A DEDICATED FAMILY LAW FIRM REPRESENTING CLIENTS FOR OVER 27 YEARS THROUGHOUT THE MAIN LINE.

Gregory P. (Greg) LaMonaca is the founding member of the firm, which he began in 1994, working from a spare bedroom in the first home he shared with his wife Monica. From that humble beginning, member-by-member, grew a firm comprised today of dedicated attorneys, paralegals and legal assistants utilizing a team-oriented approach to fulfill the firm’s mission. Twenty-seven years on, the firm is one of largest family law firms in the area, committed to that mission of serving the needs of its clients throughout the Main Line, the state of Pennsylvania and beyond.


Mr. LaMonaca is a Cardinal O’Hara High School graduate, after which he continued his studies at West Chester University, achieving dean’s list status and graduating with cum laude honors. From there, he went on to the Widener University School of Law, concentrating his studies in trial advocacy. Mr. LaMonaca is a several-times published author, former martial arts instructor, and recipient of numerous professional awards, including:

- Main Line Today magazine “Top Lawyer” designation fourteen times (often ranked #1), in the fields of divorce and custody, (2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2006 and 2004);

Mr. LaMonaca holds membership in the American Bar Association and the Pennsylvania Bar Association’s family law divisions, along with his membership in many other organizations.

Besides the firm’s experience, dedicated team members, diversity, and passion for helping others, Mr. LaMonaca attributes the growth and success of the firm to his “Brutally Honest” system. The three-phase process of this system, which Mr. LaMonaca co-created with a former custody client, helps individuals assess their past and analyze their present as a way to determine current goals, and as part of creating a plan for accomplishing those goals.

Mr. LaMonaca has worked to share his wisdom and vision with others. In 2009, he co-authored a book called the Brutally Honest Life Management Journal, to empower readers to reconnect with the things that matter most in life. In that first book, he detailed his own story of overcoming a rare, debilitating medical condition. He told of going from being a competitive martial artist and power lifter to becoming almost completely paralyzed in about a month’s time, as a tumor attacked his spine. In the book, he shared a year from his personal journal, candidly describing what it was like and what it took to overcome tremendous adversity against great odds. This book, and the “Brutally Honest” process help reader to design their own compelling future and to overcome what may stand in the way of achieving that compelling future. A follow-up book, the Brutally Honest Pennsylvania Divorce & Custody Survival Guide, was written to help readers who are mired in a divorce or custody dispute to visualize the path to a brighter future. An updated and expanded version of the book, re-titled now as the Brutally Honest Pennsylvania Divorce, Custody & Financial Survival Guide (2019), is available for free download through the firm’s website, at . Mr. LaMonaca added to his publishing credits early in 2019, with the release of his third book, The Brutally Honest Guide to Sur-thriving Generation Now. The book contains vital lessons that may apply to anyone looking to make a significant life change. In it, Mr. LaMonaca has shared real-life examples that have helped him in various aspects of life, ranging from personal relationships, health and career, to personal growth, finances, emotional intelligence and fostering financial literacy in children. The book will help readers put together a plan for themselves and for their families, using principles that have proven to be successful. An agreement to publish another book was reached with the publisher and should be out in 2021.

Mr. LaMonaca enjoys spending time with his wife Monica, who has been his partner for more than 40 years now, and with their two children, Alyssa & Gregory. He enjoys reading, writing, playing bongos, congas, weight lifting and training in the martial arts with a variety of traditional Filipino weapons. His biggest goal is to create a lasting legacy that will long survive him.

