. When a lawyer tells you that you may not actually need to go to court (although the possibility always exists), and gives you real advice based on your situation, trust is earned. I felt like the other two attorneys I spoke with in the area were simply trying to use fear-based​ tactics to get me to sign up. I asked Amy what the best and worst case scenarios were and she was right on the money. She became strong-willed​ in my situation where I may have missed the mark myself. Long story short I ended up retaining Amy on a consultant basis and she gave me real and relevant advice for my situation. This advice provided helped create what was ultimately the possible result for my situation. She saved me tens of thousands of dollars by doing what was right. Amy listened attentively even during weeks when they were busy in court with other cases. Someone from her staff always was in contact and Amy made personal time when necessary to handle my case specifically. I met with her personally several times, multiple emails and phone calls. Not once would I say she was not on top of my case. She noticed several key points that I would have missed that could have been very costly to me. In addition, at no time was Amy ever condescending or belittling--I cannot say that about other Attorney's staff that I encountered. We were able to stay out of court and through Amy's counsel the resolution that I achieved is both fair and beneficial to everyone involved. She is a real person and will tell you the reality, for better or for worse. That is what you need when you are in a challenging situation. Amy exceeded her peers in this area. That is why I recommend her.

I needed their services during a rough time in my life. They helped me get through the mess my ex-wife had created. I always felt like I was strongly represented and in good hands. In my opinion, the outcome of my case was as good as it possibly could have been in my situation. I will definitely contact them if the need arises in the future.

I was dreading hiring a divorce attorney and I had hear horror stories about bad divorce attorneys that just take your money and don't work for your benefit. When I first met Amy, I was not sure she was able to help. But after all her hard work and persistence in getting all of my divorce proceedings and filings (including restraining orders) out of the way, I was so impressed by her and her knowlege of divorce laws. Amy is honest, compassionate, sincere, and very caring and loving too. She is always reachable by phone too and easy to get a hold of. I don't know what I would have gotten from my divorce settlement had she not been my attorney, and Amy really impressed me with all that she did for me. If you are considering a divorce, or need an attorney dealing with family law, don't look for another attorney. Amy is the one and only attorney you will ever need. Her prices are very reasonable and she made all this happen for me for a single mom with three kids.

I worked with Amy on issues my ex wife was contesting. Amy was extremely knowledgeable and helped me through the process. I would highly recommend her firm for any divorce or custody issues. Thank you Amy!!!!

I have referred Ms. Montes to 3 very good friends for family law related matters, and all 3 have given me terrific feedback on their experiences with The Law Offices of Amy M. Montes. They've said that Ms. Montes is extremely knowledgeable, hard working, and puts the needs of her clients above all things. They would be happy to have Ms. Montes represent them on any future family law related matters.

Ms. Montes has been the most caring, effective and professional attorney my fiancé and I could have asked for. She is incredible at keeping us informed and communicating with us. She is very well prepared and knows what she is doing. She is by far the most honest, and incredible attorney I have ever worked with. It's easy to communicate and get in contact with her, the moment something happened we would be able to call or email her. Be it a harrassing phone call, text or incident with the other party, she was on top of it. In court she was quick to respond, and knew her facts. Our experience with attorney Montes has been the most wonderful experience and has earned our business or life as well as our full support and endorsement.

Amy represented us in our 3rd court hearing on custody change. We have had 3 other attorneys who were worthless; some freeze in court, while others messed up the paperwork, but charged like they were top notch. In the meanwhile the children suffered. Amy was great in court as well as with procedures and paperwork. She was always prepared, compassionate, and accommodating to our schedule. We feel that her billing was fair. The system is not perfect – your attorney must explain the possible outcomes and prepare you. Amy’s recommendations on documentation for our meeting with the evaluator contributed to our successful outcome. Thank you, Amy! You have a client for life.

My experience with the Montes Law Firm was beyond my expectations. I worked with Amy Montes, Mara Wilkerson and Mary Stopher who is their paralegal on not one, but two family matter cases. Their kindness, respect and full attention to both of my matters is what makes this legal team an incredible source of support and professionalism. Going through these matters can be difficult but Amy always made me feel as if I was her only client. Mind you, she had many others to attend to while working on my case, but to no avail when I called or emailed she or Mara was there to respond immediately. I would HIGHLY recommend this law firm to handle any family matter case as their knowledge of the law and their expertise is what truly brings you peace of mind and ease while navigating through these difficult life situations. Thank you, Montes Law Firm. I will forever be grateful!

