Excellent Attorney

For a difficult situation, I found the perfect lawyer. Monica provided the best communicative, professional law services I've ever come across. This process was new and difficult for me, but Monica provided sincere moral support to get me thru this process. She was compassionate and yet stood her ...ground to get the results I needed. She and her team were always available when needed, I never had to assume anything. They kept me aware of every detail of the case from start to finish. With her counsel, I was able to get the best results for my situation. She's very communicative, personable, extremely smart and knows the law. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. I would HIGHLY recommend her and her team!!

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.

Outstanding Family Law Attorney

Monica Scherer's experience, knowledge, and ability to negotiate difficult financial provisions, achieved positive results for me. When time is of the essence in a negotiation process, Monica responds immediately. Her advice is consistently well grounded, well researched, and well communicated. Mo...nica listens well, is responsive to client wishes and concerns, and is highly motivated. Monica's work product, and work ethic, meets the highest standards of the legal profession.

Child support negotiation

Monica negotiated an allowance for my two children who attend college. She was very helpful and knowledgable in the process.

Great Service

Monica was absolutely amazing during the whole process. I had delayed getting a prenuptial agreement created but Monica made sure that I was able to get it done before the wedding. This isn't a very comfortable topic and not one you want to be contemplating prior to a wedding, but Monica handled th...e process delicately. She answered every question I had and gave me her advice on areas I hadn't yet considered. After our meeting I felt completely comfortable that she was going to put together an agreement that I understood and was comfortable with. I would highly recommend her.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