The LaMonaca Law Band's Brutally Honest Front Man
To simply review one person at LaMonaca Law is inadequate, because the firm doesn’t work as just one person. And to simply give five stars without amplifying context is inadequate, because five stars doesn’t do the stunning quality and exceptional performance of this family law firm sufficient justice. While this is written for Greg LaMonaca, interested parties can also find public reviews of Alicia Fastman and Melissa Towsey Rich on their profiles, as they were also involved with my case. I came to LaMonaca Law by referral after receiving a negative custody evaluation six weeks before a scheduled trial. Because the trial was the culminating event in a three year custody battle, the custody evaluation’s results had convinced my former attorney that my cause was hopeless. To the evaluator, I was a selfish, aggressive person who couldn't put my children's needs ahead of my own. Saying I faced an uphill battle is an overwhelming understatement. From our first call, Greg believed in me. He saw the evaluation’s fallacies and understood I was striving to be a loving, caring Dad and willing to fight for my children. I also was committed to the LaMonaca Law process, which, first and foremost, obligated me to acknowledge things I genuinely needed to work on to be the best Dad and co-parent I can be. In six weeks, the LaMonaca Law team mobilized for trial, and made me the firm’s priority. This time frame is almost impossible, but LaMonaca Law made it happen. The Team concept is critical to understanding the value LaMonaca Law provides. Greg works like the conductor of an orchestra, or as the front man of a rock band (think of him as the Mick Jagger or Axl Rose of LaMonaca Law). He’s the face and force that keep the Team together, and the energy and emotion to keep the music going. His vision and tools—such as Brutally Honest, VAKOG, and his books—harmonize everyone’s collective capacity to play on and move the Team ahead at full tilt. The trial result was phenomenal. Although as a team we prepared extensive evidence identifying the custody evaluation’s flaws, the judge essentially observed the same flaws in the report our team was prepared to present. The judge then disregarded the custody evaluation and refused to consider diagnosis or conclusions. The result was a favorable custody order that achieved our team goal: obtaining fair custodial time and a custody schedule to enable me to be the best Dad and co-parent I can be. While the trial result was as much of a best case scenario as any of us had envisioned, LaMonaca Law is not just about winning, but instead about becoming team members for the long run. Custody matters rarely stop at one trial or hearing, and often go back to court many times before children turn 18. As such, the foundation LaMonaca Law and I have formed allows me to go forward as a Dad and co-parent with commitment, resilience, and strength. I’m a combat veteran, and when writing letters of recommendation for people with whom I served, one of the lines I often use is: I would trust this person with my life and the lives of my family. With LaMonaca Law, I did exactly that, and more. For me, this custody battle was as much of an equivalent to combat as I’ve experienced since leaving military service. The difference was that while combat measured what I would willingly die for, pursuing a fair custody order defined what I want to live for: being a father for my children. While I certainly hope I am not obligated to enter this arena of strife again anytime soon, if compelled to do so again, I will go with LaMonaca Law in a heartbeat. I cannot recommend LaMonaca Law highly enough!

Response from Gregory LaMonaca September 25, 2019
Thank you very much Dave. It is always easy representing dedicated, loving and caring parents. We do take great pride in our team approach. As such, it is no one person that ever deserves praise. It is the combined efforts of all, including yourself, that makes the difference. Thank you again for the opportunity to assist you and your children.

