Experience
Before opening the firm in 2004, Monty was associated with small plaintiff-oriented law firms in the North Dallas area. The vast majority of his legal career has been spent representing individuals and small business owners in myriad types of civil cases, with a brief stop-over at a Dallas insurance defense firm. Although it feels like a lifetime ago, while in law school, he interned with Hon. Jay Patterson, then judge of the 101st District Court in Dallas.
Personal
A native of northeast Iowa, Monty has been married for over 20 years to his wife Sonya, a vice principal within the Hurst-Euless-Bedford school district. They have two children, one pursuing a doctorate in microbiology at Texas A&M and another who after graduating recently from the University of North Texas began her career teaching middle school English. Monty is a real estate investor, an able-handed do-it-yourselfer, an active reader (with a keen interest in the U.S. colonial period), and an avid sports fan.
