Tamara, a Divorce client
It was a blessing from above to find Monique, she took charge of my case at once, she was polite with the Judge and firm with, the opposite Attorney, during negotiations Monique was fearless, she look at the opposite Attorney in the face and made her feel as if the only reason she was born was to agree to our terms of the parenting plan. It was superb!

After switching to Monique, I realized there was hope in coming out of the process intact and be able to see my kids etc. She really turned the negotiations around and the other side really backed off with all the crap they were trying to pull. Ended up with a very fair settlement.