This law firm allowed me to move on with my life from a very hectic year and a half. They handled my case so smoothly, professionally, and ethically. The attorney for the other side was dishonest and Ms. Montes and her team handled all of his maneuvers with nothing but finesse and holding the line when necessary, so that he could not do anything when push came to shove to try and eek more money out of the process. I divorce case had a lot of complications and twists and turns because of the nature of the situation, and I was amazed at how this legal team handled each and every twist intern, so that each one of them became a non-issue and we could move forward to reach the very end with success. Speaking of money, all expenses were itemized by the Montes Law Firm, and the interactions were transparent, along with information provided to me, and all of this occurred throughout the entire process. Having experience with other lawyers in the past, this transparency is a rare find and not something to be taken for granted. The team regularly communicated what was going on, what to expect next, and stayed open-minded throughout the entire process to any considerations or concerns that I might have had, based on what I knew about the current situation. Ms. Montes and her her firm are the proper balance of flexibility and toughness. They will get you to the finish line with a big smile on your face! Going through family law proceedings is tricky enough and difficult to navigate as it is, and to add to it, the lawyer with whom I was working before I found this law firm was unprofessional and not honest and eventually had to be fired. I should have done it sooner. Nonetheless, I am super-grateful that I found this law firm! Ms. Montes and her team took care of everything, and what she and her team provided is exactly the kind of support someone going through a messy divorce needs. There was peace of mind, reassurance, and an ethical and honest relationship. There's nothing I would change about the process with them. If I could, I would give their law firm 10 stars. IF YOU ARE GOING THROUGH ANY SORT OF LEGAL PROCESS THAT THIS LAW FIRM HANDLES, CONTACT THEM TODAY! Trust me on this one...you will be VERY GLAD you did. You don't see this kind of professionalism and support every day, especially not in a place like Southern California, which has so many sharks and dishonest people. As in many other professions, there are plenty of crooks when it comes to attorneys (I should know, as my previous attorney for this case was one example, as well as the lawyer for opposing counsel, simply trying to drag out what was already a complicated case, just so that he could obtain more legal fees).

Amy is honest, compassionate, sincere, and very caring and loving too. She is always reachable by phone too and easy to get a hold of. I don't know what I would have gotten from my divorce settlement had she not been my attorney, and Amy really impressed me with all that she did for me. If you are considering a divorce, or need an attorney dealing with family law, don't look for another attorney. Amy is the one and only attorney you will ever need. Her prices are very reasonable and she made all this happen for me for a single mom with three kids.

I worked with Amy on issues my ex wife was contesting. Amy was extremely knowledgeable and helped me through the process. I would highly recommend her firm for any divorce or custody issues. Thank you Amy!!!!

I have referred Ms. Montes to 3 very good friends for family law related matters, and all 3 have given me terrific feedback on their experiences with The Law Offices of Amy M. Montes. They've said that Ms. Montes is extremely knowledgeable, hard working, and puts the needs of her clients above all things. They would be happy to have Ms. Montes represent them on any future family law related matters.

Ms. Montes has been the most caring, effective and professional attorney my fiancé and I could have asked for. She is incredible at keeping us informed and communicating with us. She is very well prepared and knows what she is doing. She is by far the most honest, and incredible attorney I have ever worked with. It's easy to communicate and get in contact with her, the moment something happened we would be able to call or email her. Be it a harrassing phone call, text or incident with the other party, she was on top of it. In court she was quick to respond, and knew her facts. Our experience with attorney Montes has been the most wonderful experience and has earned our business or life as well as our full support and endorsement.

Amy represented us in our 3rd court hearing on custody change. We have had 3 other attorneys who were worthless; some freeze in court, while others messed up the paperwork, but charged like they were top notch. In the meanwhile the children suffered. Amy was great in court as well as with procedures and paperwork. She was always prepared, compassionate, and accommodating to our schedule. We feel that her billing was fair. The system is not perfect – your attorney must explain the possible outcomes and prepare you. Amy’s recommendations on documentation for our meeting with the evaluator contributed to our successful outcome. Thank you, Amy! You have a client for life.

My experience with the Montes Law Firm was beyond my expectations. I worked with Amy Montes, Mara Wilkerson and Mary Stopher who is their paralegal on not one, but two family matter cases. Their kindness, respect and full attention to both of my matters is what makes this legal team an incredible source of support and professionalism. Going through these matters can be difficult but Amy always made me feel as if I was her only client. Mind you, she had many others to attend to while working on my case, but to no avail when I called or emailed she or Mara was there to respond immediately. I would HIGHLY recommend this law firm to handle any family matter case as their knowledge of the law and their expertise is what truly brings you peace of mind and ease while navigating through these difficult life situations. Thank you, Montes Law Firm. I will forever be grateful!

