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.

Well prepared and capable attorney!

Mrs. Scherer took on my civil case on the 1st of September and we were in court on the 5th of September 2023. She had a no-cost consultation on the first and began preparing a defense the next day. Mrs. Scherer was very thorough and most importantly patient, as she advised me of my options and detail...s pertaining to them. I am very impressed with how well-prepared she was and how she anticipated events and arguments in court. I am pleased to say Mrs. Scherer was successful in having the case dismissed. I will be grateful to her for many years to come.

Monica and her team absolutely nailed it with my divorce case. They were very responsive, explained the process, and helped me make several tough choices. Gathering documents is the worst part and they even made that process easy on me. I would highly recommend Monica!

a first rate professional!!

Monica Scherer is an attorney with superior organizational skills, compassion, and intellect. I was extremely grateful for Monica's patience, skill, and expertise help me navigate a very difficult and contentious child custody case toward a favorable outcome for me and my children. Monica's attention... to detail is impeccable and her diplomatic/negotiation skills with working with the other side are extraordinary. Monica is simultaneously tough and compassionate and always aims to find the best solution to a conflict that results in an outcome that best benefits the children. She puts a great deal of preparation before going to court. She and her entire team are highly accessible and were always available with my questions or concerns throughout my case. She is the best attorney I have ever worked with, in any area of law.

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!!
