No gimmicks and no surprises! Sam is a great down to earth Attourney who got me what I wanted! I would recommend this firm to anyone who needs a no nonsense workers comp Attourney! Thank you again I really appreciate it read more

Unfortunately, my experience with Montoya Law on my workers' compensation case was very disappointing. Initially, I felt confident based on the firm's marketing and the promises made during the intake process. However, after I signed the retainer agreement, communication became a significant issue. Emails, phone calls, and text messages often went unanswered, and I frequently had to follow up multiple times just to receive a response. As the injured worker, I was simply trying to stay informed and actively involved in my own case. I don't think anyone had a greater interest in achieving a favorable outcome than I did. Despite that, I often felt like my concerns were being dismissed rather than addressed. One conversation with attorney Ruben Montoya particularly stood out. After I had made several attempts to contact the office regarding concerns about my case, I finally received a call. During that conversation, I felt more criticized for trying to communicate than supported as a client. I was repeatedly told that "it's not instant soup" and that he was "not a magician." While I understand that legal matters take time, those comments left me feeling dismissed and unheard. I also experienced long delays in receiving medical treatment. At one point, I went more than six months without treatment related to my work injury. The doctor I was referred to was approximately an hour from my home, and appointments often involved waiting for extended periods before being seen. When I raised concerns about retaliation and other issues affecting my claim, I was told another attorney would contact me to discuss them, but that never happened. I also attempted to discuss adding additional injuries to my claim and did not receive meaningful follow-up. Throughout the case, I felt like I was constantly advocating for myself instead of having an attorney actively advocating for me. The firm's advertisements emphasize fighting for injured workers and making sure clients do not leave money on the table. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. I did not feel supported, prioritized, or adequately represented during a very difficult period in my life. Ultimately, I lost confidence in the representation and made the decision to hire another law firm. This review reflects my personal experience. Others may have a different experience, but based on mine, I cannot recommend this firm read more

BEWARE, DO NOT HIRE THEM FOR WORKMANS COMP!!!! Long delays in communication, rude office staff, misinformation that's not accurate, NASTY! I even had to threaten to drop my case to get the attorney on the phone! They gave unrealistic time frames, treated me as the client like dirt! AWFUL!!!!! read more

I hired Montoya Law Firm in May of 2021 after being injured at work. They were great with getting me the medical treatment I needed. After 4 long years of waiting Ruben got me way more than I expected. My case was settled at the end of September 2025 and the payment has already been sent to me. Thank you Ruben and team. read more

Was a Wonderful Experience Being Taking Care of by "Montoya Law"They Represented My Case With Dignity and Integrity Understanding The Law Of Course and My Suffering And Resolving My Issues...With a Great Outcome... Can't Thank You Enough read more

First and foremost, I previously had another injury attorney before I went to Ruben. My previous attorney never communicated with me nor even took the time to meet me, I had a coworker send me a recommendation for Ruben Montoya not only do they work fast they take the time to communicate and help me get a good understanding about my case I was very satisfied with the results I got from Ruben Montoya and his law firm and on top of getting me the most out of my settlement he also helped me get thru my case at ease. I would highly recommend Montoya Law to anyone looking for an injury attorney. read more

PLEASE READ;If you're dealing with a workers' comp case and already having a tough time, reconsider choosing this office as they make things harder. Do yourself a favor and find another attorney. I regret not paying attention to negative reviews before hiring them. These individuals prioritize their interests over mine. Before signing the contract, they told me everything I wanted to hear. Once signed, I faced the reality of being ignored. When I tried to contact the owner, he was unprofessional and unhelpful. When I hired them, I had a settled case with ongoing monthly payments. I simply wanted an attorney to help find a doctor for my follow-up appointments through telemedicine. They didn't find a new doctor, ignored my calls and emails, and were disrespectful. And eventually Due to miscommunication with the travelers and not paying attention to my case, I lost my payment. and my case got messed up. After nine frustrating months, I terminated my contract with them. I had to handle negotiations on my own, and it took almost a year to settle the case. Despite my case lasting three years, Montoya Law represented me for only nine months, doing nothing beneficial and even stopping my payments. When discussing fees with Ruben, he was unprofessional, demanded too much money, and refused negotiations, leading to a court dispute. UPDATE: I want to emphasize that the above statement reflects my personal experience with the business and is not meant to harm their reputation but to share my honest feedback. I received a message from Ruben M, who identified as the business owner, after posting this review. The message included threats and demands to delete my review, further highlighting the unprofessionalism I experienced during my interactions with the business. It is crucial for consumers to be aware of potential challenges they may face when choosing this business, especially if dealing with workers' compensation cases. I encourage others to carefully consider their options and take into account negative reviews as they may provide valuable insights into the business's practices. In sharing my experience, I hope to contribute to the improvement of the overall customer experience and encourage open communication between clients and businesses. However, I want to reiterate that this review is based on my subjective perspective, and others may have different experiences with the business. Update: I am writing this after the business owner responded to my review. I expected the owner to reply to my review, but I never expected him to bend the truth for his benefit. I don't want to engage in back-and-forth on this matter, But I have all my written communications with Montoya Law, which dispute his statements. read more

