Determined attorney

Monica and Team, You patiently and tirelessly worked on my loved ones case. The charges were serious and the circumstances were challenging but you persevered and ultimately got my loved one the desired outcome. Monica, You were empathetic, honest, positive and a great listener through this horribl...e situation. Our family can’t thank you and your team enough. I hope to never need your services again but I recommend you to anyone who has a criminal case and has some form of SMI. You have given our family hope for a better future for our loved one. Thank you

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.
