Client Reviews
Jacqueline G. May 28, 2025
Expert Family Law Attorney I couldn't be more grateful for the exceptional work Monica did for me. My case was uniquely complex, and with the other party choosing to litigate pro se as a strategy, it made my case even more challenging for any attorney. I was thoroughly impressed with her exceptional expertise in Family Law and her ability to stay ahead of the game while efficiently establishing effective strategies throughout the process. Monica seized every opportunity to advance my case, which ultimately proceeded to court as we anticipated from the start. I was particularly impressed by her ability to foresee events and arguments in court, and her meticulous preparation for every aspect of a challenging 2-day merits hearing, especially when it came to convincingly presenting the issue of Voluntary Impoverishment. Monica truly went above and beyond to ensure I achieved the best possible outcome. She is highly respected within the legal community, and I wholeheartedly give her my highest recommendation!
