About

Monica Cary’s practice focuses on family law mediation, relationship agreements, prenuptial agreements, health care power of attorney for college students, and wills and estate planning. Monica presently serves a Commissioner Pro Tempore in King County Superior Court. She is also a volunteer divorce mediator with the Volunteer Settlement Program in King County Superior Court.  Monica was selected by the Super Lawyers as a Rising Star in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014. The Rising Stars designation is given to only 2.5% of the lawyers in the state of Washington. Prior to attending law school, Monica volunteered with VISTA (the domestic Peace Corps). As a VISTA, Monica took a one year "vow of poverty". She was assigned to work in Seattle with Family Works, a family resource center and food bank in the Fremont/Wallingford area. As a VISTA, Monica helped create an Employment Resource Center for customers of the Fremont Food Bank. She recruited workshop volunteers for the family resource center where they offered free workshops for adults and children on topics ranging from bookbinding, photography and cooking to intercultural parenting classes. During law school, Monica volunteered in a Senior Center and was a "buddy" to an elderly woman who had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. After graduating from law school and joining the Oregon Bar, Monica was a judicial clerk to the Honorable Elizabeth Welch, Presiding Family Court Judge in Portland, Oregon. Judge Welch's docket consisted of strictly family law, juvenile law, and probate cases. Monica observed adult guardianship proceedings, will contests, and custody cases (to name a few). Returning to Seattle in 2002, Monica volunteered with the King County Prosecutor's office in their truancy department. Later, she worked as Deputy Prosecuting Attorney in Pierce County, Washington. Through these experiences, Monica gained specific insight into the plight of families in the courtroom. After a few years in the trenches, she decided to return her focus to working directly with families. In 2004, Monica began working in private practice. Monica's practice focuses on family law, estate planning, and mediation. Some highlights of her family law career include the successful return of a child who had been kidnapped overseas, obtaining a phased-in 50/50 parenting plan for the father of an infant at trial, and assisting several elderly couples in resolving their divorces quickly and without court intervention. Highlights of Monica's estate planning and probate career include her volunteer efforts with the Washington First Responder's Clinic (a free clinic that provides free will packages to police officers), assisting new parents with their estate plan, and making it easier for busy adults to safely maximize the independence of their elderly parents. In her free time, Monica enjoys spending time with her daughter and finding fun ways to stay fit.

Monica is a masterclass. From the very outset of my divorce process, which came as a complete shock at a very vulnerable time in my life, she provided counsel that was appropriate, sensitive, and most importantly, completely on point. As an immigrant to this country, when faced with a surprise divorce under circumstances lacking any semblance of respect, dignity, or regard for my personal situation, Monica was calm, clear-eyed and focused from day one on what was possible, what was likely and what was advisable. She was prepared to go to trial if I felt it was a path I needed to pursue, but collaborated with me to determine the most cost-effective options to negotiate what was most important to me - the opportunity to move forward with my life with my kids with stability and some semblance of certainty. In my case, we were able to reach a settlement out of court, which was ultimately what I wanted. I give all credit to Monica for making that happen. Monica was always ten steps ahead of opposing counsel, and demonstrated skill and professionalism consistent with the very best of her profession. While accessible and extremely responsive herself, she has also built a team at her law group befitting of her expertise and excellence, and I had full confidence in everyone at her office. While I wouldn’t wish the circumstances I had to navigate on anyone, I would recommend Monica in a heartbeat to anyone facing a divorce. I view the money spent on her services to be one of the best investments I’ve made and have emerged from the process a happier and more confident version of myself.

