Mr. Monk put his heart into my case and was very patient and professional. He provided me with good advice, and in the process he educated me about my legal rights.

Brian Monk is great!! I would choose him 100 times over if needed! He got me exactly what I wanted and more. He worked with me through my anxiety of the case and made sure to answer every question I had. You can tell he truly cared, which you cant say about a attorney often. Thank you Brian!!

Mr. Monk took on my case for a modification of final judgement dissolution of marriage. I am so glad I chose this man to represent me in the matter. My Former Wife’s counsel was Bruno Dezayas. Mr. Dezayas is a dishonest man, with the Court anyways. Mr. Monk never deviated from his values to sink to the level that opposing counsel did and for that I am grateful. It’s nice to know that some attorneys can be held with the highest ethical regard. I would use him again if I needed advice or counsel.

I went in to my divorce, scared to death that the kids mom (very unstable, personality disorder), would end up with the kids almost full time due to my irregular work schedule in the travel industry. Brian Monk got me 50/50 time sharing for my 3 children and I get to be the dad I’ve always wanted to be! I called Brian In a panic several times. He always had the right words. Brian Monk under promises and over delivers. He won’t tell you what you want to hear. He will tell you what you need to know. I was in a dense fog dealing with a bad and broken marriage. I’m sorry Brian it took me so long to write you a great review. Thank you. The last few years have been peaceful and wonderful.

I called Brian Monk with a very complex family situation and the amount of time he took to consult with me was above and beyond what I expected. This is a lawyer with integrity and I don’t think highly of many.

I started my divorce on my own but quickly came to a point where I felt I needed to get a lawyer involved to properly finish my case. I reached out to Brian Monk who was very responsive from the start. He minimized the stress of the divorce process with his experience and calm guidance. Mr. Monk is professional and honest and will work hard on your behalf. I recommend Monk Law Firm if you want experienced representation for your divorce.

Brian was the third lawyer of mine in a complicated divorce case that had plenty of loose variables. On the day of our initial consultation, and before even officially hiring him, he patiently met with me for about two hours (maybe even more) to understand my entire case and give me advice. After I hired him, he helped me navigate through the legal system by aggressively pursing a settlement but at the same time preparing for a trial. In the end, Brian helped settle the case, saving me many additional thousands of dollars. More importantly, the settlement agreement that he crafted was very well written - small details in these types of agreements make a big difference, and he really put a lot of thought and care into it, not just to end the divorce but to contemplate future issues that might (and have already) come up. I consider Brian a friend as he really showed a lot of compassion and care during my case, and I hope to stay in touch with him. Thank you again Brian.

I retained Brian Monk for help with my divorce. I came to him in a time that was obviously stressful and he was open and direct about what to expect and what he might be able to do for me. He kept me informed throughout the process and gave great advice and counsel during mediation. We left there getting what we asked for, which was more than I thought I would. I felt very cared for during a stressful period in my life. I highly recommend him if you're dealing with a divorce.