Please do not make my mistake, call Montoya Law first! I had a very difficult workers comp case to begin with and then to make matters worse, my previous attorney completely botched my case. Through his persistence and expertise Ruben Montoya was somehow able to salvage my case. Then when I had pretty much given up hope Ruben called me with a settlement amount that was even more than what I had expected (and would probably had been more had I gone to him first)! read more

Montoya Law represented my Workman's Compensation case with an outcome that was reasonable and fair. I couldn't be more impressed with Rubin and his team. He fought HARD for me, treated me as if I was family. He kept me in the loop when things were being tossed back and forth between attorneys. He or his team were available anytime I needed answers. I'm grateful that Rubin and his team were my representatives in my WC case! read more

I hired Montoya Law firm back in 2020. Be aware when you hire this attorney, they will ignore your phone calls, emails, texts, etc. I have been trying to get a hold of Mr. Ruben Montoya over two months since I have significant questions to be clarified in regards to my case( time sensitive situation) but have not been able to reach him. I have left several messages with Norma, who I think is their receptionist, Patricia, and Victor. I spoke with Victor and he said "Please expect Mr. Montoya phone call one of these days" and up to today 8/20/24 I have not received any phone call yet. If someone who has dealt with this type of situation before, please guide me on where to find help. read more

Let me just say that Mr Montoya and his team diligently work to win my case I settled with a decent number that I was comfortable with he really went to bat for me I love the team I love the firm If you are looking for a lawyer to go to bat for you Mr Montoya is the man for his job he did his job he did his job he did his job and God is good. This is not a fake post this is something that really took place I settle my case in Anaheim California on April 26th of 2023 and like I said if you are looking for a lawyer to truly go to bat for you Mr Montoya is the man for the job. read more

If you are looking for a workers compensation attorney, look no further. Being hurt on the job puts you in an extremely vulnerable, scared, and anxious position. You're not only hurt physically, but now the added stress and worry are also emotionally draining. Hiring Ruben put me at ease. As soon as I met him, I could tell he was the right attorney for me. Having someone that is not only knowledgeable, but also kind and compassionate was a godsend. My case: Me vs. a HUGE company. It was settled in 2 months. TWO! I was awarded more than I thought was possible. They lowballed me in the beginning, and Ruben kept going back for more until they gave in. It took him less than 30 minutes. He really fought for me and made sure I got the settlement I deserved. Now I can start the healing process and get on with my life. Isn't that what we all want in this situation? He will do that for you! Truly, if you are going through this nightmare called workers comp, call Ruben and let him handle it. No one should go through this alone. read more

I had a fantastic experience with Ruben Montoya from Montoya Law. His workers' comp service was outstanding. He handled my case with expertise and care, achieving a favorable outcome. Highly recommended! read more

Horrible experience. They NEVER called us back once and the only way we could get them to answer our calls is if we threatened to change lawyers. They sent us to a provider who was 84 years old and was completely unreachable. We called to verify appt and there was NO staff to answer call to verify so drove an hour to the location only to find out the doctor had been sick for weeks and wasn't there. No one called us to tell us this. We then informed lawyer. 2 weeks go by and no call back from lawyer. It's been 6 months that my husband has been on worker's comp and this lawyer had basically gotten us nowhere. The only thing he did was have a doctor sign a paper saying my huband should stay on worker's comp other then that, nothing. We have no idea if he needs surgery or not in SIX months. Called again today and they said lawyer was not available until I said we are signing papers with another lawyer, miraculously he became instantly available. He made up some story about how we went to the doctor after they told us Paul had to quarantine first for 2 weeks and needed another appt. What he didn't seem to realize is the appt was after 2 weeks and after it was rescheduled. This guy doesn't have an idea of what is going on. I just hung up and signed papers for a new laywer.. There is NO possible way these five star reviews were not posted by friends because this guy literally DOES NOTHING. NEVER ONCE RETURNED A SINGLE CALL AND ONLY TOOK CALLS WHEN WE THREATENED TO FIRE HIM. UPDATE: Lawyer called to ask me to remove review today. He claims it's not his fault if the doctor is not available or reachable. Sorry but what? Isn't this a provider YOUR office vetted and found to be reliable? This IS your fault. You need to make sure the providers are professional and reliable. Also he said he only calls clients when he has progress to present. Um, so how do we know you are actually DOING anything if we don't hear back for weeks at a time? So basically saying it's okay to not communicate with clients to provide status. So there you go! More fuel for the fire I'd say. BTW: wow it took this review to finally get a phone call from this guy. Sorry too late, already retained a new lawyer. read more