A Family Law Firm that Treats you Like Family
“Your case is far from the norm”. For years, this is what I have heard, not only my attorneys, but from two Chester County judges and therapists/professionals in the double digits. My divorce and custody case was/is far from the norm. It has turned out to be a very challenging, trying, and emotional divorce/custody matter since 2013. Every step of the way, LaMonaca Law has been there for me in every possible way. Being falsely accused of matters that separates a parent their child is one of the most difficult and emotional situations a parent can go through. It is also one of the hardest things to combat and expose the truth, especially as a father and especially when the falsely accusing parent has an agenda to rid the falsely accused parent from the child’s life forever. This has been my situation. After hearing my story and studying my case, Greg and his staff had complete faith in me and what I was fighting for. This was/is so important to me, because without that faith and belief in me and my cause, LaMonaca Law would not be involved in my case. My case has been, and still is, a very difficult and emotional experience for not only me, but my family and loved ones. Greg and his staff have and keeps me grounded and focused on what I need to do to get through difficult times. I often receive calls from Greg to “check in” with me to make sure I am doing ok mentally. This is what separates Greg from other family law attorneys. He does this not only as my attorney, but also as a friend and a believer in justice. This firm truly cares about you and will fight for your legal rights. Over the course of my divorce/custody matter, there have been twists and turns that even Greg and his staff had not experienced but had anticipated. One of the best attributes of LaMonaca Law is their preparation and planning. Multiple scenarios are anticipated and there is always a plan A, B, C & D. Greg and his staff have the know-how to think outside the box and venture new and unchartered paths to reach the end goal. I know there are many fathers who have had their children taken away or have very limited access to them as well as fathers who have been disparaged and even wrongly accused of criminal acts committed against their children. LaMonaca Law has done groundbreaking work in uncharted territories in this area. I am not sure just how many clients LaMonaca Law has, but I am made to feel that I am their only client. If you need a superior Family Law firm to represent you, I strongly recommend the Law Firm of Gregory P. LaMonaca. Greg LaMonaca and his staff are true professionals in every sense of the word.

Great firm
I was so impressed with LaMonaca Law, in the way they showed professionalism around my case. There is no question in my mind that every person there who worked on my case truly cared about me and my future. In a field - divorce law - that has a reputation for a distanced level of abrasiveness, LaMonaca law showed me nothing but a warm embrace based on personalized attention - I got to see a whole different side of what is usually an unpleasant process. Most importantly, they really know marital law, as well as all the idiosyncrasies that pertain to the guidelines and practices of Delaware County. They knew the details of my case, and they understood well the challenges I was dealing with in my divorce case. I stand squarely behind my recommendation of LaMonaca Law!

Clearly a cut above
Greg Lamonaca has assembled a great team and I was very fortunate to have them on my side during a difficult divorce, custody, and relocation matter before the court. The strategy he put together was flawlessly executed and resulted in a favorable outcome for me and my children. Greg was always quick to respond at all hours, very proactive with his counsel, and was able to anticipate opposing party's moves before they made them. Only a true professional with years of experience in these matters would have been able to perform flawlessly in this manner and achieve the positive results. I wholeheartedly recommend Greg and his team, I can see why he was referred to me by other attorneys, why he is so well respected in the legal community, and why he is constantly voted one of the best attorneys on the main line.

Great
I started my journey meeting with 7 different lawyers in Delco. I wasn’t 100% sure what I was looking for but I knew I needed someone passionate about what they do because I was trying to get a 50-50 custody split of my son. After I met with Greg I knew instantly he is the person I wanted to represent me. Greg is a great lawyer but an even a better person. There was no doubt in my mind after I met with him that I wanted him to represent me. Greg truly cares and understands the challenge of going through a custody battle and divorce. He has sound advice and truly wants what’s best for the child in the situation. He has helped me tremendously from a personal perspective over the last 1.5 years and for that I can’t thank him or his team enough. He is always available and could steer me in the right direction. The team approach is also wonderful as everyone has stepped in at various times to help in my case. Both Greg and Melissa are fantastic and I would highly recommend them

Unparalleled Care
My very close friend is a client of LaMonaca Law. With my friend I have lived through his uniquely complicated custody and divorce case. The care and concern they have shown him is heartwarming. If it weren’t for their diligence, unparalleled professionalism and “all in” spirit his case would have come to an end. I can sincerely state without reservation that you will find NO better representation than LaMonaca Law.

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST
When I first contacted Greg Lamonaca, I was newly separated from my husband and I was terrified. Attorney LaMonaca returned my phone calls and e-mails promptly (within a few hours, EVERY time) and talked me through the entire process of divorce, child custody, support and division of assets. Whenever I had a question, he was there for me. He clearly explained what I deserved in my divorce and what we needed to do to get it. He is tough and will get you what you deserve while always recognizing that you are a human being, going through a difficult time. I recommend him without reservation.

