Compassionate Lawyer's

Experienced, compassionate, knowledgeable all around true professional. Monica is extremely knowledgeable in her field. Monica's calm compassionate no nonsense approach made an unfortunate custody case as stress free as possible. Monica possesses a calm and controlled personality and only escalated m...atters if needed which paired well with my case. Monica is very thorough and articulated well prepared arguments keeping my children's best interest at the forefront of the case. She was fully vested in the best possible outcome. I highly recommend her for all your family law needs.

Big League Lawyer

I contacted Silverman & Thompson through their website email one late evening in August 2019 and to my surprise Steven Silverman replied a few hours later asking for further details about our complex case. After trading emails back and forth he connected me with Monica Scherer. I needed time to retai...n counsel quickly so I asked Monica if she was able to talk the following day and sure enough she called me the next morning (while on vacation I may add!). We spent approx 1hr talking and I was immediately impressed with her level of knowledge in family court. I can't say enough about how great Monica was to work with. She is a true professional who represented us at very high level. The outcome of our case was extremely favourable for us and we are now able to move forward with our lives thanks to Monica.  She was prompt, thorough and extremely organized, not to mention caring and compassionate. I would highly recommend her for any family law matter. She is a big league lawyer and you can NOT go wrong retaining her. I wouldn't trust anyone else to handle such a critical matter and have full confidence recommending her over anyone else.

Experienced, Professional and Passionate

Monica is a highly experienced counselor who will work with you honestly andeffectively . She is not just an excellent attorney, she is also patient and very responsive to her client's needs. I am a professional person and I give her an A+ for her professionalism. I strongly recommend her for any fam...ily-related case, without hesitation or reservation.

Everything you could ask for from an attorney.

I was going through what could have become a very difficult custody battle, however with Monica's assistance she made the process and quick and painless as possible. She kept me informed every step of the way and any questions I had were answered in a timely professional manner. Thanks to her knowled...ge and skill set the matter was settled without going through a very drawn out and expensive trial. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a Family Law attorney.

Highly recommend, worth every cent

Monica helped me through the difficult process of getting divorced. She and her team handled every step with firm, guiding authority balanced with grace, poise, compassion, and kindness to both sides of the table. They handled everything professionally, efficiently, and were very responsive. I am so ...glad I chose Monica and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others needing family law services.