This law firm allowed me to move on with my life from a very hectic year and a half. They handled my case so smoothly, professionally, and ethically. The attorney for the other side was dishonest and Ms. Montes and her team handled all of his maneuvers with nothing but finesse and holding the line when necessary, so that he could not do anything when push came to shove to try and eek more money out of the process. I divorce case had a lot of complications and twists and turns because of the nature of the situation, and I was amazed at how this legal team handled each and every twist intern, so that each one of them became a non-issue and we could move forward to reach the very end with success. Speaking of money, all expenses were itemized by the Montes Law Firm, and the interactions were transparent, along with information provided to me, and all of this occurred throughout the entire process. Having experience with other lawyers in the past, this transparency is a rare find and not something to be taken for granted. The team regularly communicated what was going on, what to expect next, and stayed open-minded throughout the entire process to any considerations or concerns that I might have had, based on what I knew about the current situation. Ms. Montes and her her firm are the proper balance of flexibility and toughness. They will get you to the finish line with a big smile on your face! Going through family law proceedings is tricky enough and difficult to navigate as it is, and to add to it, the lawyer with whom I was working before I found this law firm was unprofessional and not honest and eventually had to be fired. I should have done it sooner. Nonetheless, I am super-grateful that I found this law firm! Ms. Montes and her team took care of everything, and what she and her team provided is exactly the kind of support someone going through a messy divorce needs. There was peace of mind, reassurance, and an ethical and honest relationship. There's nothing I would change about the process with them. If I could, I would give their law firm 10 stars. IF YOU ARE GOING THROUGH ANY SORT OF LEGAL PROCESS THAT THIS LAW FIRM HANDLES, CONTACT THEM TODAY! Trust me on this one...you will be VERY GLAD you did. You don't see this kind of professionalism and support every day, especially not in a place like Southern California, which has so many sharks and dishonest people. As in many other professions, there are plenty of crooks when it comes to attorneys (I should know, as my previous attorney for this case was one example, as well as the lawyer for opposing counsel, simply trying to drag out what was already a complicated case, just so that he could obtain more legal fees). But to work with Ms. Montes and her law firm, displaying such integrity, professionalism, and great confidence and support from Day 1 of this very stressful time until the very last signature on the very last document--that's not something you see every day, if at all. Ms. Montes and her team , And I sincerely hope that anyone who reads this review will contact them for assistance with whatever is going on. If your life feels like it is at a standstill because of legal matters pertaining to family law and other issues, I can say without hesitation that they will not only help you to get your life and peace of mind back, but also to move forward with a bright future ahead and dreams for a better life!! Thank you all and God Bless!!!!

Amy is by far the most amazing attorney my fiance and I have ever come across. She has been our attorney on my fiance's child custody case. She turned around an almost impossible situation and today my fiance has custody of his daughter. She never gave up. Listened to us, believed in us and found a way even through the darkest of times. Besides being incredibly capable, she incredibly ethical... which is why we believe she is so well respected in the court system. Her ethical behavior and respected status goes a long way in a system that is peppered with individuals who do not hold themselves to the same high standard. We have referred people to Amy and if you're reading this review, you will not be disappointed if you decide to retain her.

Mrs. Amy Montes was professional, realistic, prompt and thorough. I had previously spoken with, and had paid, two other lawyers​ that were highly rated in Orange Couty Yelp. They were not as good as Amy. ​Third time is a charm I guess. I felt that Amy Montes had my best interests in mind. Realize that divorce/dissolution of marriage is one of the hardest things you will go through in your life. You need to have someone that you trust that has your best interests in mine--not just their own. Attorney's are not free for a reason. I met Amy when she was not in the impressive Irvine office she has now. When a lawyer tells you that you may not actually need to go to court (although the possibility always exists), and gives you real advice based on your situation, trust is earned. I felt like the other two attorneys I spoke with in the area were simply trying to use fear-based​ tactics to get me to sign up. I asked Amy what the best and worst case scenarios were and she was right on the money. She became strong-willed​ in my situation where I may have missed the mark myself. Long story short I ended up retaining Amy on a consultant basis and she gave me real and relevant advice for my situation. This advice provided helped create what was ultimately the possible result for my situation. She saved me tens of thousands of dollars by doing what was right. Amy listened attentively even during weeks when they were busy in court with other cases. Someone from her staff always was in contact and Amy made personal time when necessary to handle my case specifically. I met with her personally several times, multiple emails and phone calls. Not once would I say she was not on top of my case. She noticed several key points that I would have missed that could have been very costly to me. In addition, at no time was Amy ever condescending or belittling--I cannot say that about other Attorney's staff that I encountered. We were able to stay out of court and through Amy's counsel the resolution that I achieved is both fair and beneficial to everyone involved. She is a real person and will tell you the reality, for better or for worse. That is what you need when you are in a challenging situation. Amy exceeded her peers in this area. That is why I recommend her.

I needed their services during a rough time in my life. They helped me get through the mess my ex-wife had created. I always felt like I was strongly represented and in good hands. In my opinion, the outcome of my case was as good as it possibly could have been in my situation. I will definitely contact them if the need arises in the future.

I was dreading hiring a divorce attorney and I had hear horror stories about bad divorce attorneys that just take your money and don't work for your benefit. When I first met Amy, I was not sure she was able to help. But after all her hard work and persistence in getting all of my divorce proceedings and filings (including restraining orders) out of the way, I was so impressed by her and her knowlege of divorce laws.

