Robert Morel Montgomery Jr. (June 9, 1930 – 3 August 2008) was an American lawyer known for winning huge settlements, including State of Florida v. American Tobacco Co., et al., where the tobacco industry agreed to pay $11.3 billion to recover Medicaid expenses for smoking-related diseases.
He graduated from University of Alabama, becoming a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity, then spent two years in the United States Army.
After representing insurance companies, he switched to litigating on behalf of plaintiffs, frequently taking high-profile cases.
When Kimberly Bergalis contracted AIDS from her dentist, Montgomery won an undisclosed settlement.
Though a Democrat, Montgomery represented longtime friend Theresa LePore, whose "butterfly ballot" design in Palm Beach County came under fire during the 2000 United States presidential election.
