Montiel Hodge

"My experience with Montiel Hodge could not have been better. Everyone we came across was professional, compassionate, and showed an expertise in their field. They could not have been more helpful navigating me through every part of the process so I could feel informed and involved. We primarily worked with Landis Silva Prestigiacomo and we could not have been happier. The time and effort she spent on my case showed me that every attorney at Montiel Hodge really cares about their clients and will stop at nothing to make sure they are taken care of. Even after our case was settled she would follow up to make sure and answer any of our remaining questions. I will recommend Montiel Hodge Law Firm to anyone in need in the future."

"I have had the best experience with Montel Hodge. Not only do they make us feel important and explain every step of the way of what’s going on, and what to expect. We were given the best advice and they fought hard for our case. Everyone we spoke to was very friendly and helpful, and especially Landis, she was the main one who walked us through everything and kept us informed about our case. Landis made the whole process less stressful and we couldn’t be more happy with the outcome. I highly recommend to anyone going through this, or anything similar to reach out to these guys!!! Simply awesome! Can’t thank ya’ll enough."

"Montiel Hodge provided us with excellent representation through a two-year construction arbitration ordeal. They were knowledgeable about the law and the arbitration landscape and provided us with great resources to build our case. Despite all manner of nonsense and delays from the opposing party, they never lost enthusiasm for achieving a positive outcome for us and they succeeded! Mark and Landis were an exceptional team and we are so grateful to them for guiding us through this nightmare."

"Pursuing legal action can be a daunting choice, usually brought on by unfortunate circumstances that require that justice be served. In my case, my insurance company refused to recognize the deep, structural damage to my home's brick exterior, brought on by the tremendous wind torment of hurricane Laura. Even after I presented a professional evaluation of the nascent damage, that only progressed with time, as is typical of structural cracking, my insurance company denied my claim and "officially" concluded that any cracking was due to settling earth, without ever having come out to look. Their evaluation and conclusion was all done over the phone and their Ap. I was distraught, disappointed and eventually disgusted. Fortunately, YouTube had a few videos on hurricane brick damage and a friend told me about Montiel-Hodge Law Firm. As I watched the cracks in my bricks continue to grow, I decided to reach out to Montiel-Hodge, even though they were located in New Orleans...clean across the state from Lake Charles. After a quick, initial discussion and evaluation, a Ms. Shelby Talley took the time to respond to all my questions and concerns related to the representation agreement. She was stellar in her articulation and interpretation of the legal concepts, terms and objectives contained. I felt quite comfortable with her expertise and concern, leading to a strong sense of organic confidence, resulting in the retention of their services. From there, it was a series of follow up discussions and updates that gave view and context to the process of seeking justice for the damage done to my home that my insurance company refused to recognize, and much less recompense...despite my years of patronage, believing that I was buying protection for just such a situation. My case was particularly challenging due to changes in my insurance company's legal position but with Ms.Talley's guidance, my case was settled to my great satisfaction, and will now allow me to repair my home and feel whole again after being ravaged by hurricane Laura. I particularly appreciated that Ms. Talley always made me feel like I was in the driver's seat, explaining the landscape, the options, the considerations without ever marking me feel pressured. She was always responsive with a quick call back, when she couldn't take my call. It was great to experience that level of real cooperative concern as we worked together as a team. Once again, it is a daunting decision to pursue legal action, never knowing where it might go while feeling like a pawn in an unfamiliar game, however, when I think of the alternative of not pursuing legal representation, I know without a doubt that I made the right choice, with the right team. I can fix my house now. What more needs to be said?"

"I had a fantastic experience with Montiel Hodge. They were extremely professional and upfront from beginning to end of the process. They fought for my claim to get settled and we won. Cannot recommend highly enough."