World's Greatest Family Lawyer
I recently had the pleasure of retaining the services of Gregorv P. LaMonaca's office. ~This experience came at the most difficult and upsetting time of mv entire life. I was terrified as I had spent over five years with lawyers that were bullied out of the courtroom and unable to assert mv position effectively in a custody matter involving a controlling ex husband. It had gone on for so long and I was so down that I felt there was nothing I could do to protect mvself and mv children from this never ending legal assault. Finally, in desperation, after wasting thousands of dollars I didn't have to spare as a single mother, I spoke to mv parents and begged them to help me fight off this attack. Mv children are evervthing that matters in mv life. The thought of losing them to my ex husband who was essentially a morally bankrupt drug & alcohol abusing control freak with more dollars than sense was more than I could bear. Mv parents, thankfullv, were able to let me borrow the retainer to secure the services of Greg LaMonaca. He was rated highly on line & wrote books about helping people through their battles successfully, it was exactly what I needed. I especially liked that he made mention on numerous occasions in mv reading that he wasn't afraid of a fight in court if necessary. He indicated that he wasn't there to make friends at the court house as I often noted Evan K. Hambleton, Esquire doing ad nauseum. He was there to defend and protect the rights of his clients. All of this seemed to match what I needed exactly. So, off we went. Greg does NOT disappoint. He is charismatic, charming, obviously proficient in his field. He was a force to be reckoned with I could tell after only a few moments with him. The opposing counsel, over the course of vears had always bullied me around. I was an easy target given that often I couldn't afford a lawver or had one that was from the bargain basement rack in previous litigation. I wasn't anticipating the aftermath of ONE TELEPHONE CALL FROM GREG TO EVAN. I met with Greg LaMonaca on November 20th. Bv the end of business the following dav Evan had called off all the dogs that mattered to me, the custody modification dogs were off the table. ~Literally, one phone call must have struck fear into the heart of the normally aggressive and abusive opposing counsel. Now, of course nothing is that simple, it took time & effort to work out the details, and Greg's support staff & Greg himself did that seamlessly. I mav have mentioned previously that I wasn't the richest person in the world. I have a small flower shop and we just float above the water line if I'm honest. Greg, knowing that, extended mv family EXTENSIVE CREDITS out of the kindness of his heart. He saved mv children & myself from a fate I don't even know the horrors which would have ensued had I lost mv sons and also kept us out of the poor house all in one heroic swoop. I had been struggling with mv faith in people, humanitv, God. I literally asked God to send me a sign that things would get better because if one more bad thing happened to me, I just couldn't take it. When I got home vesterdav I found an email from Greg LaMonaca indicating that he had decided to choose ME and MY FAMILY to receive an extensive financial discount for all his exceptional top shelf services. I couldn't believe I actually got a sign from God when I asked for one. ~I believe that God uses Greg LaMonaca as an instrument of peace & good will in the world. I know he didn't realize the depth of what his kindness did for mv familv, mv faith & mv overall well being. He is a blessing. I highly recommend that when you are in that lowest part of your life, look for Greg LaMonaca and his firm to pull vou out of the darkness & get you to the light at the end of the tunnel. I cannot express my gratitude or praise him enough. I want all to know that good lawyers do exist. They're in Malvern, Pa. <3

Present Client
I have known these lawyers for many years. Personally and professionally. I have always held them in the highest regard. My opinion of the family law practice and the lawyers that make their living in this field has been jaded. I just didn’t get it. Then I personally became involved with this firm. They value their client first, not their own egos. They go the next step and beyond. They actually care. It starts at the top but as you reach each level, you realize that the “team” all treat you the same way. That is the personalization of the firm. However, the most important issue is their knowledge of the family law practice. The ins and outs of how to work “The Law”. This is another way that they stand out. They are incredibly knowledgeable. Don’t make a mistake by getting vengeance or a piece of flesh. Do what is right and listen to Greg, Larry, Melissa and the rest. You will feel good about yourself if you do.

