About Daniel

I think my ability to work with a variety of individuals is the result of many of life's experiences, not merely as a lawyer for the past 38 years, but as a husband, father of three, and now grandfather of one (june 16, 2015), my relationship with my extended family and network of friends I have met over the years, many of whom I have known since I was in grade school.

I also think that work that I did during summer vacations starting when I was 15 years old introdcued me to all kinds of people. Starting when I worked as a cashier at a fast food chain, a newspaper distributing company from midnight to eight every Sunday morning throughout high school, as a merchant seaman for several summer and winter vacations during college for the SunOil Transport Company and lastly as a bartender for the DuPont Country Club and Hotel gave me experiences that you just can't learn in school.

Relating to people on an individual level is what I like most about the law practice I have which gives me great pleasure when I am able to truly make someone's life better after tragic accidents.

Review Daniel F. Monahan

An Outstanding Advocate

5.0 stars

Posted by Joseph
April 2, 2020

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 the 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.

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 the best!

Dan Monahan was recommended to me by a friend after I was seriously injured in a car accident. Mr. Monahan was very responsive to my inquiries, and he kept me advised of what to expect all along the way. He was able to settle my case prior to trial, and I am extremely satisfied with the results he was able to negotiate on my behalf. I would most definitely refer Mr. Monahan to anyone I know.

I was seriously injured in a trucking accident to which I have never fully recovered from to this day. I was referred to Mr Monahan by my prior lawyer who thought the case was beyond his abilities and expertise. From the moment I met Mr Monahan he fought to get what was rightfully mine from the insurance compamies and did not let them push me around. I am sure I would have never gotten near the settlement I received had I stuck with my other lawyer. I have sent may of my friends to seek counsel from his firm and I also continue to use his firm in the many ways as the occasion warrants. He still even keeps in contact with me just to make sure I am doing OK I think that says a lot about what a good man he is, not just the great lawyer he is.

Months after my son's auto accident, it became clear that he would have some lasting effects. Dan came highly recommended and it was the smartest decision we could have made. Dan was easy to talk to and made us feel at ease. He explained the process and fully prepared us for the experience which was often stressful. Dan was patient, understanding, and always accessible. I would not hesitate to recommend Dan Monahan to family and friends.