I am writing this review on Monia Cary as she helped me with a heavily disputed case for a relocation to another city and relocation to a different school with my children. I was the primary custodial parent and wanted to only move less than 10 miles away to purchase a "forever home." However, my children's father fought me tooth and nail on this relocation. I hired Monica and she was the 3rd attorney I hired. What I really loved about Monica was her quick communication and correspondence with me at all times. If I could not reach Monica, she always had someone to fill in for her. Her paralegal or another attorney in her office would always take great notes and contact Monica when she was available and Monica would get back to me. Monica also understands the court system very well and she knew how to describe all potential pro's and con's to my case. She was very accurate and I appreciated her brutal honestly in my case. She carefully weighed options for me so that I could make the best educated and most informed decisions. I also like the fact that Monica would have meetings with our attorney's in the Dubois and Cary law group and they discussed complicated cases like mine. I felt like I had a wide variety and wealth of information in which they all got together and provided their advise and comments. I had Monica's direct phone number. I never took advantage of calling her, but I knew she would always answer or concur with me in an emergency situation in which I needed immediate and direct advice. Monica worked relentlessly both day and night, I must also say that one thing I thought was one of Monica's best assets is that she never missed a date or a timeline on anything. She provided me with ample time to gather information and documentation. Other attorney's in the past would have me writing important things for my case last minute or struggling to find documentation last minute. She never had me try and struggle at the last minute with an unexpected time frame. In fact, most all of the time my items were submitted early and this did not cause me last minute additional stress. Family law cases are so stressful, so any attorney that can help you by providing ample time to figure things out is always appreciated. Monica also clearly has a good and solid rapport with arbitrators, mediators, judges, and other attorney's. You could tell you was highly respectable to others in her profession. On a last note, my father did not approve of any of my past attorney's, but he really liked Monica. My father said he can read someone in 5 minutes and he liked Monica from the beginning. I am so blessed that I was able to hire Monica. She is not cheap at all, but you also get what you pay for. I won my case and am happily living in my life long home with my children and they love their new home and school! I cannot thank Monica and her Law firm enough!

Monica Cary and her team represented me through an extremely contentious year long divorce. Her knowledge of the law, ability to deal with difficult situations/people, and network of professionals allowed me to propel through the process smoothly. Her skills were complimented by the amazing compassion she has for her clients. During the difficult and emotional rollercoaster of a divorce, Monica was able to provide me with a sense of comfort and security as I entered into a new phase of life. She met every challenge head on while being considerate of my work hours/family commitments and ability to meet and strategize. Monica was surrounded by a talented staff and partner/attorneys who also embraced me during this process. She became and remains a true confident. I am forever grateful and highly recommend Monica Cary and The DuBois Cary Law Firm.

Monica worked with my elderly father and helped him through a difficult and unwanted divorce. She was very compassionate and sensitive to his situation and absolutely understood all the variables and players involved. She recommended the best course of action while continally engaging Dad to be sure he understood and was in agreement with the plan. She was respectful of budget concerns at all times. She is so warm, caring, personable, unassuming and SMART. I can't recommend her highly enough! I am so grateful to her for all she did for my father.

I am a divorced mom with two young boys. I recently decided I had delayed putting my affairs in order for far too long. Lawyer Monica Cary came highly recommended by a close friend, so I made an appointment to meet with her in person. Monica and her staff were warm and professional and made me feel comfortable and informed. They answered all my questions to my satisfacton and put together a very thorough packet of documents that will encompass all of my future needs in regard to my estate planning. I now have great peace of mind knowing this is all complete and my and my sons futures are secure.

We arrived at the Du Bois Cary lawgroup in September of 2011. We met with Monica Cary and she was such a great listener. She spent a long time hearing the paticulars of the physical difficulties my mom was experiencing since being married at 80 years old. She is now 86. We had seen one other attorney but Monica reviewed the information and gave us a plan to get mom into a safer living situation. Monica communicated an amicable solution that resulted in a new living arrangement for my mom and she and her husband are getting along better than ever. Monica represented her perfectly. We could not be more pleased with the outcome. We have become friends with the entire staff at the Du Bois Cary group.