A Family Law Firm that Treats You Like Family
After my separation, I had no idea what lied ahead of me. I could never have imagined I would be accused of such horrific acts by the woman whom I was married to and had a child with. What I thought would be an amicable divorce, turned into a horrifying and shocking ordeal that has altered my life forever. I retained Greg LaMonaca four months into my divorce/custody matter and after my first meeting with him and Larry Welsh, Greg had an understanding on my dire situation and had a plan of direction. After my initial meeting with Greg and Larry, I knew I had the right firm representing me. My case has been, and still is, a very difficult and emotional experience for not only me, but my family and friends. Greg has and still does keep me grounded and helps me get through difficult times. He does this not only as my attorney, but also a friend. That is what separates Greg and his staff from others in the practice of Family Law. They truly care about you and will fight for your legal rights. That has meant a great deal to me and has helped me get through many trying times. Greg and his staff have always kept me informed of updates and changes involving my case and they always get back to me in a timely manner. After hours and weekends are not uncommon to receive a phone call or e-Mail from one of the staff members. Greg and his team have also worked all hours of the day and on weekends. There is no 9-5 schedule for the attorneys of LaMonaca Law. Over the course of my divorce/custody matter, there have been twists and turns that even Greg and his staff had not experienced, but had anticipated. One of the best attributes Greg has is in his preparation and planning. Greg prepares for multiple scenarios and always has a plan A, B, C & D. As for my case, I am sure he has reached plans E and F, no kidding! Bottom line is that Greg is prepared for anything. I am not sure just how many clients LaMonaca Law has, but I am made to feel that I am their only client. If you are fortunate enough to be represented by LaMonaca Law, you will know the depth of their determination to fight for your cause and see your case through to the ending you envisioned.

Found Greg? Look NO Further. (period)
As I read through all of the 5-star reviews on this site, I nod my head as I could write those exact words myself. I don't know how Greg does this for so many clients as I too, thought I was the only one! I was divorced in 2005 and since went through some extremely nasty allegations, with children suffering parental alienation syndrome and hostile aggressive parenting from ex-spouse and family. I had gone through several recommended and popular (i.e.: WIP advertised) law firms over the years, as well as pro-se representation and had essentially given up, resigned to the fact that "Fathers have no rights". I happened to stumble upon Greg through my research on PAS and HAP. All I can say is that I wish I had found him 10 years ago. First off, I was shocked when I call the listed number and asked to speak to Greg LaMonaca... "Speaking" That simple attention and first impression carried on through the entire engagement. Greg listened intently, understood and empathized. He was laser-focused on my goals and went over and above to achieve all of them (and then some). He saved the only remaining relationship I had with my youngest of three daughters. He put her and my relationship with her above everything else and did not back down. His staff is great! I would not hesitate for a second to engage with Greg again and highly recommend.

The Firm and Greg are Great!
Remove “YOUR” fears and take control of your future with The Law Offices of Gregory LaMonaca! My emotions were running rampant, my fears of losing everything I worked 20 years for was controlling my every thought, my hopes were fading and I was a mess. If it was not for Greg and his staff who knows where my family would be now. As soon as you walk into his office and meet with his team your mind and concerns are put at ease. My previous lawyers made me feel somewhat inferior but Greg made me feel like part of his family and that he was going to fight for our rights like only a family member would. Every time I called I got a call back within 30 minutes, every question I had was answered, every concern I had for my family was removed. On day one, Greg clearly laid out the strategy and the path we would be on during my case. It took almost a year and everything he said was accurate. Each bill was clearly itemized and reflected my own records. Additionally, to my complete surprise, as my case ended I received a note from Greg. He had hand written a personal message thanking “me” for trusting him and his team with my case. He expressed some very personal thoughts about our family that made me cry tears of joy. He really knew all of us on a personal level as only a family member would. I often pull out that personal note and reflect on it to bring me back to center. He was thanking me? I owe him and his team the upmost of THANKS. If you need a family law firm do not hesitate to call Greg and his team. You will quickly realize you did the best thing for yourself and your family the minute you walk into his offices and meet his team. His passion and knowledge for the law shines through! He is a very special person.

