Recommendation

Often in the course of business we recognize the contributions of those individuals who greatly contribute to our success and well-being. I am writing to acknowledge and express my sincere appreciation to Monica Scherer who has assisted me with professional and sound legal advice for the past severa...l years. Monica is a very effective communicator who balances candor and sensitivity. She works hard to resolve conflict in a very savvy and diplomatic manner. She offers constructive criticism and exhibits tolerance while being very fair minded, even-handed and flexible. I have witnessed her establish and maintain cooperative working relationships with opposing council while maintaining a standard of performance that does not compromise values. She takes an objective point of view of the circumstances and comes up with options for every situation. Monica has an excellent reputation in the legal community and has been recognized as a top performer. Time after time, my experience with Monica has shown that she is a highly focused individual who strives to get results. She is conscientious and extremely thorough in court and very comfortable during litigation. I am glad she is on my team. I would not hesitate to recommend Monica to my friends and business associates. If you want someone to represent you who is on top of their game, then you need Monica Scherer on your team!

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.

Effective, caring lawyer

I hired Monica to represent me in a divorce case. The case was complicated and involved family matters as well as business concerns. Monica and her associate guided me through the process in an effective and highly professional manner. Though my case did not require litigation, I felt that I was in g...ood hands had it come to that. I highly recommend Monica and her team!

Divorce with child custody

I was going through what seemed like a tough Indian divorce. Monica helped me understand the laws in the US and got my divorce in a more peaceful way than expected.

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.
