Posted by John | July 10, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

A highly effective, strategic thinker who gets the job done while covering all the bases.

After I was dragged into court over a meritless claim, Monika negotiated a joint dismissal with surprising efficiency, and without damaging any business or personal relationships in the process. She has a talent for seeing the big picture while at the same time articulating the legal issues involved..., and then dealing effectively with all of the necessary details. Her professionalism, confidence and calm demeanor combined to create an immediate sense of reassurance that we had found the right person to defend our interests. I look forward to working with her again and again.

Affiliate Agreement

I used Monika for creating an Affiliate Agreement for our new affiliate program. She was professional, knew her stuff, and was really great to work with! Her rates are really reasonable as well. I will definitely be using her again in the future.

Friendly and knowledgable lawyer with the expertise that we need for the safety of our business!

We have used Monika with the Scott Law Firm for over a year now with several different documents and contracts. Service is exceptional and the last contract she drew up for us she walked us through to make sure we could use it for future sales employees. We are a web development and design shop and... having a business lawyer with expertise in the the internet law area has been greatly beneficial to our firm. We made sure we are on retainer so we can always have her expertise, knowledge and skills ready for us whenever the need arises. We would highly recommend Monika to any business seeking a good and knowledgeable lawyer.

Please be careful before approaching this attorney

I was going through some serious financial loss because of business litigation matter and approched Monika seeking her representation. After providing documentation when i met her in person she had no knowledge about my case as she did not even care to review and aftre explaining in details we... agreed on a price for a represention and next day once she realized that I am in serious trouble she called next day and double the price than what was agreed upon and her argument was it does not make any difference what i think and she will expect double payment for her to represent. I feel lucky that I did not hire her as it would have been that I am fighting the case with my own enemy on my side

We are sorry that you had a bad experience with our firm during your free consultation. We work very hard to meet the highest standards of customer service and professionalism. However, not every person is a good fit for our services. An initial consultation is not the same as agreeing to take a case. The firm does not take a case when our representation would be improper or infeasible, or when an agreement cannot be reached regarding the scope of work or fee structure. The firm also does not provide free document review services prior to a free initial consultation. Please contact the firm directly if there is something we can do to alleviate your concerns or clear up any confusion.
