Philosophy
The firm's personal philosophy on the practice of law is that it should be more of a service than a business enterprise. Everyone at Montiel Davis and Fonte, P.A. does everything possible to provide the best service, takes all available steps to protect the best interests of its clients, and achieves the best results they can.
Immigration Law
The law firm of Montiel Davis & Fonte, P.A. handles every aspect of immigration law, and handles some matters dealing with dissolution of marriages, adoptions and corporations. However, if a client has a problem outside of the immigration area, the firm may be able to recommend another attorney whom it feels is qualified in that field.
How the Firm Operates
Montiel Davis & Fonte, P.A. works a bit different from most other law firms. The cases are worked on as a joint effort. This way the client gets the benefit of not just one, but of many attorneys' and other staff members' expertise. There is no such thing as one person alone being assigned to a case. In the course of representing a client, different staff members may enter the scene, depending on where the case is at, and what the client's needs are.
Acceptance or Rejection of a Case
Not every case is accepted by the firm. A case will not be accepted if it involves fraud, or if the firm feels the client is being dishonest. A case will also not be accepted if the firm feels the client's chances of success are too small. The firm will give its professional opinion as to whether a matter is worth pursuing or not. If the matter is simple enough that a client can do it him/herself, or one for which the firm feels an attorney is not necessary, the firm will advise the client accordingly.
Retainer Agreements
If a case is accepted for processing, the client will be given a retainer agreement, which will set out the exact fee, to prevent misunderstandings. If a client does not receive a retainer agreement she/he should request one, since an agreement in writing on the subject of fees and other matters offers the client protection.
Representing the Client
A client will never be pressured into employing the firm or paying the required deposit to start the case. Once a client retains the firm, the firm will fight for its clients all the way, within the limits of the law.
