Fantastic lawyer!!

Monique is an amazing lawyer, she really listens to her clients and gives them her honest opinion on the case. We knew I was innocent from the beginning of this whole ordeal but we had to go through the court process to prove it. She stayed in close contact with me, made me feel like I wasn't just an...other "win" I was an actual person. She worked with my finances so I could hire her. One of the nicest honest lawyers around! If anyone needs a lawyer I will be sure to send them her card!

Powerful lawyer will get you positive results!

Monique is a wonderful lawyer. From the beginning she made me feel safe, understand, and she clearly listened to everything I had to say. She asked questions of myself and my case that I had not even thought about and helped me better understand myself and my situation. She was extremely realistic... about my case and made me feel hopeful of the outcome. She got me exactly what I asked for, I couldn't have been happier. Monique has experience with many types of cases and is one of the most knowledgeable lawyers I know. I would recommend her to anyone who is in need of a compassionate, intelligent, hard working attorney who is determined to meet your needs.

She will fight for you. You can't go wrong with this woman.

I love this woman for everything she has done for my case. We will meet in person and discuss what is happing with my case, what is going to happen and what may happen. I was never left in the dark about what was going on. Several times I asked the same question over again because I was unsure about ...a situation and she answered as if it was the first time. She has a lot of patience and she wants to know everything about your situation that may help in the courtroom. Mrs. Hill was always on time and in the courtroom before I was. My case has just ended and I am so happy of the outcome. I have already told people about her if they need a lawyer. She cares a lot about your situation and getting what you asked for. If I had to do it again I surely would, without blinking twice. Thank you Mrs. Hill.

"I have worked with Monique on several cases. Her knowledge of the courts in Ventura and relationships with the court personnel are a valued asset. She probably knows her way around the local courts more than any other lawyer in her area. She is great to work with."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
