About Rachel

A veteran Dallas trial lawyer, Rachel Montes has one goal in mind when she begins work for a new client, simply to level the playing field. This approach to dealing with negligent individuals and big business has earned Montes the respect of her peers and the gratitude of people and their families who have suffered injuries or loss at the hands of others. Ms. Montes has had the privilege of representing many families who have lost loved ones or suffered life-changing injuries, and she has enjoyed a successful history of fighting for people victimized by trucking negligence, fraternity hazing, insurance bad faith claims, defective products, wrongful death and workplace negligence.

"Trial lawyers are the voice for those who otherwise would not be heard. I'm proud to be in a profession that helps hard-working people stand up to the corporate and insurance giants who use fear and intimidation as their front line weapons of defense. I consider a successful case one that combines fair compensation with policy and procedural changes that create permanent safety upgrades that benefit everyone."

Ms. Montes has earned a reputation as a relentless, no non-sense lawyer who combines modern legal strategies with an old-school approach that truly does put her client on a level playing field. Ms. Montes has earned the respect and trust of other lawyers who have referred clients, friends and family members to her for representation.

Ms. Montes began her legal career after accepting a coveted position with one of Texas' largest personal injury law firms. Client success, along with a highly competitive personal drive led Montes to open her own law firm in 1998.

Since that time, Ms. Montes has had settlements and verdicts representing millions of dollars for her clients. Ms. Montes is the 2006 president of the Dallas Women Lawyers Association, and sits on the board of that organization today. Additionally, Ms. Montes is on the board of directors of the Dallas Trial Lawyers Association, a group that is dedicated to opening the courthouse to any aggrieved person and ensuring that people have justice in the face of powerful big-money insurance companies and their wielded power. Ms. Montes sits on the board of directors for the Texas Trial Lawyers Association, and most recently was nominated for a coveted position on the Texas Trial Lawyers Advocates Board. Ms. Montes is a member of, and active in, the American Association for Justice, and is a member of the Christian Lawyers Association.
