Simply the best

Monika took my wife's case when another lawyer had already exhausted all avenues and lost. It was extremely difficult, because the only way to go forward with our case was to get the old case reopened. Not only did she obtain a reopening when there was no benefit to the government, but she did so b...y being nice. My wife not only received her green card, but has since obtained her US Citizenship and will be a benefit to this country. I cannot imagine any other lawyer being capable of getting this far with a "lost cause" case.

Good

She has excellent communication skills and get back to client promptly. Her Paralegal is a good lady as well.

Not recommended

Would never recommend her services to anyone. She charged me $50 for a phone consultation & the whole time she was distracted. Even the advice she gave me was not sound.

Avvo Rating

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.
