I was born and raised in the Hudson Valley and very proud of our communities, culture and the beauty of the land here. Enjoying life with family and friends is the most important goal and what is most important to my clients. Preparing you for life's challenges, protecting you when you need it most, making your hard times pass smoothly and with as little consequence as possible is our job. I graduated Colgate University Cum Laude, attended Albany Law School, passed the bar exam, and returned home to the Hudson Valley in 2008 to launch the Montalto Law Firm. Our firm has a rapport with local police, judges and pubic defenders. We know what works and what doesn't work. You should not face these challenges alone.

There is only so much I can say for our firm, but it's more important what our clients think. Below are a few clients that know what it means to have the Montalto Law Firm on their side when they need us most:

*My wife and I just started a new business in the Hudson Valley. Christopher drafted an operating agreement for our business and truly helped us in understand all of the options and fine print associated with it. His knowledge and candor is reassuring, I would highly recommend The Montalto Law Firm to anyone that needs a lawyer. 

I can not thank him enough,
J.M., Rhinebeck

*My wife Alice and I have known and worked with Christopher and his team since he and his team planned our estate a few years ago. They listened carefully to our concerns and designed a thoughtful strategy that worked for us and our family. They specifically specifically helped us with a Health Care Proxy, Living Will, Power of Attorney, and a Will. He met with us frequently through the process, and even made a house call when we needed him to. Keeping us apprised throughout the process he sent us drafts and we all designed the plan together. Then we set a date for signing, and everything went smoothly. 

We whole-heartedly recommend the Montalto Law Firm,
Art & Alice

*Chris literally changed my life.
My ex husband, unexpectedly, took me to court and filed outlandish allegations against me. I lost custody of my son. At first I started with an AWFUL experience with my prior attorney. I made a request to the court for new counsel, and I was given Chris. Everything changed immediately. He worked SO HARD and took the case so seriously. He always responded, was friendly...I mean, he is seriously the best lawyer in the world!

Sincerely,
Annie