Monica was a lifesaver when I most needed a steady voice and knowledgeable guidance through my divorce. From the time my ex-wife and I decided to separate to the final dissolution settlement, Monica always catered her level of help in my case to what I needed, while keeping me informed of legal necessities and options. Occasionally, throughout the divorce process, when I felt like I was at a legal disadvantage relative to my ex, Monica would point out opportunities where I could gain leverage. The truth is, good legal help isn't cheap, but Monica always kept my budget in mind and gave me choices to best use my money. She was well worth it. Not only was Monica a great choice for my legal representation, but everyone in her office, from the paralegals to the partners, were always gracious and helpful.

Monica helped me get custody of my son when his mother relocated accross the country. Many people told me I didn't have a chance to get custody as a single father in the state of Washington but Monica helped prove them wrong. I am grateful all that Monica and the staff at Dubois has done for my family.

She is so warm, caring, personable, unassuming and SMART. I can't recommend her highly enough! I am so grateful to her for all she did for my father.

I am a divorced mom with two young boys. I recently decided I had delayed putting my affairs in order for far too long. Lawyer Monica Cary came highly recommended by a close friend, so I made an appointment to meet with her in person. Monica and her staff were warm and professional and made me feel comfortable and informed. They answered all my questions to my satisfacton and put together a very thorough packet of documents that will encompass all of my future needs in regard to my estate planning. I now have great peace of mind knowing this is all complete and my and my sons futures are secure.

We arrived at the Du Bois Cary lawgroup in September of 2011. We met with Monica Cary and she was such a great listener. She spent a long time hearing the paticulars of the physical difficulties my mom was experiencing since being married at 80 years old. She is now 86. We had seen one other attorney but Monica reviewed the information and gave us a plan to get mom into a safer living situation. Monica communicated an amicable solution that resulted in a new living arrangement for my mom and she and her husband are getting along better than ever. Monica represented her perfectly. We could not be more pleased with the outcome. We have become friends with the entire staff at the Du Bois Cary group.

Monica was a lifesaver when I most needed a steady voice and knowledgeable guidance through my divorce. From the time my ex-wife and I decided to separate to the final dissolution settlement, Monica always catered her level of help in my case to what I needed, while keeping me informed of legal necessities and options. Occasionally, throughout the divorce process, when I felt like I was at a legal disadvantage relative to my ex, Monica would point out opportunities where I could gain leverage. The truth is, good legal help isn't cheap, but Monica always kept my budget in mind and gave me choices to best use my money. She was well worth it. Not only was Monica a great choice for my legal representation, but everyone in her office, from the paralegals to the partners, were always gracious and helpful.

Monica helped me get custody of my son when his mother relocated accross the country. Many people told me I didn't have a chance to get custody as a single father in the state of Washington but Monica helped prove them wrong. I am grateful all that Monica and the staff at Dubois has done for my family.

Monica is a masterclass. From the very outset of my divorce process, which came as a complete shock at a very vulnerable time in my life, she provided counsel that was appropriate, sensitive, and most importantly, completely on point. As an immigrant to this country, when faced with a surprise divorce under circumstances lacking any semblance of respect, dignity, or regard for my personal situation, Monica was calm, clear-eyed and focused from day one on what was possible, what was likely and what was advisable. She was prepared to go to trial if I felt it was a path I needed to pursue, but collaborated with me to determine the most cost-effective options to negotiate what was most important to me - the opportunity to move forward with my life with my kids with stability and some semblance of certainty. In my case, we were able to reach a settlement out of court, which was ultimately what I wanted. I give all credit to Monica for making that happen. Monica was always ten steps ahead of opposing counsel, and demonstrated skill and professionalism consistent with the very best of her profession. While accessible and extremely responsive herself, she has also built a team at her law group befitting of her expertise and excellence, and I had full confidence in everyone at her office. While I wouldn’t wish the circumstances I had to navigate on anyone, I would recommend Monica in a heartbeat to anyone facing a divorce. I view the money spent on her services to be one of the best investments I’ve made and have emerged from the process a happier and more confident version of myself.

