A-1 Attorney

Monika Ridley was my Divorce Attorney in 2017, she was very knowledgeable and hands on. Hiring Monika was the best decision I could have made during this horrible process. Mrs. Ridley made this heavy burden definitely lighter for me. God sent me someone who represented me with my every concern and ne...ed met. Thank you Monika Ridley for all your support and guidance. God Bless, Michelle Greer

Ms.

Monika Ridley put my mind at ease with the skill she had in navigating my divorce and it's complexities. I felt she was very competent and quick in her work and communications. I am ever grateful for all her expertise and would highly recommend her.

Incredible Attorney

Thank you so much for all your hard work and direction you’ve given me throughout this process. I feel so relieved, like a huge weight has been lifted. I’m so grateful to have you as an attorney.

won’t call back or return calls for months.

Do not hire this attorney. She will not do the work or call you back or answer your emails after she takes your money. She messed up my case and didn’t file properly what I asked and lost a hearing. She is incompetent.

A lawyer’s duty to keep client confidences has few exceptions and in an abundance of caution I do not feel at liberty to respond in a point-by-point fashion in this forum. Suffice it to say that I do not believe that the post presents a fair and accurate picture of the events.

Great Lawyer- full of knowledge

Monika took the time upfront to explain all the steps in the process for this unfortunate event. Her and her team took great care - answering all questions and let me know they were looking out for me. She was very thorough! Monika is an excellent lawyer, very compassionate, knowledgeable, and someo...ne you want on your team.

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.