Going through family law proceedings is tricky enough and difficult to navigate as it is, and to add to it, the lawyer with whom I was working before I found this law firm was unprofessional and not honest and eventually had to be fired. I should have done it sooner. Nonetheless, I am super-grateful that I found this law firm! Ms. Montes and her team took care of everything, and what she and her team provided is exactly the kind of support someone going through a messy divorce needs. There was peace of mind, reassurance, and an ethical and honest relationship. There's nothing I would change about the process with them. If I could, I would give their law firm 10 stars. IF YOU ARE GOING THROUGH ANY SORT OF LEGAL PROCESS THAT THIS LAW FIRM HANDLES, CONTACT THEM TODAY! Trust me on this one...you will be VERY GLAD you did. You don't see this kind of professionalism and support every day, especially not in a place like Southern California, which has so many sharks and dishonest people. As in many other professions, there are plenty of crooks when it comes to attorneys (I should know, as my previous attorney for this case was one example, as well as the lawyer for opposing counsel, simply trying to drag out what was already a complicated case, just so that he could obtain more legal fees). But to work with Ms. Montes and her law firm, displaying such integrity, professionalism, and great confidence and support from Day 1 of this very stressful time until the very last signature on the very last document--that's not something you see every day, if at all. Ms. Montes and her team , And I sincerely hope that anyone who reads this review will contact them for assistance with whatever is going on. If your life feels like it is at a standstill because of legal matters pertaining to family law and other issues, I can say without hesitation that they will not only help you to get your life and peace of mind back, but also to move forward with a bright future ahead and dreams for a better life!! Thank you all and God Bless!!!!

Amy is by far the most amazing attorney my fiance and I have ever come across. She has been our attorney on my fiance's child custody case. She turned around an almost impossible situation and today my fiance has custody of his daughter. She never gave up. Listened to us, believed in us and found a way even through the darkest of times. Besides being incredibly capable, she incredibly ethical... which is why we believe she is so well respected in the court system. Her ethical behavior and respected status goes a long way in a system that is peppered with individuals who do not hold themselves to the same high standard. We have referred people to Amy and if you're reading this review, you will not be disappointed if you decide to retain her.

Mrs. Amy Montes was professional, realistic, prompt and thorough. I had previously spoken with, and had paid, two other lawyers​ that were highly rated in Orange Couty Yelp. They were not as good as Amy. ​Third time is a charm I guess. I felt that Amy Montes had my best interests in mind. Realize that divorce/dissolution of marriage is one of the hardest things you will go through in your life. You need to have someone that you trust that has your best interests in mine--not just their own. Attorney's are not free for a reason. I met Amy when she was not in the impressive Irvine office she has now. When a lawyer tells you that you may not actually need to go to court (although the possibility always exists), and gives you real advice based on your situation, trust is earned. I felt like the other two attorneys I spoke with in the area were simply trying to use fear-based​ tactics to get me to sign up. I asked Amy what the best and worst case scenarios were and she was right on the money. She became strong-willed​ in my situation where I may have missed the mark myself. Long story short I ended up retaining Amy on a consultant basis and she gave me real and relevant advice for my situation. This advice provided helped create what was ultimately the possible result for my situation. She saved me tens of thousands of dollars by doing what was right. Amy listened attentively even during weeks when they were busy in court with other cases. Someone from her staff always was in contact and Amy made personal time when necessary to handle my case specifically. I met with her personally several times, multiple emails and phone calls. Not once would I say she was not on top of my case. She noticed several key points that I would have missed that could have been very costly to me. In addition, at no time was Amy ever condescending or belittling--I cannot say that about other Attorney's staff that I encountered. We were able to stay out of court and through Amy's counsel the resolution that I achieved is both fair and beneficial to everyone involved. She is a real person and will tell you the reality, for better or for worse. That is what you need when you are in a challenging situation. Amy exceeded her peers in this area. That is why I recommend her.

I needed their services during a rough time in my life. They helped me get through the mess my ex-wife had created. I always felt like I was strongly represented and in good hands. In my opinion, the outcome of my case was as good as it possibly could have been in my situation. I will definitely contact them if the need arises in the future.

I was dreading hiring a divorce attorney and I had hear horror stories about bad divorce attorneys that just take your money and don't work for your benefit. When I first met Amy, I was not sure she was able to help. But after all her hard work and persistence in getting all of my divorce proceedings and filings (including restraining orders) out of the way, I was so impressed by her and her knowlege of divorce laws. Amy is honest, compassionate, sincere, and very caring and loving too. She is always reachable by phone too and easy to get a hold of. I don't know what I would have gotten from my divorce settlement had she not been my attorney, and Amy really impressed me with all that she did for me. If you are considering a divorce, or need an attorney dealing with family law, don't look for another attorney. Amy is the one and only attorney you will ever need. Her prices are very reasonable and she made all this happen for me for a single mom with three kids.

