BEST ATTORNEY IN ORANGE COUNTY

Prior to retaining David, I had gone through three attorneys within a three year period. During that time we had several mediations without any resolution, three scheduled trials which were all continued, partial 730 evaluations ordered by my ex and through this all my prior attorneys failed to modi...fy visitation orders with my children. Additionally, my ex was very spiteful, making false allegations and unnecessarily dragging the divorce out. I truly felt like it was never going to be over. A month before what was supposed to be the 4th trial date set, I made a difficult decision to change my attorney yet again. I knew this could potentially be difficult since most attorneys don't want to clean up a mess. During my initial consultation, I was literally brought to tears by the compassion that this Law Firm has for their clients. I was impressed by their knowledge and eagerness to bring this divorce to closure; because they sincerely cared. Although I interviewed other attorneys, I immediately knew I was going to retain their Firm and hired them that day in July 2016. David was extremely comfortable in the court room, knowledgable and always had a backup plan and was always well prepared. To say my divorce and custody battle was high-conflict would be an understatement. At the initial soft-trial in September 2016, he was able to get me more custody time with my kids, this had not been changed in over a year. At the actual trial in November 2016, he successfully was able to bring my divorce and custody to closure. What my prior attorneys couldn't do in 3 years, this man did in less than 4 months. I am so grateful for David and his amazing and hard working staff. I truly owe him everything. Thank you David, you are a true "Hollywood Super Star"!

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.

Best case scenario

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.

Would Give Ten Stars!!!

David, handled my divorce modification ( filed by my Ex) with the knowledge of the law and care for me. He went beyond what others would have done! i was having treatment for a medical condition at the same time. I was able to have treatment knowing David was handling all my legal issues so i could ...focus on my care. He did the impossible, he got a settlement!! Because of David, my health is improving. He took care of me and I can't thank him or his staff enough. There is no better Lawyer and he will take care of you!..

Castle & Monarch is highly recommended with good reason.

I found David Monarch, and everyone I dealt with at Castle & Monarch, to be knowledgable, professional and compassionate in their guidance through a tough situation. My ex was difficult to deal with and yet in the end we were able to reach a settlement that was quite favorable to me. The advice I re...ceived was clearly crafted to put my needs first without adding exorbitant expense. My judgement was entered several months ago and issues have arisen since that time. David has still been available to help resolve them quickly. I remain grateful for the service and support of Castle & Monarch.
