Law Office Of Montgomery and Hart, PLLC

4.6(50)✓ Google-verified

Christine Hart earns strong marks for knowledge, warmth, and prompt action when actively engaged on wills, trusts, and estate planning matters. Several clients report she explained complex documents clearly and adapted to their needs. However, a consistent minority experienced long communication silences after initial contact, missed follow-ups on promised services (title searches, document sharing), and billing practices they found opaque or excessive. The disparity suggests inconsistent availability or case management rather than uniform lack of skill. When the firm is organized and in motion, clients feel guided and supported through the process. When delayed, they feel abandoned and left to chase answers themselves, leading some to hire elsewhere mid-way.
