Exceptional Attorney

I cannot recommend Monica Scherer highly enough. From the very beginning, she demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication that immediately put me at ease. Monica is not only incredibly knowledgeable in her field, but she also takes the time to truly understand her ...client’s situation and explain every step of the process clearly and thoughtfully. Her work ethic is unmatched. Monica went above and beyond at every stage of my case, consistently showing attention to detail, responsiveness, and genuine care for achieving the best possible outcome. She was always prepared, proactive, and several steps ahead, which made a stressful situation far more manageable. What truly sets Monica apart is her commitment to her clients. She treated my case with the highest level of importance, advocated strongly on my behalf, and never settled for anything less than excellence. If you are looking for an attorney who is highly skilled, dependable, compassionate, and relentless in pursuing the best results, Monica Scherer is the attorney you want by your side. I am deeply grateful for her work and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone in need of outstanding legal representation.

Will Fight for You with Empathy and Rigor

Monica's tough but kind...and brilliant. This is the best combination, especially when opposing counsel is inflammatory and immature (as my ex-husband's attorneys were). Monica did an excellent job representing me and the outcome in my case was much better than even the best case scenario I had hoped... for; I got a generous settlement but more importantly, custody of my child (in a split custody jurisdiction). Throughout the storm of a highly contentious litigated case, Monica kept me calm so I could focus on what mattered most: my child. Her fee's high but was a small price to pay for the results...and for my freedom.

Couldn’t Ask for a Better Lawyer

Monica and a colleague of hers worked with me on a very complicated and contentious case related to my divorce and succeeded in helping me get the financial settlement I deserved. She was tough, knowledgeable, compassionate, and responsive to my calls and emails. I could tell from the first phone cal...l that she would go to bat for me. I would recommend her to anyone going through a difficult divorce.

Incredible Attorney

There aren’t words to explain my gratitude for Monica. I came to Monica at the most vulnerable and terrifying time in my life when my infant became the center of a sudden, high conflict and contentious custody situation. Her knowledge, experience and expertise in family law is apparent from the begin...ning. Monica posses a great deal of honesty, integrity and ethical practices. Monica is 100% honest in communication, she is upfront about the reality of the situation whether it is good, bad or ugly. Monica’s quick response time and availability to her clients is second to none. I have been with Monica for three years and will remain with her for the next fifteen years.

President

Monica has been excellent throughout the entire family law engagement. We had very complex legal issues, and she navigated them efficiently and thoroughly. Since my first engagement, I have recommended multiple friends to her. Saying I highly recommend Monica and her firm is an understatement.