The Montoya Law Group is absolutely top notch! I was getting screwed by my insurance company badly. I hired Ruben and his awesome team and they got me a settlement that was more than I though it would be. Best of all everyone in the office always went the extra mile to communicate with me and answer my questions. I can't say enough about how great they are! read more

Montoya Law represented me in a worker's comp case and successfully helped me reach an outcome I was happy with. They took care of everything, gave me all the info i needed, got me to the right doctors, never pressured me into anything and kept fighting until I felt comfortable with the settlement.

You can have confidence that they'll truly fight for your best ineterest and represent you. read more

Mr. Montoya handled my worker's compensation claim and even intervened on my behalf when the company was trying to pull a fast one on me. I say it like that because they gave me ultimatums of if you do not go see this doctor within 24 hours you will lose your claim on a number of occasions. Which is scary when you don't understand what your rights are. Given a choice I would choose Mr. Montoya again, he is professional, timely, no nonsense, and straightforward. There are no extra hidden fees added on, you sign an agreement ahead of time. read more

I don't know how many people are going to see this I don't know how many people watch this but I just want to let you guys know that Montoya Law Firm is the best workman's comp lawyer I have ever encountered in my whole life didn't take but a matter of weeks maybe a little bit over a couple months but I'm getting the check in 30 days and it's all thanks to Sandoval my lawyer the best of the best of the best out there so give them props give him a call let him handle your workman's comp case and trust me he will win if not he don't get paid so of course he's going to win thank you Montoya Law Firm you're the best the best the best the best in the West read more

If I could give these guys 0 stars, believe me I would! I had a horrible experience with a previous lawyer. I reached out to Montoya law and was promised they would handle my case with attention and have communication with me. That turned out to be a huge lie. They sent me to a shady doctor and the only way to get up was climbing 4 flights of stairs and with a back injury, this was not easy. After that, they switched me over to another doctor where I was physically assaulted by a homeless person lurking. I was told by the lawyers to suck it up because looking for a new doctor would take too much work. The last straw was when I saw a new doctor (several months later) and he informed me no paperwork had been submitted to the state doctor. It had been more than 6 months! I tried calling, emailing, even going through their website and no response. Their receptionist is also rude and apparently fails to give messages. I was over it. PLEASE save yourself the trouble and look for another lawyer read more

I would like to thank Montoya law firm. Especially Samuel Santa Cruz. Samuel is a true professional at his job. He walked me through the process he was there every step of the way from beginning to end. If I had a question and he cannot answer he would find away to solve the problem. He went beyond the call of duty and I really appreciate his hard work and effort he gave for my case.In the end I got a nice settlement amount and your hard work made it happen thank you! read more

Best attorney ever. I was very pleased with the outcome of my case.

Very Satisfied with this services! my case was a bit complicated but thanks to this amazing team Mr. Montoya law was able to settle my case within a year.. very happy with the results and I will totally recommend this team to any who needs it. great job!! read more

This guy Jesse or Ruben or whoever he is. the phantom bully attorney. He didn't do anything for my case and he did not fight for me. I broke my hand and have pain that has been unresolved and hand deformity. Ruben or Jesse have not even wanted to see me as a client. they have refused to meet with me so I can show them the extent of my injury. Every time he calls me he yells at me and says I have to settle my case with no further treatment instead of saying I will get a doctor to see you for further evaluation . He is disrespectful, cruel and inhumane. Please do yourself a favor and stay away from this guys bullying. He refused to fight for me cause he probably was getting payed under the table from travelers insurance my workers comp insurance. He just wants to benefit from my pain and suffering. He would not drop the case unless he put a lien on it so that nobody will take it over. He is a bottom feeding scum of an attorney. I didnt do my homework and go with a referral. I just made a call to these piranhas and now my case is a mess with no end in sight going on almost 3 years. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE AND GET A REFERRAL FOR A COMPETENT LAWYER read more

