Will Fight for You with Empathy and Rigor

Monica's tough but kind...and brilliant. This is the best combination, especially when opposing counsel is inflammatory and immature (as my ex-husband's attorneys were). Monica did an excellent job representing me and the outcome in my case was much better than even the best case scenario I had hoped... for; I got a generous settlement but more importantly, custody of my child (in a split custody jurisdiction). Throughout the storm of a highly contentious litigated case, Monica kept me calm so I could focus on what mattered most: my child. Her fee's high but was a small price to pay for the results...and for my freedom.

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.

Use Monica!

I have worked with Monica now for almost a year on my miserably difficult and combative divorce case. She was easily accessible by phone or email the entire time, patient and compassionate with my angst, completely on top of things (dates, orders) and found every opportunity to move my case forward. ...She was strategic and ahead of the game the entire process. Straight forward and honest, she provided realistic expectations. She totally rocked my hearing and coached me throughout negotiations to not back down (my m.o.) Her team was on the ball, helpful, supportive and competent. If you want a no nonsense attorney who knows her stuff, is highly experienced, smart as a whip, and has great people skills (and I'm a psychologist saying this)- well you can't do better than Monica!

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.