I worked with Amy on issues my ex wife was contesting. Amy was extremely knowledgeable and helped me through the process. I would highly recommend her firm for any divorce or custody issues. Thank you Amy!!!!

I have referred Ms. Montes to 3 very good friends for family law related matters, and all 3 have given me terrific feedback on their experiences with The Law Offices of Amy M. Montes. They've said that Ms. Montes is extremely knowledgeable, hard working, and puts the needs of her clients above all things. They would be happy to have Ms. Montes represent them on any future family law related matters.

Ms. Montes has been the most caring, effective and professional attorney my fiancé and I could have asked for. She is incredible at keeping us informed and communicating with us. She is very well prepared and knows what she is doing. She is by far the most honest, and incredible attorney I have ever worked with. It's easy to communicate and get in contact with her, the moment something happened we would be able to call or email her. Be it a harrassing phone call, text or incident with the other party, she was on top of it. In court she was quick to respond, and knew her facts. Our experience with attorney Montes has been the most wonderful experience and has earned our business or life as well as our full support and endorsement.

Amy represented us in our 3rd court hearing on custody change. We have had 3 other attorneys who were worthless; some freeze in court, while others messed up the paperwork, but charged like they were top notch. In the meanwhile the children suffered. Amy was great in court as well as with procedures and paperwork. She was always prepared, compassionate, and accommodating to our schedule. We feel that her billing was fair. The system is not perfect – your attorney must explain the possible outcomes and prepare you. Amy’s recommendations on documentation for our meeting with the evaluator contributed to our successful outcome. Thank you, Amy! You have a client for life.

My experience with the Montes Law Firm was beyond my expectations. I worked with Amy Montes, Mara Wilkerson and Mary Stopher who is their paralegal on not one, but two family matter cases. Their kindness, respect and full attention to both of my matters is what makes this legal team an incredible source of support and professionalism. Going through these matters can be difficult but Amy always made me feel as if I was her only client. Mind you, she had many others to attend to while working on my case, but to no avail when I called or emailed she or Mara was there to respond immediately. I would HIGHLY recommend this law firm to handle any family matter case as their knowledge of the law and their expertise is what truly brings you peace of mind and ease while navigating through these difficult life situations. Thank you, Montes Law Firm. I will forever be grateful!

This law firm allowed me to move on with my life from a very hectic year and a half. They handled my case so smoothly, professionally, and ethically. The attorney for the other side was dishonest and Ms. Montes and her team handled all of his maneuvers with nothing but finesse and holding the line when necessary, so that he could not do anything when push came to shove to try and eek more money out of the process. I divorce case had a lot of complications and twists and turns because of the nature of the situation, and I was amazed at how this legal team handled each and every twist intern, so that each one of them became a non-issue and we could move forward to reach the very end with success. Speaking of money, all expenses were itemized by the Montes Law Firm, and the interactions were transparent, along with information provided to me, and all of this occurred throughout the entire process. Having experience with other lawyers in the past, this transparency is a rare find and not something to be taken for granted. The team regularly communicated what was going on, what to expect next, and stayed open-minded throughout the entire process to any considerations or concerns that I might have had, based on what I knew about the current situation. Ms. Montes and her her firm are the proper balance of flexibility and toughness. They will get you to the finish line with a big smile on your face!

We were able to stay out of court and through Amy's counsel the resolution that I achieved is both fair and beneficial to everyone involved. She is a real person and will tell you the reality, for better or for worse. That is what you need when you are in a challenging situation. Amy exceeded her peers in this area. That is why I recommend her.

I needed their services during a rough time in my life. They helped me get through the mess my ex-wife had created. I always felt like I was strongly represented and in good hands. In my opinion, the outcome of my case was as good as it possibly could have been in my situation. I will definitely contact them if the need arises in the future.

I was dreading hiring a divorce attorney and I had hear horror stories about bad divorce attorneys that just take your money and don't work for your benefit. When I first met Amy, I was not sure she was able to help. But after all her hard work and persistence in getting all of my divorce proceedings and filings (including restraining orders) out of the way, I was so impressed by her and her knowlege of divorce laws. Amy is honest, compassionate, sincere, and very caring and loving too. She is always reachable by phone too and easy to get a hold of. I don't know what I would have gotten from my divorce settlement had she not been my attorney, and Amy really impressed me with all that she did for me. If you are considering a divorce, or need an attorney dealing with family law, don't look for another attorney. Amy is the one and only attorney you will ever need. Her prices are very reasonable and she made all this happen for me for a single mom with three kids.

I worked with Amy on issues my ex wife was contesting. Amy was extremely knowledgeable and helped me through the process. I would highly recommend her firm for any divorce or custody issues. Thank you Amy!!!!

