Monique Gilson-Moreau

I can’t believe this attorney is still in practice. I was referred by a friend, Steve Weismann, who regretted referring me. After thousands of dollars invested in her counsel. She is absolutely not qualified to practice law. She lost private documents that were due to opposing council that I later fo...und in her back office. She is in no way qualified to practice law. She is an absolute waste of your time and money. She will continuously lead you on ridiculous billable hours of nonsense that will only delay your case.

We used Monique’s service twice. The cases are many years apart, but both cases were about protecting a minor child. The first case was against online predator and the second, more complicated case, was about guardianship of a minor child. We were granted a guardianship without going to the trial, ...the case was settled. Monique is a professional, knowledgeable, and passionate lawyer. She empathizes with the client and is determined to get a positive outcome for the case. Monique effectively communicates with the Court and the Opposite Council. She and her amazing supporting team keep the client informed and promptly respond to client’s inquiries. We also appreciate detailed, accurate and timely billing. Monique is a nice person and a great lawyer; we highly recommend hiring her.

I suppose that it is human nature to write a negative review first during the most difficult, emotional part of your life, as I just read about Monique...but it is just not the situation with my experience with her, and her staff. My ex-husband was mentally, physically abusive during the marriage and... during the divorce. I ended up in the ER twice in a three month period in two different counties. I was threatened. The police and sheriff kindly protected me on several occasions. He pulled every trick in the book and beyond to the point of having to lock myself in my bedroom for weeks. As I searched for the right attorney, Monique was the one that answered my desperate email very late one evening. Her words of comfort were the empowerment I needed to hear my legal rights, to give me the courage to know, I could escape my nightmare. She never promised something she could not do. She kept me level headed and legally empowered throughout the difficult process. Her attention to detail where nothing was allowed to slip through the cracks, made me all the more able to face the challenges of the worst time of my life. I realized later as I saw all the clients coming in and out of her office, she was a very busy attorney, handling so many client's emotional and legal issues. All the while, making me feel like I was the only client she had. If you are afraid and feel like you have lost control of your life because of a mentally abusive spouse...look no further. Monique is number one in my book! I am convinced no one else could have taken my divorce and did with it as she did. She is smart and nothing gets by her. She is tough when she has to be but has a heart of gold. She is all business, but knew the perfect balance in her communications of empathy and getting the job done. I could have hired someone less expensive but she never wasted a single minute of our time. She got me out of that nightmare with my dignity back and it was worth every penny and more! I wish I could go further into detail of all the amazing ways she gave me my life back so I could have a fresh start in life again. I don't know the proper way to write the excellent review she deserves. It was not all about money as my ex would like everyone to think. I have moved on now, thanks to Monique and her paralegal Rebecca. I know I will never let anyone trick me into thinking they are someone they are not, again. Thanks to Monique, I am not a victim anymore of pure evil. I am "me" again, happy and loving life to the fullest. Pam Fleshman (I would have given her 5 stars on "kept me informed" but I learned she was on top of my case at all time. She did not need to waste my money on keeping me informed of small details. She DOES keep you informed whether it is by her or her paralegal, Rebecca (who is a doll!).

I found Monique by accident and thank God I did!!! I am divorcing an abusive man with BPD I had a lawyer who did an awful job and at the first hearing she made erroneous mistakes and put my children’s lives at risk. I found Monique and Erin when I googled Family Lawyer. I called over 20 lawyers most ...had no clue what BPD is and the ones who did wanted nothing to do with my case. When I called MGM legal Monique actually answered the phone she was happy to answer my questions she new about and had experience in BPD divorce and was ready to help me protect my children!!!!! She was able to fix the mistakes my previous lawyer made and helped me get back my full retainer. So far she and Erin have done an amazing job they have won everything we have asked for and even helped me find a wonderful therapist for my little girl. The personal attention I get from this office makes me feel like I am the only client they have and I can tell by the way they fight for us they truly care about protecting my children and I.I know my case is safe in her hands and this has given me the chance to focus on healing for myself and my kids! Thank you Monique and Erin for helping us get our lives back!!!!!!!
