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.

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.

Succeeded on case for an out of state client

Monika and staff handled all my needs on a civil case remotely. She oversaw the convoluted trust case and handled the messy / illegal actions of the defendants. She made management of my case bearable from the west coast.

Truly Compassionate

I hired Monika's office because after I consulted with many attorneys, I found that she was the only one that seemed to really care about my case. After I retained her office, I was not disappointed. Monika did an excellent job in Court for me, even though my ex and I were in a bitter custody disput...e -- I felt like Monika was there for me every step of the way, both in and out of court. Sometimes I just needed an ear and she and her staff were always there to lend it. And in the end, we were able to prevail and now I can be a parent to my children for the same amount of time as my ex. I truly believe that without Monika by my side, I would not have been able to be where I am at. Thank you Monika and everyone on your team!

Great, Caring Team of Tough Lawyers

Monika and her team have handled an incredibly complicated custody case for my family. They are experts who listen to their clients and will always keep you updated. And they are large enough to cover unexpected runs to court. The best thing is to see their written and trial presentations. They ...cover all the bases powerfully and as efficiently as possible. I fully recommend Monika and her growing team.

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.
