Monika's Team is AMAZING

THANK GOD it's over. My lawyer Hannah was the absolute best. Her team Danielle and Victoria made this divorce as painless as possible. I was married to a narcissist for 7 years. My lawyer and her team even had to endure some of his BS. For that I will always be sorry, but they handled that and everyt...hing else like a pro! I thank god I came across their information and appreciate everything they have done for me!!

Best Lawyer

Monika and her team are absolutely exceptional. I dealt with one of the worst divorces I’ve ever read about. Ex tried to take kids and ruin me for good. Through her thoughtful and caring recommendations and handling of my case I now have joint custody of my kids and a fair settlement on all finances.... I really mean it when I say this was one of the worst. My name was dragged through the mud to every authority involved in this case regarding custody. The lies were insurmountable, and if it wasn’t for Monika’s calm demeanor and overwhelming amount of knowledge I never would have had a shot a joint custody. In the end, we conquered all of my Ex’s lies and brought them to everyone’s attention. Suddenly my Ex’s credibility was completely shot due to Monika’s ability to point out the obvious facts and calmly deliver her defense. I would strongly recommend Monika to anyone in a divorce and you can feel extremely confident that your case is being held with the utmost care by her and her staff.

Highly recommended

Monika and her entire team was extremely helpful and responsive during my divorce. My case was complicated with an EOP, child custody concerns including consideration of a GAL, and relocation out of state. Not only were they knowledgeable they were compassionate while still being realistic. My out...come was favorable for myself and my child. I would recommend this office to anyone who finds themselves in the situation I was in.

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.