I have referred Ms. Montes to 3 very good friends for family law related matters, and all 3 have given me terrific feedback on their experiences with The Law Offices of Amy M. Montes. They've said that Ms. Montes is extremely knowledgeable, hard working, and puts the needs of her clients above all things. They would be happy to have Ms. Montes represent them on any future family law related matters.

Ms. Montes has been the most caring, effective and professional attorney my fiancé and I could have asked for. She is incredible at keeping us informed and communicating with us. She is very well prepared and knows what she is doing. She is by far the most honest, and incredible attorney I have ever worked with. It's easy to communicate and get in contact with her, the moment something happened we would be able to call or email her. Be it a harrassing phone call, text or incident with the other party, she was on top of it. In court she was quick to respond, and knew her facts. Our experience with attorney Montes has been the most wonderful experience and has earned our business or life as well as our full support and endorsement.

Amy represented us in our 3rd court hearing on custody change. We have had 3 other attorneys who were worthless; some freeze in court, while others messed up the paperwork, but charged like they were top notch. In the meanwhile the children suffered. Amy was great in court as well as with procedures and paperwork. She was always prepared, compassionate, and accommodating to our schedule. We feel that her billing was fair. The system is not perfect – your attorney must explain the possible outcomes and prepare you. Amy’s recommendations on documentation for our meeting with the evaluator contributed to our successful outcome. Thank you, Amy! You have a client for life.

My experience with the Montes Law Firm was beyond my expectations. I worked with Amy Montes, Mara Wilkerson and Mary Stopher who is their paralegal on not one, but two family matter cases. Their kindness, respect and full attention to both of my matters is what makes this legal team an incredible source of support and professionalism. Going through these matters can be difficult but Amy always made me feel as if I was her only client. Mind you, she had many others to attend to while working on my case, but to no avail when I called or emailed she or Mara was there to respond immediately. I would HIGHLY recommend this law firm to handle any family matter case as their knowledge of the law and their expertise is what truly brings you peace of mind and ease while navigating through these difficult life situations. Thank you, Montes Law Firm. I will forever be grateful!

This law firm allowed me to move on with my life from a very hectic year and a half. They handled my case so smoothly, professionally, and ethically. The attorney for the other side was dishonest and Ms. Montes and her team handled all of his maneuvers with nothing but finesse and holding the line when necessary, so that he could not do anything when push came to shove to try and eek more money out of the process. I divorce case had a lot of complications and twists and turns because of the nature of the situation, and I was amazed at how this legal team handled each and every twist intern, so that each one of them became a non-issue and we could move forward to reach the very end with success. Speaking of money, all expenses were itemized by the Montes Law Firm, and the interactions were transparent, along with information provided to me, and all of this occurred throughout the entire process. Having experience with other lawyers in the past, this transparency is a rare find and not something to be taken for granted. The team regularly communicated what was going on, what to expect next, and stayed open-minded throughout the entire process to any considerations or concerns that I might have had, based on what I knew about the current situation. Ms. Montes and her her firm are the proper balance of flexibility and toughness. They will get you to the finish line with a big smile on your face! Going through family law proceedings is tricky enough and difficult to navigate as it is, and to add to it, the lawyer with whom I was working before I found this law firm was unprofessional and not honest and eventually had to be fired. I should have done it sooner. Nonetheless, I am super-grateful that I found this law firm! Ms. Montes and her team took care of everything, and what she and her team provided is exactly the kind of support someone going through a messy divorce needs. There was peace of mind, reassurance, and an ethical and honest relationship. There's nothing I would change about the process with them. If I could, I would give their law firm 10 stars. IF YOU ARE GOING THROUGH ANY SORT OF LEGAL PROCESS THAT THIS LAW FIRM HANDLES, CONTACT THEM TODAY! Trust me on this one...you will be VERY GLAD you did. You don't see this kind of professionalism and support every day, especially not in a place like Southern California, which has so many sharks and dishonest people. As in many other professions, there are plenty of crooks when it comes to attorneys (I should know, as my previous attorney for this case was one example, as well as the lawyer for opposing counsel, simply trying to drag out what was already a complicated case, just so that he could obtain more legal fees). But to work with Ms. Montes and her law firm, displaying such integrity, professionalism, and great confidence and support from Day 1 of this very stressful time until the very last signature on the very last document--that's not something you see every day, if at all. Ms. Montes and her team , And I sincerely hope that anyone who reads this review will contact them for assistance with whatever is going on. If your life feels like it is at a standstill because of legal matters pertaining to family law and other issues, I can say without hesitation that they will not only help you to get your life and peace of mind back, but also to move forward with a bright future ahead and dreams for a better life!! Thank you all and God Bless!!!!

Amy is by far the most amazing attorney my fiance and I have ever come across. She has been our attorney on my fiance's child custody case. She turned around an almost impossible situation and today my fiance has custody of his daughter. She never gave up. Listened to us, believed in us and found a way even through the darkest of times. Besides being incredibly capable, she incredibly ethical... which is why we believe she is so well respected in the court system. Her ethical behavior and respected status goes a long way in a system that is peppered with individuals who do not hold themselves to the same high standard. We have referred people to Amy and if you're reading this review, you will not be disappointed if you decide to retain her.

