Jon Montagna
Attorney
I regularly send people to work with Jon. If I didn’t feel confident in him, I wouldn’t send my membership to him.
President, ILA Local 1970
His strength as an attorney is the respect and compassion he shows his clients, who are often surprised that he’ll travel for hours to personally meet them and learn about their case in order to achieve the best possible outcome.
While Jon is laidback in nature, he will fight aggressively to win the maximum compensation you deserve. He has enjoyed a high rate of success for his clients over the years.
