Excellent firm with smart, competent and compassionate attorney

I hired Monika and her team to handle my divorce case. Even though the facts seem tilted in my favor, the team was very diligent in making sure that I understood the legal process, the emotional and financial toll it will take. Numerous times, Monika advised that my spouse and I should come to a...n amicable agreement and especially for the benefit of the children, but my spouse was determined to have a nasty fight and employed a scorched earth policy. The team implemented mitigating strategies to counter falsehoods, lies, dirty tricks and delay tactics such as changing attorneys. The process was ugly and contentious with opposing counsel enabling this nonsense – however my team shielded me from this and had my best interest and stayed the course. The quality of the motion filed, and responses were impeccable, thoughtful, clear, and precise with the supporting legal cases to support our positions. In court the attorneys were professional, briefs were professional, and it was obvious that The Blacha Law firm takes pride in their court preparation and delivery. The fees were affordable for the tremendous amount of work they did and the results. It was also wonderful not having to worry about unethical busy work (non-value add) billing practices, nickel and diming or “generating fees” as compare to my spouses’ legal firms. the end of the day, we won our case and got what we wanted. Monika and her team are customer centric, lends an ear when needed, provide value and delivers results. I got my life back after years of nonsense and stupid shenanigans.. I highly recommend Monika and legal team and be wary of these other “peacock” law firms that have no interest in their clients.

Monika Was Outstanding

I hired Monika for my custody case. My ex was threatening to take the children away from me even though I had been the one that always stayed home with them. Even though I knew that I deserved to be with my children, the process was nerveracking thinking I could lose them. Monika was there for me ...every step of the way. Not only did she always have reasonable advice, she did not back down in the courtroom and fought hard against my husband's attorney. In the end, I prevailed and I have Monika and her staff to thank for it.

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.

Caring Lawyer

I have worked with several lawyers in my life but honestly none have seemed to care about my case like Monika did. I felt like she was always honest with me and told me if what I wanted to say was not going to work in front of the judge but no matter what she was always on my side.

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!
