Skilled and seasoned divorce attorney

Monica Harper represented me in a divorce case – a very difficult one – some time ago. I would not only hire her again, I would strongly recommend her for anyone who requires the services of an energetic, resourceful, and highly skilled attorney for their separation and or divorce needs. Without u...ndue drama or grandstanding, attorney Harper conducted her part of my divorce trial with aplomb and professionalism. Not coincidentally, we won that trial, and the judge granted everything that we had requested, including a few proposals we were certain would be summarily dismissed. Further, she demonstrated a strong personal advocacy for the situation I was involved in, and so provided both empathetic support and a determined legal focus. Atty Harper would be an excellent choice for those considering or involved in the divorce or separation process.

Really Helped Our Family

Monica Harper is an excellent attorney. My husband and I hired her on two separate occasions. She helped us with a modification of child support as well and defended against an erroneous Emergency Motion filed. Attorney Harper was extremely thorough and very prepared. When we went to court on the... child support action, she really advocated for us and was able to negotiate a lower child support than we anticipated. On the other occasion that we used her, she filed such a well-written and detailed response to the Emergency Motion, that the Emergency Motion was dropped entirely. We found Attorney Harper to be very precise and detail oriented. She took a lot of pride in her work with us, and both times we fared better than we thought we would. While results are never a guarantee, we felt that her preparedness and knowledge of the law are what set her apart from the other attorney on both occasions. She was a great choice for us and we would not hesitate in recommending her to others who have a family law issue.

Excellent Guidance

Monica was very helpful and gave excellent advice to my son who considered a divorce. We are grateful for her thorough guidance at a time when my son needed help.

Honest, well versed in the law, communicates immediately and thoroughly, professional and overly prepared to defend you.

Attorney Monica Harper was 200 % prepared to handle my divorce/business relationship. She "always" responded within the hour of a phone call or email. When we went to court, she was prepared 7 ways to Sunday......no matter what the other side threw at us.....she was prepared way beyond what was proba...bly needed. She does not make a mistake..........she has to be the most honest human being I have ever met. She is expensive, but if you always tell the truth...you can never lose with Monica!