Mr. Montoya settled my case within minutes even though I almost didn't make it to the deposition. He is very knowledgeable but also a humble mentor, he will basically dumb things down to make sure you understand everything about the case. He was also very responsive and never made me feel like a nuisance. Mr. Montoya was a huge contrast to Samuel whom dragged his feet and didn't communicate with me until a day before the deposition. I definitely recommend this law firm because Mr. Montoya definitely knows his stuff and he will make sure you're satisfied with his services. I hope I never have to go through this process ever again but if I do I know who to call....speed dial lol. read more

He won my case in 2 months. He stayed in communication with me. I recommend his firm to my family and friends. Thank you for your time and support. read more

I called this law firm by chance and it was the best mistake i have made in a very long time. Other attorneys were calling me back and all were very difficult. Most said i didn't have a case. Montoya law firm returned my message and because i was so discouraged i lagged on returning their call. Ruben and Samuel called me several times and were impressively persistent. I figured hopefully Ruben will be this way with the insurance companies at time of compensation. He got me thousands more than i was quoted by a few other attorneys! The first offer he told me "you deserve more, let me go back and get you more"! I was so impressed when he came back and actually did read more

Being that sometimes it seems overwhelming with all the unknown things that will go on with your case... they take the time out to make you at least get a clear picture of what will come.. I would highly recommend MONTOYA LAW even to family..Ruben made me feel like he was definitely fighting for the best result. Thank you for all your hard work. After 15 years with my employer this was a tough thing to go through but I'm so glad they helped me through couldn't have done it alone. read more

Ruben is a brilliant lawyer, who I happened to find only due to a yelp review. So,i am not biased in having friends refer me.He is highly educated with the particular kind of law, I needed him for , which was personal injury from a work injury. Ruben will accurately advise you of what would be an accurate and excellent settlement for you. he is cordial, always available and called me back, as best as he could, given the constraints of his job . Likable, very smart, and very quick to get the top dollar for you, I highly recommend,Ruben Montoya. I was lucky that I happened to find him, kind of randomly and am so pleased that I went to Montoya law. read more

Ruben Montoya and his excellent team get the job done when it comes to settling your case. Thank you Samuel for always responding to any concerns I had and making this processes so smooth.

Best law firm!! It was a very good experience meeting Mr. Montoya, reliable, honest, an expert on his field, I will like to thank his team for always being kind and caring, every time I called some one answered with knowledge and very professional, I will like to thank Jessie for being such a great person , always doing such a professional job, and at the same time being kind and caring, Simon thank for being knowledgeable and kind. Mr Santa Cruz thanks so much for keeping me informed, even though sometimes I didn't even remember I have spoken to you, you reminded me with kindness, Thanks so much, a job well done!!I highly recommend this Law Firm. 10 stars read more

Where to begin with Ruben and his team. I had no idea what to do with dealing with worker's compensation so I reached out and Ruben and his team were very knowledgeable with everything and knew pretty much every doctor and claims adjuster I was dealing with. They knew what they were doing and got the ball rolling pretty much immediately and had my back the entire process and dealt with the headache. They kept me informed the entire time and in no time he got me the settlement I was very pleased with. If you are hesitant about getting a lawyer I just want to put your mind at ease because Ruben and his team really are there to help you. Thanks again Ruben! read more

My husband got an accident at work and wasn't assisted by the company's protocol. I found Atty. Ruben Montoya here in Yelp and as I read all those great reviews; we decided to consult and have an appointment. He's very accommodating and have a quick response. When we finally met him, all the information we got was really helpful and with no second thought we decided to have him take care of my husband's case. Our first meeting that maybe last less than an hour. After that, it takes less than 3 months when we received the letter for the deposition with the company's workers compensation insurance. Deposition day, we decided to have settlement and the workers compensation insurance company agreed and gave my husband last compensation. We only made 2 meet up but the result was excellent and my husband received more than what we expected. Will definitely refer Atty. Ruben Montoya as Workers Compensation Attorney. Thank you so much. read more

Great Law office. Ruben montoya is a very great loving caring. agressive and determine to actually fight for you. Thank you for all the hard work and dedication. read more
