Divorce Decree Modification

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.

A Superb Attorney and very pleasant office

Look no further and hire this attorney for any family law matters. Prior to hiring David, I interviewed two other attorneys for my custody modification that was brought on unexpectedly by my ex. As soon as I interviewed David, I knew I found the attorney I was looking for to represent me in my case. ...Not only did he make me feel at ease, he also made me feel that I mattered and that he honestly cared about my needs and case. I am so glad I hired him, I was so happy and grateful for the outcome at my hearing (I cried happy tears), plus he also made me feel so reassured, and calmed my nerves, and that is a big plus for me when going through a nerve-racking ordeal! Even though I still need to go to court again in a couple of months, I know David will have the best interest at heart and that I will be in good hands. Please do your self a favor and hire Castle and Monarch, you will not regret it! His office and staff are also very pleasant and comforting to work with, they answer your calls and questions right away, not common at other law firms! The only biggest regret I have is; I wish I would of found Castle and Monarch for my divorce case.

There is no better family law attorney out there. I highly recommend my attorney David Monarch!

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.

Very Knowledgeable and Supportive

David was wonderful and helped me through a tough divorce. Quick to respond to questions and knew his stuff. Also not too aggressive with billable hours. Highly recommended.

Custody battle

Mr. Monarch is very professional and has incredible knowledge about family law and the court system. He was able to increase my custody and arrange a better schedule with my daughter. I would highly recommend him to my friends, family and colleagues.