I am writing this review on Monia Cary as she helped me with a heavily disputed case for a relocation to another city and relocation to a different school with my children. I was the primary custodial parent and wanted to only move less than 10 miles away to purchase a "forever home." However, my children's father fought me tooth and nail on this relocation. I hired Monica and she was the 3rd attorney I hired. What I really loved about Monica was her quick communication and correspondence with me at all times. If I could not reach Monica, she always had someone to fill in for her. Her paralegal or another attorney in her office would always take great notes and contact Monica when she was available and Monica would get back to me. Monica also understands the court system very well and she knew how to describe all potential pro's and con's to my case. She was very accurate and I appreciated her brutal honestly in my case. She carefully weighed options for me so that I could make the best educated and most informed decisions. I also like the fact that Monica would have meetings with our attorney's in the Dubois and Cary law group and they discussed complicated cases like mine. I felt like I had a wide variety and wealth of information in which they all got together and provided their advise and comments. I had Monica's direct phone number. I never took advantage of calling her, but I knew she would always answer or concur with me in an emergency situation in which I needed immediate and direct advice. Monica worked relentlessly both day and night, I must also say that one thing I thought was one of Monica's best assets is that she never missed a date or a timeline on anything. She provided me with ample time to gather information and documentation. Other attorney's in the past would have me writing important things for my case last minute or struggling to find documentation last minute. She never had me try and struggle at the last minute with an unexpected time frame. In fact, most all of the time my items were submitted early and this did not cause me last minute additional stress. Family law cases are so stressful, so any attorney that can help you by providing ample time to figure things out is always appreciated. Monica also clearly has a good and solid rapport with arbitrators, mediators, judges, and other attorney's. You could tell you was highly respectable to others in her profession. On a last note, my father did not approve of any of my past attorney's, but he really liked Monica. My father said he can read someone in 5 minutes and he liked Monica from the beginning. I am so blessed that I was able to hire Monica. She is not cheap at all, but you also get what you pay for. I won my case and am happily living in my life long home with my children and they love their new home and school! I cannot thank Monica and her Law firm enough!

Monica Cary and her team represented me through an extremely contentious year long divorce. Her knowledge of the law, ability to deal with difficult situations/people, and network of professionals allowed me to propel through the process smoothly. Her skills were complimented by the amazing compassion she has for her clients. During the difficult and emotional rollercoaster of a divorce, Monica was able to provide me with a sense of comfort and security as I entered into a new phase of life. She met every challenge head on while being considerate of my work hours/family commitments and ability to meet and strategize. Monica was surrounded by a talented staff and partner/attorneys who also embraced me during this process. She became and remains a true confident. I am forever grateful and highly recommend Monica Cary and The DuBois Cary Law Firm.

Monica worked with my elderly father and helped him through a difficult and unwanted divorce. She was very compassionate and sensitive to his situation and absolutely understood all the variables and players involved. She recommended the best course of action while continally engaging Dad to be sure he understood and was in agreement with the plan. She was respectful of budget concerns at all times. She is so warm, caring, personable, unassuming and SMART. I can't recommend her highly enough! I am so grateful to her for all she did for my father.

I am a divorced mom with two young boys. I recently decided I had delayed putting my affairs in order for far too long. Lawyer Monica Cary came highly recommended by a close friend, so I made an appointment to meet with her in person. Monica and her staff were warm and professional and made me feel comfortable and informed. They answered all my questions to my satisfacton and put together a very thorough packet of documents that will encompass all of my future needs in regard to my estate planning. I now have great peace of mind knowing this is all complete and my and my sons futures are secure.

We arrived at the Du Bois Cary lawgroup in September of 2011. We met with Monica Cary and she was such a great listener. She spent a long time hearing the paticulars of the physical difficulties my mom was experiencing since being married at 80 years old. She is now 86. We had seen one other attorney but Monica reviewed the information and gave us a plan to get mom into a safer living situation. Monica communicated an amicable solution that resulted in a new living arrangement for my mom and she and her husband are getting along better than ever. Monica represented her perfectly. We could not be more pleased with the outcome. We have become friends with the entire staff at the Du Bois Cary group.

