Best Divorce Lawyer

LaMonaca Law Firm was a lifesaver throughout my divorce. Greg LaMonaca’s Brutally Honest Family Law Coaching helped me tremendously. It took me from feeling helpless and hopeless to the point that I realized I could and would make it through. When you are going through a divorce, you do not think cle...arly. This program helped me confront my fears, understand my past and realize that a future was possible for me. The Strategic Planning helped me to understand the legal side of the divorce. Never going through a divorce before, I had no idea what was in store. The team at LaMonaca Law was able to calm my fears and speak to me in a way that made sense at my level – leaving out all the confusing legal terms. I was treated like a team member and not another case. When I had my freak out moments and called or sent e-mails, my fears were calmed within minutes or hours. I even received calls/e-mails on the weekends. The firm is amazing, I’m not sure how they do it, but the empathy and care they provide when your life is being turned upside down is paramount. I would recommend this firm and the Brutally Honest Family Law Coaching and Strategic Planning to anyone going through a divorce. It truly helped me feel in total control of my situation.

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. Whenev...er 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 positio...n 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.

"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."
