Montel is a Chameleon be very CAUTIOUS please READ GOOGLE REVIEWS ... Myself & others have had horrible experiences with him. BEWARE this "BUSINESS" is a "ONE MAN'S SHOW" deliberately represented to appear otherwise, with his "so called" employees being hired off of CRAIGSLIST per job! This can & DID allow for a very dangerous & equally ScArY scenario of which I suddenly found myself in at PUBLIC STORAGE in West Palm Beach, at night by myself (other than him & 2 men he brought with him) when Montel got into an altercation with one of the men that he had introduced as his "Partner & Brother" ...
HOWEVER, Montel did not even know these 2 men because his company is just "MONTEL" alone & the GIG WAS UP as soon as he had a VIOLENT confrontation with one of the men downstairs & was forced to tell me the TRUTH of the matter which was these men had been hired from CRAIGSLIST that day to assist him!
*I was upstairs getting more things ready for them to bring downstairs & I kept hearing LOUD YELLING that was very aggressive sounding but I was inside, upstairs & thought it may just be people yelling across the loading area to one another or something but as the yelling persisted, it became apparent that this had to be an altercation - THEN I heard helicopters ABOVE that were clearly circling the building & parking area... ANNNND it was the POLICE that had been dispatched due to the VIOLENT NATURE of the KNIFE & FIST FIGHT that had ensued between Montel & one of the men Montel had made the unprofessional, disrespectful decision to accompany him.
In addition, "to add insult to injury" after this nightmare situation - ALL of which was the result of Montel's haphazardly conducted business practices... that caused a 3 hour delay & resulting in my particular "JOB" being INCOMPLETE... he made up an absolute WILD excuse of why I would need to pay him additional money if he came back to complete the UNFINISHED JOB, as well as insisting I pay more than the ORIGINAL AGREED UPON PRICING for what little work was done before the NIGHTMARE... being that I was there ALONE with him & 1 of the CRAIGSLIST men - due to one being forced to leave by the police ... I was afraid not to give him the EXTRA Money he was asking for & felt it was smart to just pay him the amount he was DEMANDING & address the situation later, when I was safely away from the situation & it irked me to do this because I knew it was his tactic to seize the moment to take advantage of a vulnerable woman by herself but I kept thinking of what my father always told me: "PICK YOUR BATTLES" ... In other words, sometimes it's better, at that moment, to just walk away unharmed because if you know it could just cause things to get worse to debate or argue about it at the time - then nothing will be gained but more issues & frustration that could escalate into something dangerous that wasn't worth the possible further harm in that moment! read more
