Sonia Montalbano, a candidate for Multnomah County Circuit Court Judge Position 12, has been a lawyer in Multnomah County for over 20 years, making a point to deal in many different types of caselaw.
Originally from New York, Montalbano was a first generation college student, eventually obtaining her law degree from Lewis & Clark Law School. Her legal accomplishments include being a delegate to the Oregon State Bar, among others, and has helped to raise money for non-profit organizations including the Campaign for Equal Justice, the Public Interest Law Project, and Oregon Literacy.
