Testimonials

If you need a good lawyer Barbara Monty is fabulous. Smart, experienced, thoughtful, skilled, good natured and as strong as needed. She helped me tend a really difficult case for a close friend. Working with her you will be in very good hands.

Jack Kornfield, Author and a Founder of Spirit Rock Meditation Center

Matt White and Darcy Lichter are the best. I came to them with a small auto accident case but I got the attention, care, support, attention to detail, and responsiveness that you would hope to get if it was a major case. This is the team that you want in your corner if you are injured.

Joe K. — Belvedere Tiburon, CA

I approached Monty White LLP recently with a civil issue I was facing. They responded to me very quickly and were helpful in making clear my options up front, including discussion of what potential costs might be. Ultimately I determined that I didn’t really need to follow through with formal litigation but would definitely go back to them in future if I needed help.

Darren V. — Vallejo, CA

I would recommend Mrs. Davaloo to any of my family or friends that come upon these terrible times. She is exactly the type of attorney you need to help you mitigate the stress and confusion with a clear head and educated will.

As an association of tribal governments, we have found Mr. Weathers to be knowledgeable, dependable, and ingenious, all done with integrity.

Barbara Monty is a marvelous mediator and her clients love her. Her experience as a litigator and her compassion and emotional intelligence make her an expert at guiding parties and attorneys, sensitively and firmly, toward settlements in mediation.

Nancy Foster, Esq.

Victoria Maxwell is amazing!  During the sale of my house she was confident, strategic, kind, informative, and went to bat for me at every turn. She is motivated and energetic and has her finger on the pulse of her industry. I couldn’t be happier!

Willow, real estate client

Barbara Monty is a passionate and tenacious mediator. She not only demonstrates a quick grasp of the legal issues, but is adept at dealing with and diffusing the personal dynamics that can drive many disputes.

Barry Bonapart, Esq.

I hired Francine Ward to provide me with legal advice, trademark assistance, and to help me develop contract documents during my business startup. She is a pleasure to work with, and very knowledgeable, responsive, and client-focused. I highly recommend her to other entrepreneurs who are looking for legal support for IP, contracts, and general business matters.
