Best personal injury attorney and legal staff

I hired Mr. Monks for a personal injury case against a large corporation. Not only did Mr. Monks, and his legal staff, give me the courtesy of letting me know all information regarding my case at every turn, but was completely prepared and anticipated the corporations every move. He will always tel...l you where you stand whether it be good or compromised. He is the epitome of professional and is a kind human being. If you are lucky enough to have him take your case, please be assured, he will fight it every step of the way. The same standard also applies to his legal staff. Mr. Monks sets the standard for how attorneys should be.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have had several professional interactions with Mr. Monks, and am familiar with his legal ability and ethical standards. His legal skills are very high, and he has always demonstrated great integrity. The keeness of his legal analysis separates him from other lawyers, as do his diligence and sense of fair play. I have the utmost regard for him as a lawyer and a person."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
