Excellent care and support, excellent results!

Monica Scherer has been an outstanding advocate for our family. Unlike many attorneys, she responds rapidly to emails, listens to her clients, and focuses on what matters. Should we need an attorney again we would definitely seek her support, and we highly recommend her to anyone else.

Very Knowledgeable and patient.

I worked with Monica Scherer for my divorce. Her advice was spot on and my divorce was concluded amicably. Monica is is very experienced and knowledgeable. I was very satisfied with the settlement that she negotiated. I recommend her highly.

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!

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.

Absolutely thorough

I retained Monica in my divorce case which I felt was heading to litigation. From the moment I hired her I felt a sense of relief that she had this under control and nothing would be missed. She was ahead of the game in dealing with the opposing attorneys which made me feel secure. She communicated a...ny developments immediately and was always available to answer questions. In addition to being efficient and knowledgeable she is also kind and understanding and appreciates how difficult this awful process is. Ultimately it was my decision not to proceed with litigation as an agreement was reached. I know she felt that we had a strong chance of success in court and with Monica I don’t doubt that. I feel confident that she would have achieved a great outcome for me and I would not like to face Monica on the other side in court!!
