Best Lawyer and Team Ever!

The legal team at Blacha Law Office bring the right blend of expertise, professionalism and personal attention to family law. I think everyone who has gone through a divorce or custody battle will agree that the entire process is so much easier when you have a knowledgeable and caring attorney on you...r side, and in this, Ms. Blacha and her staff go above and beyond. I firmly believe that these people are the best in the business; not only is Ms. Blacha a rock star in the courtroom, but she and her team excel at staying in communication with and giving them the best recommendation for, the client, even if that course of action is not the most lucrative. The staff are friendly and helpful, and Ms. Blacha is just as much a pleasure to work with. My only regret in working with them is that I did not find out about Blacha Law Office sooner.

Terrific Lawyer

I hired Monika after letting my previous lawyer go. Whereas he told me nothing, Monika kept me informed every step of the way. Where I didn't know whether we had a good chance or a bad chance in front of the judge with my previous attorney, Monika always told me the truth, even if the truth was not... helpful to me. Monika also knew a lot about the judge we had and I really felt that helped my case.

Divorce was Not So Bad

Monika handled my divorce and I really found that because the office is so responsive and also kept me up to date on everything that was happening in my divorce, the whole process was much less stressful than I anticipated. Monika is a caring and compassionate lawyer who will fight for you every ste...p of the way.
