About August
August Montgomery built a path to law that began in numbers. He earned a B.S. in Accounting and an M.S. in Taxation from the State University of New York at Albany before moving on to Albany Law School for his J.D. That combination of accounting training and legal education has shaped the work he does today.
He joined Montgomery Law Office and rose to the role of partner. His background gives him a practical lens on client problems. He can parse a complex set of financial statements and then explain the legal options that follow. Colleagues say he brings a methodical approach to cases and client matters, sorting the details so strategy becomes clearer.
Montgomery’s academic record points to a strong interest in tax and accounting issues. The M.S. in Taxation complements the law degree in ways that are usable in practice. He applies technical knowledge about taxation alongside traditional legal analysis. That blend is useful in matters that sit at the intersection of business, finance, and the law.
In the office, he handles a range of matters that draw on his dual training. He counsels clients who need help understanding tax obligations, interpreting financial records, or structuring transactions. He also advises on disputes that involve accounting questions. He tends to break problems into discrete pieces so clients can see both risk and possible routes forward.
Clients describe his style as straightforward. He favors clear explanations over dense legalese. He prepares for meetings by reviewing documents closely. He then outlines practical next steps. In negotiations or hearings, he relies on preparation and a readiness to explain technical points to judges, opposing counsel, and clients alike.
Outside the courtroom, Montgomery contributes to the firm’s development of systems for managing complex client matters. He has helped standardize how financial documents are reviewed and how tax issues are tracked across cases. That work is part practice and part process improvement; it is aimed at making sure legal advice is grounded in accurate financial understanding.
He remains based at Montgomery Law Office. His practice brings together legal training and specialized study in taxation and accounting. He focuses his current practice on matters that involve tax, accounting, and business law, working with individuals and commercial clients on those issues.
