Posted by anonymous | January 17, 2016 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Mona missed conferences and didn't tell me; now I have a default decision against me!!

I hired Mona Conway in April 2015 to represent me in a civil case involving my previous employer. Over the past 9 months, I had contacted Ms. Conway for updates and either I was ignored or told firmly to not worry about it, she was handling it. Because she was representing me for a reduced rate, I ...respected her wishes and only contacted her when my ECourt update indicated there was a decision, but again got no response. On 1/13/16, I received an ECourt update indicating that my case had been Disposed and a link with the Order was included. When I opened it, I was floored to learn that the Plaintiff had been awarded a default decision because Ms. Conway failed to attend multiple conferences. I immediately tried to call Ms. Conway, only to find that all of her numbers were disconnected. I did call an associate who shares Ms. Conway's office who said he would get her on her cell and have her call me back. No call back. I then emailed her on 3 email accounts, again, no response. I really thought Ms. Conway was a good lawyer when I met with her and that she would handle my case properly. I cannot believe that she just abandoned my case and didn't have the integrity to notify me that she would no longer represent me. Very disappointing because now I have to find another attorney before the next conference and hope that the Judge vacates the Order. Mona has another complaint on the Better Business Bureau from another client claiming that she took money from them and they never heard from her. How could someone run their practice this way and get away with it?

Excellent lawyer

Mona R. Conway helped my business by providing timely, accurate and thorough assistance. Her knowledge of contracts and intellectual property is second to none. I would highly recommend Mona without the slightest reservation.

Friendly and Professional

Buying a business can be scary and exciting but Mona made the scary parts easier for us to deal with. I immediately knew from our first meeting that she would fight for me to get the best deal possible. Mona is intelligent and knowledgeable but so down to earth that I felt like I was dealing with n...ot just an attorney, but a friend. She answered every phone call, voice mail and e-mail within a few hours. Mona was recommended to me by a friend and now I am recommending her to you.

Professional Attirney

I want to start by saying that in my career I've met and worked with many Civil and Criminal attorneys which were all very professional, I met Ms Conway and I added her to the list of all the attorneys I know. I'll describe Ms Conway as an intelligent young woman, honest, trustworthy, reliable, de...pendable and very responsible. She's has always demonstrated excellent work ethics and has always been available to all our needs. If anyone needs an intelligent well prepared attorney please don't hesitate to contact Ms Conway and you we'll be 110% satisfy .

"I had the honor and privilege to have Miss Conway as a teaching assistant while attending law school. There I learned of her very admirable and dedicated zest for pursuing what is right. Now as an attorney, I have had the fortune of calling on Miss Conway for advice on some matters in which she has graciously provideded me her incredibly vast experience which has proven to be immeasurable. I would never hessitate to recommend her to anyone. Since I have had problems with legal representation on my own behalf in the past, I can unquestionably say this is not another lawyer spewing hot air on another's behalf. Miss Conway seriously takes her law practice to another level in providing outstanding legal advice."
