Questions & Answers
Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
In 2018 the sister of an injured worker (who would eventually become our client) came into our office asking for help. Client had been in a serious injury which had caused a traumatic brain injury. The defense was offering $2.5M. Montoya Law stated that that was not enough. We reviewed the case. Made our demand taking into consideration all expenses applicant would need in his lifetime (transportation, special van, nurse help, caretaker, gasoline, mileage, etc...). 4 months later we settled his case for $5.15M would is one of the highest settlements in the history of CA for a workers compensation claim.
How did you build a successful practice?
The key to a successful practice is always caring about your clients. Fight for them since they have trusted you to do so. No matter the size of the claim we fight for them as if they were our only client.
What should clients look for in a lawyer?
Reputation, Results, Integrity. You will be placing your health and income in the attorney, you need to make sure he will protect you.
What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?
I like to believe that we take it personal. Montoya Law commits to the client and his interest. Our client intake is limited (once we reach a certain number we stopped taking cases) to our staff. We only take clients when we know we can provide a service we will be proud of.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?
Getting justice for our clients.
