Before going to law school, I ran an event production company. I chose to go into law for two reasons: I was bored with the business once it became successful, needing greater intellectual stimulation, and I'd always had a strong sense of justice. I had started my own business because I couldn't get a job with my psychology degree. While I seriously considered going to school for a PhD in Industrial Psychology, I was drawn more to law.
The sale of my company, though a largely successful undertaking, prompted my first experience in commercial litigation. From that experience, I understand what my clients go through; it's time-consuming, expensive and frustrating. I strive to do all I can to minimize these inherent effects on my clients.
As a child, I had watched and taken part in my father's many entrepreneurial endeavors. He had several printing companies, a mail order business, been a real estate broker and even had a pizza truck (the only one of it's kind). When I wasn't working for my father, I was in business for myself, running carnivals and lemonade stands every summer and I had a paper route. I have much respect for the small business owner.
When I'm not lawyering, I spend time with my friends and family. I especially enjoy relaying stories and jokes together. Based on what I learned as a semi-professional poker player, I often approach a case scenario the same way I played in a high stakes poker game - at least in terms of sizing-up the opposition and evaluting the odds of winning. I try to follow the sound advice of someone much smarter than me: "You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else." Albert Einstein.

Posted by anonymous | January 17, 2016 | Hired Attorney
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 ...

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.
Posted by Lani | June 21, 2014
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...

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...
Posted by Alison-Current and very satisfied client | May 2, 2011
Mona Conway has been our lawyer for the past 3 years where she has represented us in filing a business lawsuit. Mona from the very start was direct and upfront with us which was refreshing. She is extremely professional and her knowledge of the law leaves you with no doubt that you are being represen...
"I strongly endorse this lawyer. I have known Mona for well over a decade, and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a truly qualified and experienced attorney ; she is a true professional - dedicated and diligent - who takes personal care of her clients and their legal matters from start to finish."
"Attorney Conway was of great assistance to me when I was unable to attend a bankruptcy hearing in a jurisdiction in which I occasionally practice but do not live. She was kind to my client, communicative with me and willing to assist in any way possible. She did a wonderful job and I would recommend her to anyone seeking similar assistance."
"As a fellow Attorney, friend, and former co-worker; I can wholeheartedly endorse Mona Conway as a professional, extremely knowledgeable and fierce advocate of her clients. Mona is an extremely skillful litigator who is well versed in civil litigation. I am glad to have worked with her and am equally fortunate to have her as a referral source to my clients with corporate litigation needs."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Conway represented my Los Angeles based client on litigation in New York and did an excellent job. I highly recommend her."
"Ms. Conway and I were involved with a litigation matter in Nassau County. Ms. Conway was professional and courteous throughout her representation of her client. She is a practical attorney who knows how to draft and organize her motion papers very well. I have a lot of respect and admiration for her legal skills."
"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."
"Having worked with Ms. Conway on numerous matters, all of which resulted in successful resolutions due to her efforts, I would highly recommend her."
"Ms. Conway and I have successfully worked together on several matters. I have found her work to be excellent and have recommended her to my clients."
