An Outstanding Advocate

Dan Monahan was the first lawyer I ever needed in my life. And, while the circumstances for requiring his representation were unpleasant, and at times challenging, Dan was a steadfast and reassuring presence throughout my experience. I would not have wanted anyone one else as my advocate. He was t...he consummate professional throughout my experience; his dedication to my case was the apparent factor in a very successful outcome. Many times during the course of the proceedings in which Dan represented me, I was unsure, or anxious, or had questions. His prompt replies gave me a great sense of comfort; as he always addressed my concerns with care, experienced insight, and a reassuring tone which made more difference to me than he probably knew. I can't thank him enough.

Great Worker's Compensation Attorney

I engaged Dan to represent me with respect to a Worker's Compensation Claim. He did a tremendous job and knows that area of law as well as anyone. He was professional and courteous at all times. We had a good outcome.

Review of Daniel Monahan

Dan Monahan is an outstanding lawyer whose litigation and legal skills are magnificent. His analysis of a case is excellent, his negotiating skills are wonderful, and his ability to bring a matter to resolution is outstanding. I have been very satisfied with Dan's work and would highly recommend him ...to others.

Premises Liability

Dan has been very thorough during each step of the process. He is professional and maintains constant follow-ups so that I was fully informed each step of the way. I highly recommend Dan Monahan.

Workers comp claim

Dan Monahan is presently representing me on a workers comp claim. I fell while on my job and tore my rotator cuff in my right shoulder, and received surgery. Dan arranged for maximum weekly payments, and is in the process of a settlement. Dan is definitely the man to have representing you! He's t...he best!

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.
