Cynthia Montoya
Paralegal
Cynthia Montoya is a paralegal with James A. Gallo of the Law Offices of James A. Gallo in Pasadena. She began her career in the legal field in 2006 at Stroock & Stroock & Lavan in Century City, assisting the law library with research and acquisitions firmwide. Having found her passion for the law, she earned her paralegal certificate and went on to work as a paralegal and independent contractor.

Ms. Montoya currently fights on behalf of plaintiffs where her experience in defense informs her work. She has experience in business, real estate, tax, immigration, probate, personal injury, insurance, and legal malpractice litigation. Cynthia’s idiosyncrasies as a technophile lend well to her work in e-discovery and her motto is, “Teamwork makes the dream work.”

Ms. Montoya earned her paralegal certification with Honors Extraordinary from Pasadena City College where she served as webmaster and Vice-President of the PCC Paralegal Association.
