She is amaing.

I hired Monica because My ex took my kids and would not return them or let me talk to them. She was amazing and always was there for me with any questions I had.

Adoption

Monica was very thorough and made sure the process went smoothly. She also headed off a problem at the court appearance that would have cost us precious time.

Monicas kindness is what got me through.

I recently went through my first divorce. I was very upset and lost. I could not find a lawyer available or one that would even answer the phone. After a full day of calls, at about 7:15pm I was so afraid and lost. Then Monica answered her phone and gave me some guidance. Monica set an appointment wi...th me the next day. I almost got a little bit of sleep that night. I hired Monica to represent me. This divorce was one of the most difficult things I have been through in my life. Monica was knowledgeable on the laws and offered the right path for my case to take. Being all alone through this, Monica was kind and considerate towards me and how I felt. I do recommend Monica and her services. Her personal touch made all the difference to me.

Very Knowledgeable

Had a great experience working with this attorney. She was dedicated to my case and always eased my concerns. She was great in court and got me the results I was looking for. She held my hand throughout the process of my divorce and advocated for my kids best interest. I would recommend this atto...rney to anyone going through a divorce.

Avvo Rating

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.
