Law Offices of William A. Montgomery

If i could give a zero I would!!! I feel very strong that I have been treated poorly and unfairly as his client, and I am writing to tell you save yourself A LOT of heartache, and find a reliable trustworthy decent lawyer. My case is straight forward, all I need from him is to come to court on return day and get me a trial date. He complicated me with lots of jargon, but never explains to me the whole process. When I asked him to explain procedures, he yelled at me: "I charge flat rate, don't email me or call me till return day!" He never never cc me emails to the other party: what he was hiding I would never know. I prepared my trial presentation very thoroughly with over 200 pieces of evidence, winning would be no doubt. But he threatened me if I don't agree to settle ( I doubt if he has a deal with defendant's lawyer) he will not help me, and forced me to pay extra if I go for trial, which is against our contract. He lied fervently about collecting procedures. While I am distant away, he creates a distraught, helpless, confused situation for me. When the defendant tried to trick me, all this lawyer considered was how to get his own payment and walk away. He is as indecent, despicable as the defendant, if not worse. I am truly, truly disappointed! From the bottom of my heart, and most sincerely, stay away from this lawyer, he is a disgrace to his profession!!!!!! P.S. all my friends who went through this with me urged me to write a bad review for this lawyer. I am also considering filling a formal complaint to bar association.

Best real estate lawyer in chicago area for sure. His knowledge in this area of the law is unmatched

I wouldn't think of Yelp as the place to review a lawyer, but why not? William Montgomery basically saved me money, time and headaches in my recent litigation suit, where he represented me.

He kept me aware of my situation and likelihood of settling my case and fought for me, when I felt ganged up on by the people who tried to take what was mine, after my husband's death. The world can be cruel, but William assured me the law was on my side, and he was correct.

If you ever need a lawyer who'll be with you every step of the way and explain law to you in a way you can understand, William Montgomery is the person you want!

I've been wanting to post this review for awhile. I met mr Montgomery at the lake county court house, I was waiting for my lawyer that day and got a call he could not make it . I was in a panic and waited for mr Montgomery to finish a meeting with his client. I asked him for his card and he asked what's the problem I have , I explained to him and he made some suggestions which I liked. Things worked out better then I thought . The following week I hired him to finish the case and it was a success! Since then he has represented me in real estate deals and law suits. I've been very please with his services. I referred him to other family members and they thanked me. He is a very considerate man with patience, I feel like he is family I can call him anytime and get gets back to me quickly as he can , you can tell he enjoys what he does, I truly recommend him, he will not let you down.

William Montgomery saved my soul! I was dealing with a ruthless scumbag who hadn't complied with our contractual agreement. William was professional, knowledgeable, and resourceful. I felt very at ease going to trial with him as my lawyer. Needless to say, we ended up winning the case, and he handled it wonderfully. He was able to assure my trust and provide every possible outcome. Thank you so much for making this nightmare as comfortable and smooth as could be.