Monica was a lifesaver when I most needed a steady voice and knowledgeable guidance through my divorce. From the time my ex-wife and I decided to separate to the final dissolution settlement, Monica always catered her level of help in my case to what I needed, while keeping me informed of legal necessities and options. Occasionally, throughout the divorce process, when I felt like I was at a legal disadvantage relative to my ex, Monica would point out opportunities where I could gain leverage. The truth is, good legal help isn't cheap, but Monica always kept my budget in mind and gave me choices to best use my money. She was well worth it. Not only was Monica a great choice for my legal representation, but everyone in her office, from the paralegals to the partners, were always gracious and helpful.

Monica helped me get custody of my son when his mother relocated accross the country. Many people told me I didn't have a chance to get custody as a single father in the state of Washington but Monica helped prove them wrong. I am grateful all that Monica and the staff at Dubois has done for my family.

Monica is a masterclass. From the very outset of my divorce process, which came as a complete shock at a very vulnerable time in my life, she provided counsel that was appropriate, sensitive, and most importantly, completely on point. As an immigrant to this country, when faced with a surprise divorce under circumstances lacking any semblance of respect, dignity, or regard for my personal situation, Monica was calm, clear-eyed and focused from day one on what was possible, what was likely and what was advisable. She was prepared to go to trial if I felt it was a path I needed to pursue, but collaborated with me to determine the most cost-effective options to negotiate what was most important to me - the opportunity to move forward with my life with my kids with stability and some semblance of certainty. In my case, we were able to reach a settlement out of court, which was ultimately what I wanted. I give all credit to Monica for making that happen. Monica was always ten steps ahead of opposing counsel, and demonstrated skill and professionalism consistent with the very best of her profession. While accessible and extremely responsive herself, she has also built a team at her law group befitting of her expertise and excellence, and I had full confidence in everyone at her office. While I wouldn’t wish the circumstances I had to navigate on anyone, I would recommend Monica in a heartbeat to anyone facing a divorce. I view the money spent on her services to be one of the best investments I’ve made and have emerged from the process a happier and more confident version of myself.

I am writing this review on Monia Cary as she helped me with a heavily disputed case for a relocation to another city and relocation to a different school with my children. I was the primary custodial parent and wanted to only move less than 10 miles away to purchase a "forever home." However, my children's father fought me tooth and nail on this relocation. I hired Monica and she was the 3rd attorney I hired. What I really loved about Monica was her quick communication and correspondence with me at all times. If I could not reach Monica, she always had someone to fill in for her. Her paralegal or another attorney in her office would always take great notes and contact Monica when she was available and Monica would get back to me. Monica also understands the court system very well and she knew how to describe all potential pro's and con's to my case. She was very accurate and I appreciated her brutal honestly in my case. She carefully weighed options for me so that I could make the best educated and most informed decisions. I also like the fact that Monica would have meetings with our attorney's in the Dubois and Cary law group and they discussed complicated cases like mine. I felt like I had a wide variety and wealth of information in which they all got together and provided their advise and comments. I had Monica's direct phone number. I never took advantage of calling her, but I knew she would always answer or concur with me in an emergency situation in which I needed immediate and direct advice. Monica worked relentlessly both day and night, I must also say that one thing I thought was one of Monica's best assets is that she never missed a date or a timeline on anything. She provided me with ample time to gather information and documentation. Other attorney's in the past would have me writing important things for my case last minute or struggling to find documentation last minute. She never had me try and struggle at the last minute with an unexpected time frame. In fact, most all of the time my items were submitted early and this did not cause me last minute additional stress. Family law cases are so stressful, so any attorney that can help you by providing ample time to figure things out is always appreciated. Monica also clearly has a good and solid rapport with arbitrators, mediators, judges, and other attorney's. You could tell you was highly respectable to others in her profession. On a last note, my father did not approve of any of my past attorney's, but he really liked Monica. My father said he can read someone in 5 minutes and he liked Monica from the beginning. I am so blessed that I was able to hire Monica. She is not cheap at all, but you also get what you pay for. I won my case and am happily living in my life long home with my children and they love their new home and school! I cannot thank Monica and her Law firm enough!

