The current Solicitors of the firm are Michael Patrick Montgomery and his son Steven Michael Montgomery, a fourth generation Solicitor.

The founder of the firm was Michael's grandfather, William Patrick Montgomery, who was admitted as a Solicitor on the 1st September 1908 and who then opened a branch office in Chillagoe for the firm MacDonnell, Hannam & Montgomery. In 1912 he bought out Mr D. P. McNamara of the firm Havard and McNamara, Solicitors of Herberton and Atherton, and commenced running the Atherton office of that firm, which became known as Havard & Montgomery. A year later he bought out Mr E. I. Havard, and commenced to practice under his own name, W.P. Montgomery.

Michael's father, also William Patrick Montgomery, began working for the firm in 1948, at which stage the firm name became W.P. Montgomery & Montgomery, which name continues to today. The first W. P. Montgomery retired in 1976, the year that Michael commenced working for the firm. Michael became a partner in 1978. The second W. P. Montgomery retired in 1996.

Steven undertook his tertiary studies at Bond University on the Gold Coast, and has degrees in Law and Commerce. He worked on the Gold Coast for 18 months and then in Brisbane for 2 years, before returning home in 2006 to join his father in the firm.

W. P. Montgomery & Montgomery, Solicitors, has been serving the Atherton district for more than 90 years under the direction of a Montgomery family solicitor.
