Carlo is an extremely helpful and knowledgeable lawyer. I have worked with him on many cases over the last few years and he is easily approachable and will help as much as he can. I know him to be very prompt, very involved and eager to get whatever issue he is working on resolved quickly and correctly. I would not hesitate to recommend him for your estate planning or probate needs, you would not be disappointed!

Attorney LaMonica is a zealous advocate for his clients. Based on our practice areas, we often represent opposing sides of the same case and I have witnessed this advocacy first hand. When we aren't battling against each other for our client's rights, I have been fortunate enough to work with Carlo on an estate matter as well. He is very knowledgeable and always willing to help when I have had questions. I have recommended him as an attorney to people on several occasions.