Monica Cary and her team represented me through an extremely contentious year long divorce. Her knowledge of the law, ability to deal with difficult situations/people, and network of professionals allowed me to propel through the process smoothly. Her skills were complimented by the amazing compassion she has for her clients. During the difficult and emotional rollercoaster of a divorce, Monica was able to provide me with a sense of comfort and security as I entered into a new phase of life. She met every challenge head on while being considerate of my work hours/family commitments and ability to meet and strategize. Monica was surrounded by a talented staff and partner/attorneys who also embraced me during this process. She became and remains a true confident. I am forever grateful and highly recommend Monica Cary and The DuBois Cary Law Firm.

I am forever grateful and highly recommend Monica Cary and The DuBois Cary Law Firm.

Monica worked with my elderly father and helped him through a difficult and unwanted divorce. She was very compassionate and sensitive to his situation and absolutely understood all the variables and players involved. She recommended the best course of action while continally engaging Dad to be sure he understood and was in agreement with the plan. She was respectful of budget concerns at all times. She is so warm, caring, personable, unassuming and SMART. I can't recommend her highly enough! I am so grateful to her for all she did for my father.

I am a divorced mom with two young boys. I recently decided I had delayed putting my affairs in order for far too long. Lawyer Monica Cary came highly recommended by a close friend, so I made an appointment to meet with her in person. Monica and her staff were warm and professional and made me feel comfortable and informed. They answered all my questions to my satisfacton and put together a very thorough packet of documents that will encompass all of my future needs in regard to my estate planning. I now have great peace of mind knowing this is all complete and my and my sons futures are secure.

We arrived at the Du Bois Cary lawgroup in September of 2011. We met with Monica Cary and she was such a great listener. She spent a long time hearing the paticulars of the physical difficulties my mom was experiencing since being married at 80 years old. She is now 86. We had seen one other attorney but Monica reviewed the information and gave us a plan to get mom into a safer living situation. Monica communicated an amicable solution that resulted in a new living arrangement for my mom and she and her husband are getting along better than ever. Monica represented her perfectly. We could not be more pleased with the outcome. We have become friends with the entire staff at the Du Bois Cary group.

Monica was a lifesaver when I most needed a steady voice and knowledgeable guidance through my divorce. From the time my ex-wife and I decided to separate to the final dissolution settlement, Monica always catered her level of help in my case to what I needed, while keeping me informed of legal necessities and options. Occasionally, throughout the divorce process, when I felt like I was at a legal disadvantage relative to my ex, Monica would point out opportunities where I could gain leverage. The truth is, good legal help isn't cheap, but Monica always kept my budget in mind and gave me choices to best use my money. She was well worth it. Not only was Monica a great choice for my legal representation, but everyone in her office, from the paralegals to the partners, were always gracious and helpful.

Monica helped me get custody of my son when his mother relocated accross the country. Many people told me I didn't have a chance to get custody as a single father in the state of Washington but Monica helped prove them wrong. I am grateful all that Monica and the staff at Dubois has done for my family.

Monica is a masterclass. From the very outset of my divorce process, which came as a complete shock at a very vulnerable time in my life, she provided counsel that was appropriate, sensitive, and most importantly, completely on point. As an immigrant to this country, when faced with a surprise divorce under circumstances lacking any semblance of respect, dignity, or regard for my personal situation, Monica was calm, clear-eyed and focused from day one on what was possible, what was likely and what was advisable. She was prepared to go to trial if I felt it was a path I needed to pursue, but collaborated with me to determine the most cost-effective options to negotiate what was most important to me - the opportunity to move forward with my life with my kids with stability and some semblance of certainty. In my case, we were able to reach a settlement out of court, which was ultimately what I wanted. I give all credit to Monica for making that happen. Monica was always ten steps ahead of opposing counsel, and demonstrated skill and professionalism consistent with the very best of her profession. While accessible and extremely responsive herself, she has also built a team at her law group befitting of her expertise and excellence, and I had full confidence in everyone at her office. While I wouldn’t wish the circumstances I had to navigate on anyone, I would recommend Monica in a heartbeat to anyone facing a divorce. I view the money spent on her services to be one of the best investments I’ve made and have emerged from the process a happier and more confident version of myself.