The Children Come First
Greg LaMonaca and Melissa Towsey have given me hope. I have three children, work full-time and have an average job as a computer programmer. I live in Chester County, PA. Through the hard work and dedication of Greg and Melissa, I was able to get primary custody of all three children. I have close to 90% custody. It was not a miracle. It was solely because of Greg and Melissa that the children are as happy and healthy as they are now. At times, I felt like they treated me as if I was their only client. They responded to every single phone call and email, even if it was in the evening. I was going through a high conflict divorce with a very hostile person. Although I was very upset and pessimistic, they kept an unwavering focus on what was best for me and the children. They remembered everything about our lives, inside and out. They were both so empathetic and optimistic. Both in court and in conversations with me, they kept reinforcing that I focus on what is best for the children and to let all the little things go. The children can now have a normal childhood because of everything they have done. We will always be indebted to them. I look forward to the day that I can call them and tell them how the children turned out. They really are the best. I wasn't sure where to post a review like this, so I figured I'd start here.

Custody Matter
Greg LaMonaca is an amazing attorney. There are no words that can quite describe my gratitude to Greg LaMonaca for his professionalism, expertise, work ethic, and candor. Ever since our first meeting, Greg made me feel he genuinely had concerns about my case, wellbeing and family. Throughout the process of my case Greg was very candid with me in regards to the possible outcomes. He also gave great advice and inspiring words of encouragement. Greg is reliable, trustworthy and not to mention his attention to detail and follow up is impeccable. Greg is the definition of a remarkable attorney. I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to meet and have Greg represent me in gaining more custody of my daughters. Thank you, Greg. For anyone in need of an attorney who truly cares and who will fight for you, I strongly recommend Greg LaMonaca.

Divorce and separation Attorney | Sep 23

"Greg's ability to win and his extraordinary skills caused him to be voted "Top Lawyer" in Main Line Today magazine, by his legal peers. He won this award more times than any other divorce attorney in the history of the poll. His public speaking skills are a matter of endless praise and admiration-e.g. Greg LaMonaca was able to bring Anthony Robbins to tears on national television, with one of his talks. (It can be seen on Youtube) Ergo, he's the person you want speaking on your behalf!"

"It is with the greatest privilege that I am endorsing Greg. I have been an associate of Greg for about a year now and during that time, Greg has shown me what it takes to become a highly respected and successful attorney. He always works harder and longer for his clients to get the best possible outcome. The hours of 9 to 5 do not exist at our firm. Greg has shown the up most commitment to his clients by being available almost around the clock. There is a simple reason for this -- Family Law does not have a 9 to 5 schedule. I highly recommend Greg (and our firm) for your family law needs."

"It is my sincere honor & privilege to write thsi recommendation on behalf of my good friend, Gregory P. LaMonaca, Esq. I have known Mr. LaMonaca for nearly two decades; he is the hardest working, best family law attorney that I have ever met. He is also an amazing person, who has authored a book, owned & operated a toy store, & engaged in various other ventures. During the time that I have known Mr. LaMonaca, I have sent countless friends & family members to him & he has always delivered professional, honest & vigerous representation of these clients. I can also truly say that Mr. LaMonaca is not only a tremendous attorney, but, more importanly, he is a wonderful husband & father & one of the best friends that anyone could ask for. Therefore, without reservation, I hereby offer my highest recommendation for Mr. LaMonaca! Robert E. O'Connor"
