Family Law

Dave Monks customized a mountain of safety on the day we met for half the cost of two prior counsel, both whom formed sloppy little hills in comparison, especially given they had the exact info Mr. Monks had. I used to get paranoid after opening my monthly statement because I couldn't fathom his reas...onable cost for such prompt, one on one responses. His ability to comprehend my situation during our first meeting in which I knew nothing of the legal system was astounding. Every angle of options were clear, sharing his veteran level knowledge took me from terrified and fragile to confident and empowered, in all matters of my rights, my child's rights, immediately prioritizing my concerns like a true boss. Over fifty-five months since that day he is still so Down To Earth, tells it how it is even when I need(ed) to hear things about myself that no one else would have the gumption to say, if I may say...a friend. Also, Vanessa has got to be one of the kindest, most patient assistants in all of Los Angeles County, and the other David (Lee), never rude or short with me even when I was frantically worried about nonsense. They will fit you in and work with your situation BAR NONE!!!

Caring and Tough. Great Family Lawyer!

Dave Monks has been my family attorney since 2016. Through the years, his counsel and support have been essential to the successful navigation of my contentious custody case. Dave is perceptive, kind, compassionate, honest, and hard-working. He provides consistent sound legal advice and with his expe...rienced representation, we’ve been able to get amazing results for my family! He’s also very straightforward about costs and helps to keep expenses to a minimum. I feel very lucky to have Dave as my advocate and I’m incredibly grateful to him for the peace of mind he brings. The entire Attorney Group staff has been wonderful. They are always responsive, patient, and understanding during times that are very difficult to get through. I’ve recommended the Attorney Group to family and friends without hesitation and will continue to.

Very professional and helpful

I have had the pleasure of working with The Attorney Group for years now and have had the highest level of service you could ask for. David Monks is an extraordinary Lawyer and has helped guide me through difficult family situations. Couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. Highly recommend!

Scammed

Paid him $1900 to represent me in Family Law Court. Asked what my interests and concerns were to file a new case in court. Promised to fulfill those interests and concerns. Gave him 4.5 months to fulfill what he promised. He gave me the run around, talked to the opposing party way more often than mys...elf, in which paid him to represent me, took the other parties side and willing to adjust paperwork according to what the other party lied about. Waited until the day before to not represent me in court. He twisted his stories around to make it seem like it was my fault just so he can take the money and run. I agree with the other person who left the review on him. You must record your conversations because he will say you are the one that had everything wrong and will exist out of the agreement the day before your hearing. I only wish I would have read the other persons review first!