Mrs. Amy Montes was professional, realistic, prompt and thorough. I had previously spoken with, and had paid, two other lawyers​ that were highly rated in Orange Couty Yelp. They were not as good as Amy. ​Third time is a charm I guess. I felt that Amy Montes had my best interests in mind. Realize that divorce/dissolution of marriage is one of the hardest things you will go through in your life. You need to have someone that you trust that has your best interests in mine--not just their own. Attorney's are not free for a reason. I met Amy when she was not in the impressive Irvine office she has now. When a lawyer tells you that you may not actually need to go to court (although the possibility always exists), and gives you real advice based on your situation, trust is earned. I felt like the other two attorneys I spoke with in the area were simply trying to use fear-based​ tactics to get me to sign up. I asked Amy what the best and worst case scenarios were and she was right on the money. She became strong-willed​ in my situation where I may have missed the mark myself. Long story short I ended up retaining Amy on a consultant basis and she gave me real and relevant advice for my situation. This advice provided helped create what was ultimately the possible result for my situation. She saved me tens of thousands of dollars by doing what was right. Amy listened attentively even during weeks when they were busy in court with other cases. Someone from her staff always was in contact and Amy made personal time when necessary to handle my case specifically. I met with her personally several times, multiple emails and phone calls. Not once would I say she was not on top of my case. She noticed several key points that I would have missed that could have been very costly to me. In addition, at no time was Amy ever condescending or belittling--I cannot say that about other Attorney's staff that I encountered.

The attorney for the other side was dishonest and Ms. Montes and her team handled all of his maneuvers with nothing but finesse and holding the line when necessary, so that he could not do anything when push came to shove to try and eek more money out of the process. I divorce case had a lot of complications and twists and turns because of the nature of the situation, and I was amazed at how this legal team handled each and every twist intern, so that each one of them became a non-issue and we could move forward to reach the very end with success. Speaking of money, all expenses were itemized by the Montes Law Firm, and the interactions were transparent, along with information provided to me, and all of this occurred throughout the entire process. Having experience with other lawyers in the past, this transparency is a rare find and not something to be taken for granted. The team regularly communicated what was going on, what to expect next, and stayed open-minded throughout the entire process to any considerations or concerns that I might have had, based on what I knew about the current situation. Ms. Montes and her her firm are the proper balance of flexibility and toughness. They will get you to the finish line with a big smile on your face! Going through family law proceedings is tricky enough and difficult to navigate as it is, and to add to it, the lawyer with whom I was working before I found this law firm was unprofessional and not honest and eventually had to be fired. I should have done it sooner. Nonetheless, I am super-grateful that I found this law firm! Ms. Montes and her team took care of everything, and what she and her team provided is exactly the kind of support someone going through a messy divorce needs. There was peace of mind, reassurance, and an ethical and honest relationship. There's nothing I would change about the process with them. If I could, I would give their law firm 10 stars. IF YOU ARE GOING THROUGH ANY SORT OF LEGAL PROCESS THAT THIS LAW FIRM HANDLES, CONTACT THEM TODAY! Trust me on this one...you will be VERY GLAD you did. You don't see this kind of professionalism and support every day, especially not in a place like Southern California, which has so many sharks and dishonest people. As in many other professions, there are plenty of crooks when it comes to attorneys (I should know, as my previous attorney for this case was one example, as well as the lawyer for opposing counsel, simply trying to drag out what was already a complicated case, just so that he could obtain more legal fees). But to work with Ms. Montes and her law firm, displaying such integrity, professionalism, and great confidence and support from Day 1 of this very stressful time until the very last signature on the very last document--that's not something you see every day, if at all. Ms. Montes and her team , And I sincerely hope that anyone who reads this review will contact them for assistance with whatever is going on. If your life feels like it is at a standstill because of legal matters pertaining to family law and other issues, I can say without hesitation that they will not only help you to get your life and peace of mind back, but also to move forward with a bright future ahead and dreams for a better life!! Thank you all and God Bless!!!!

Amy is by far the most amazing attorney my fiance and I have ever come across. She has been our attorney on my fiance's child custody case. She turned around an almost impossible situation and today my fiance has custody of his daughter. She never gave up. Listened to us, believed in us and found a way even through the darkest of times. Besides being incredibly capable, she incredibly ethical... which is why we believe she is so well respected in the court system. Her ethical behavior and respected status goes a long way in a system that is peppered with individuals who do not hold themselves to the same high standard. We have referred people to Amy and if you're reading this review, you will not be disappointed if you decide to retain her.

