David Ryan Monarch

I had the unfortunate experience of dealing with a very contentious ex-spouse during my divorce in 2012. After 11 years and 4 attorneys, I had found myself in a situation where I needed the definitive outcome of terminating spousal support and finalizing my divorce once and for all. I was referred to... David Monarch by a close friend of mine who had a positive experience with him. I gave him a call and decided to retain him as my new counsel. Within 4 months, a final stipulation was negotiated with opposing counsel and my spousal support was terminated through a fair settlement offer. David knew what my goal was upon his hiring, and every action he took was moving towards achieving that goal. He was straight forward and direct with his communication with me, as well as to opposing counsel. He was highly reliable and responsive in my request for updates. I always knew where I stood in the case, and I felt very comfortable with every suggestion he made for next actions. David achieved my desired outcome sooner than I expected and within budget. I was extremely satisfied with my decision to hire David Monarch, and I would highly recommend him for anyone needing a results oriented attorney who is easy to work with, reliable, and highly responsive.

I came to David after my first attorney was constantly failing me and David was a breath of fresh air. David is wonderful at managing and navigating through the high emotions of a divorce. He is strategic and always available to discuss the pros and cons in all situations. Divorce is an awful busin...ess and mine was a high conflict case and David was a wonderful support and I always felt that he was on my team and had my best interest in mind.

David and his office were simply amazing. I was looking for a strong principled attorney and found it in David. I was seeking a modification to my original divorce decree which had been handled by another attorney who failed to look after my best interests. David took the time to understand the in...tricacies of my case and developed a strong understanding. He was always there when I called or emailed and he kept me appraised of the progress all along the way. He even made several unsuccessful attempts to settle prior to court but the other party was unwilling to consider any reasonable offer. Ultimately, my case went to court and David's trial skills were excellent. I was most impressed by his closing argument which I believe accurately encapsulated the entirety of my case. I can't tell you how satisfying it was to have my attorney accurately, skillfully and completely argue my case, even before the final outcome was known. The judgement was ultimately in my favor. I won in the end, based upon the truth and the merits of my case while maintaining my character in the unpleasant realm of family court. Anyone who has been to court knows the value of good representation. I know I could have spent more but I am confident that I couldn't have had better representation at any price. I highly recommend David Monarch and encourage anyone seeking an honest, hardworking, straight shooting attorney to consider him.

David was recommended to me by a family friend, a local and highly respected real estate attorney who knew of David by reputation alone almost 5 years ago. Since then, David has been my hired attorney, and I am so grateful. I cannot regard him more highly. David has navigated multiple agreements, m...odifications of support and custody, a 730 evaluation, a move away case, and several council changes from the opposing side on my behalf. In the time I have been David's client, it's become increasingly clear that David's knowledge of family law and custody court far surpasses the average attorney. Family law is, and has been, his family's business. So not only does he hold information that law school cannot teach, he navigates a courtroom with a steady comfortable confidence. He is tough, prepared, and always one step ahead. David is also generous with his time, making himself available to communicate with me by phone or email at almost any hour. Also unlike the the average attorney, and most appreciatively, David is honest, fair and reasonable. He doesn't waste time or money on nonsense proposals that wouldn't be acceptable by a judge, or get caught up in in ego fueled posturing with opposing council on my dime. He has always been clear about what is possible and what to expect, whilst holding my, and my daughter's, best interest as his priority. Going through any custody dispute is emotionally taxing at best. Through each new challenge David has been everything I would want in an attorney, even providing needed comic relief in the more difficult moments. He has truly gone above and beyond to make the process easier on me and my daughter, and I could not recommend him more highly.

I hired David to represent me in my divorce. David was knowledgeable, professional. and communicated well from the beginning to the end. There were a few times my ex wife and I disagreed about the divorce procedure and without fail the information David had given me was the way it worked. David's sup...port staff are also excellent. I couldn't have asked for better representation during a difficult time.
