Law Office Of Montgomery and Hart, PLLC

4.6(52)✓ Google-verified

Attorney Hart earns consistent praise for making complex legal processes feel straightforward and manageable, especially in estate planning and probate work. Clients repeatedly note her ability to explain matters clearly, answer all questions, and provide steady support without making them feel rushed. However, a smaller but vocal group reports significant gaps in responsiveness after initial consultations, with multiple follow-up attempts going unanswered for weeks or months, and concerns about billing accuracy and professionalism in refund handling. Recent reviews from the past two months paint a more positive picture, highlighting patience and clear communication through probate and estate planning. Older one-star reviews detail extended silence after paying consultation fees, missed follow-through on promised title searches and document sharing, and perceptions of disorganization that left clients feeling their cases were not a priority.