Mrs. Amy Montes was professional, realistic, prompt and thorough. I had previously spoken with, and had paid, two other lawyers​ that were highly rated in Orange Couty Yelp. They were not as good as Amy. ​Third time is a charm I guess. I felt that Amy Montes had my best interests in mind. Realize that divorce/dissolution of marriage is one of the hardest things you will go through in your life. You need to have someone that you trust that has your best interests in mine--not just their own. Attorney's are not free for a reason. I met Amy when she was not in the impressive Irvine office she has now. When a lawyer tells you that you may not actually need to go to court (although the possibility always exists), and gives you real advice based on your situation, trust is earned. I felt like the other two attorneys I spoke with in the area were simply trying to use fear-based​ tactics to get me to sign up. I asked Amy what the best and worst case scenarios were and she was right on the money. She became strong-willed​ in my situation where I may have missed the mark myself. Long story short I ended up retaining Amy on a consultant basis and she gave me real and relevant advice for my situation. This advice provided helped create what was ultimately the possible result for my situation. She saved me tens of thousands of dollars by doing what was right. Amy listened attentively even during weeks when they were busy in court with other cases. Someone from her staff always was in contact and Amy made personal time when necessary to handle my case specifically. I met with her personally several times, multiple emails and phone calls. Not once would I say she was not on top of my case. She noticed several key points that I would have missed that could have been very costly to me. In addition, at no time was Amy ever condescending or belittling--I cannot say that about other Attorney's staff that I encountered. We were able to stay out of court and through Amy's counsel the resolution that I achieved is both fair and beneficial to everyone involved. She is a real person and will tell you the reality, for better or for worse. That is what you need when you are in a challenging situation. Amy exceeded her peers in this area. That is why I recommend her.

I needed their services during a rough time in my life. They helped me get through the mess my ex-wife had created. I always felt like I was strongly represented and in good hands. In my opinion, the outcome of my case was as good as it possibly could have been in my situation. I will definitely contact them if the need arises in the future.

I was dreading hiring a divorce attorney and I had hear horror stories about bad divorce attorneys that just take your money and don't work for your benefit. When I first met Amy, I was not sure she was able to help. But after all her hard work and persistence in getting all of my divorce proceedings and filings (including restraining orders) out of the way, I was so impressed by her and her knowlege of divorce laws. Amy is honest, compassionate, sincere, and very caring and loving too. She is always reachable by phone too and easy to get a hold of. I don't know what I would have gotten from my divorce settlement had she not been my attorney, and Amy really impressed me with all that she did for me. If you are considering a divorce, or need an attorney dealing with family law, don't look for another attorney. Amy is the one and only attorney you will ever need. Her prices are very reasonable and she made all this happen for me for a single mom with three kids.

I worked with Amy on issues my ex wife was contesting. Amy was extremely knowledgeable and helped me through the process. I would highly recommend her firm for any divorce or custody issues. Thank you Amy!!!!

I have referred Ms. Montes to 3 very good friends for family law related matters, and all 3 have given me terrific feedback on their experiences with The Law Offices of Amy M. Montes. They've said that Ms. Montes is extremely knowledgeable, hard working, and puts the needs of her clients above all things. They would be happy to have Ms. Montes represent them on any future family law related matters.

Ms. Montes has been the most caring, effective and professional attorney my fiancé and I could have asked for. She is incredible at keeping us informed and communicating with us. She is very well prepared and knows what she is doing. She is by far the most honest, and incredible attorney I have ever worked with. It's easy to communicate and get in contact with her, the moment something happened we would be able to call or email her. Be it a harrassing phone call, text or incident with the other party, she was on top of it. In court she was quick to respond, and knew her facts. Our experience with attorney Montes has been the most wonderful experience and has earned our business or life as well as our full support and endorsement.

Amy represented us in our 3rd court hearing on custody change. We have had 3 other attorneys who were worthless; some freeze in court, while others messed up the paperwork, but charged like they were top notch. In the meanwhile the children suffered. Amy was great in court as well as with procedures and paperwork. She was always prepared, compassionate, and accommodating to our schedule. We feel that her billing was fair. The system is not perfect – your attorney must explain the possible outcomes and prepare you. Amy’s recommendations on documentation for our meeting with the evaluator contributed to our successful outcome. Thank you, Amy! You have a client for life.

My experience with the Montes Law Firm was beyond my expectations. I worked with Amy Montes, Mara Wilkerson and Mary Stopher who is their paralegal on not one, but two family matter cases. Their kindness, respect and full attention to both of my matters is what makes this legal team an incredible source of support and professionalism. Going through these matters can be difficult but Amy always made me feel as if I was her only client. Mind you, she had many others to attend to while working on my case, but to no avail when I called or emailed she or Mara was there to respond immediately. I would HIGHLY recommend this law firm to handle any family matter case as their knowledge of the law and their expertise is what truly brings you peace of mind and ease while navigating through these difficult life situations. Thank you, Montes Law Firm. I will forever be grateful!
