We sat through a long hearing in awe really of how in control Joseph was. He seriously made the school's lawyers look like 1st year chumps. It felt so good to see the lying teachers on the stand being beaten up by Joe. Wish I filmed the hearing, I would watch it again and again. Not kidding when they say, "Teaching schools a Lesson," They really do

Thank you!

Our family is eternally grateful for the miracles performed by Joseph and his team. If you are reading this and you have been at odds with your school you know what a helpless battle it feels like. Don't wait any longer. Call them now, you need Montgomery Law on your side. Joe, expect a Christmas card from our family every year, forever!

The process with Montgomery Law has been amazing. This was all new to me and they have been extremely professional. Everything was explained to be and I would refer anyone and everyone to them. They really are great to work with.

When I came in contact with Joe I was literally lost. My daughter had so many issues, school wasn't helping, family didn't understand and although her pediatrician was helping it was just taking very long and honestly I had no where else to turn. I was literally spending my evenings praying and researching ways to get help. That's when I found Joe Montgomery. Before Joe my daughter's issues were taking as a joke (at least that's how I felt). I can honestly say my child is doing amazing now, Thanks to this attorney. Once he got involved I was taking seriously, I had a voice and I received help and FAST.We have a diagnosis, help with school and even psych help. As anyone knows who maybe going through issues with their kid especially mental health issues it's a hard, long, emotional, frustrating road. Almost no one understands. Im so thankful because this diagnosis helped save my child's life, her self esteem is better and she's doing great in school. I never thought she'd be getting A's and I honestly never thought college would be an option because of her issues. She now not only knows she wants to go to college but knows what she wants to do. I honestly can't thank this man enough. He takes his job seriously and he would definitely get the help your kid deserves. If your serious about education help and results he's definitely the attorney to hire. Thank You so much again. I'll forever be grateful for your work and help with my child.

Our family could not be happier with our experience with Montgomery Law. Joseph and the team of lawyers at Montgomery Law were able to attain everything we were looking for for our child (and a little more to be honest). Someone was always available to answer questions. Office is located right in center city Philadelphia and is convenient to access (even when I was coming from work in New Jersey). Feel free to direct message me if I can provide any additional information.

Two years of fighting with one of the biggest & toughest districts, TO IMPLEMENT AN IEP - a settlement has been made! The District fought so hard to hide the truth, unnecessary prolonging the case so their counsels can rake in more fees! My child is now attending an out-of-district, an appropriate private school that will meet his special needs. All because, Joe and his law firm never gave up on our family. Our case was not an easy one, but Joe and Mary never stopped fighting so hard. My family and I are truly appreciative for all the long hours of hard work and extra care to conquer a victory for my child, the one who needs it the most. Thank you and I wish you many blessings.

My son actually told his teacher to "call my lawyer" when she was giving him a hard time in school. I DO NOT approve of this, but I thought it was funny that CJ felt as though Mr. Montgomery was his personal lawyer and could tell that Joseph was advocating on his behalf. Jospeh was adamant that CJ attend the consultation meeting and made him feel a part of the entire process. I wish the school had done this! We are very happy with the results and would recommend Montgomery Law to anyone that find themselves in a sticky situation with their school or school district.

My daughter who has severe down syndrome cried for two years begging me to help her deal with a rotten school district. I knew everything was wrong, but I was powerless without an attorney. Finally, I contacted Montgomery Law and explained everything. I was too embarrassed to admit I did not have the money to go to court, but Joe took the case anyway. I gave Mary Montgomery, special education advocate all the IEP's and information. Without hesitation, Joseph wrote up the due process. The district came back at us with vengeance. Mr. Montgomery was powerful, poised, and shrewd. He played the game, won the case and a $20, 000. settlement. BAM! Montgomery Law continued to support us giving us the courage to continue the battle, fighting for our rights for job testing and training until the final IEP. With Montgomery Law, we gained the power to choose what WE wanted for our daughter. Thanks Joe, for kicking their ass! After all, somebody had to do it !

Joe assisted me as co-counsel in a terribly difficult case in Florida. Together we were able to achieve a just result for a student who was improperly expelled to an “unacceptable” alternative school as a result of his disability. Don’t underestimate Joe’s experience by his youthful looks. He is sharp, extremely level headed, and wise beyond his years. He also understands Special Education Law better than most seasoned attorneys as he comes from a family with many years of professional experience in the area of Special Education Law dating back to the P.A.R.C and Mills cases.
