About Amy M. Montes
Amy Montes is a distinguished Orange County divorce attorney who has established a reputation for providing clients with a holistic range of legal options. She is committed to understanding each client’s unique situation and using that knowledge to develop a legal strategy that fits the client.
Attorney Montes’ experience in case preparation, mediation, and litigation combine to give clients a wide range of options for every family law matter. Many matters are solved more effectively—and more affordably—in mediation sessions, which give each party more control over the outcome. However, she understands that certain issues are too contentious or complicated for mediation, and traditional court litigation may be the best option for your situation.