I am writing this review on Monia Cary as she helped me with a heavily disputed case for a relocation to another city and relocation to a different school with my children. I was the primary custodial parent and wanted to only move less than 10 miles away to purchase a "forever home." However, my children's father fought me tooth and nail on this relocation. I hired Monica and she was the 3rd attorney I hired. What I really loved about Monica was her quick communication and correspondence with me at all times. If I could not reach Monica, she always had someone to fill in for her. Her paralegal or another attorney in her office would always take great notes and contact Monica when she was available and Monica would get back to me. Monica also understands the court system very well and she knew how to describe all potential pro's and con's to my case. She was very accurate and I appreciated her brutal honestly in my case. She carefully weighed options for me so that I could make the best educated and most informed decisions. I also like the fact that Monica would have meetings with our attorney's in the Dubois and Cary law group and they discussed complicated cases like mine. I felt like I had a wide variety and wealth of information in which they all got together and provided their advise and comments. I had Monica's direct phone number. I never took advantage of calling her, but I knew she would always answer or concur with me in an emergency situation in which I needed immediate and direct advice. Monica worked relentlessly both day and night, I must also say that one thing I thought was one of Monica's best assets is that she never missed a date or a timeline on anything. She provided me with ample time to gather information and documentation. Other attorney's in the past would have me writing important things for my case last minute or struggling to find documentation last minute. She never had me try and struggle at the last minute with an unexpected time frame. In fact, most all of the time my items were submitted early and this did not cause me last minute additional stress. Family law cases are so stressful, so any attorney that can help you by providing ample time to figure things out is always appreciated. Monica also clearly has a good and solid rapport with arbitrators, mediators, judges, and other attorney's. You could tell you was highly respectable to others in her profession. On a last note, my father did not approve of any of my past attorney's, but he really liked Monica. My father said he can read someone in 5 minutes and he liked Monica from the beginning. I am so blessed that I was able to hire Monica. She is not cheap at all, but you also get what you pay for. I won my case and am happily living in my life long home with my children and they love their new home and school! I cannot thank Monica and her Law firm enough!

During the difficult and emotional rollercoaster of a divorce, Monica was able to provide me with a sense of comfort and security as I entered into a new phase of life. She met every challenge head on while being considerate of my work hours/family commitments and ability to meet and strategize. Monica was surrounded by a talented staff and partner/attorneys who also embraced me during this process. She became and remains a true confident. I am forever grateful and highly recommend Monica Cary and The DuBois Cary Law Firm.

Monica worked with my elderly father and helped him through a difficult and unwanted divorce. She was very compassionate and sensitive to his situation and absolutely understood all the variables and players involved. She recommended the best course of action while continally engaging Dad to be sure he understood and was in agreement with the plan. She was respectful of budget concerns at all times. She is so warm, caring, personable, unassuming and SMART. I can't recommend her highly enough! I am so grateful to her for all she did for my father.

I am a divorced mom with two young boys. I recently decided I had delayed putting my affairs in order for far too long. Lawyer Monica Cary came highly recommended by a close friend, so I made an appointment to meet with her in person. Monica and her staff were warm and professional and made me feel comfortable and informed. They answered all my questions to my satisfacton and put together a very thorough packet of documents that will encompass all of my future needs in regard to my estate planning. I now have great peace of mind knowing this is all complete and my and my sons futures are secure.

We arrived at the Du Bois Cary lawgroup in September of 2011. We met with Monica Cary and she was such a great listener. She spent a long time hearing the paticulars of the physical difficulties my mom was experiencing since being married at 80 years old. She is now 86. We had seen one other attorney but Monica reviewed the information and gave us a plan to get mom into a safer living situation. Monica communicated an amicable solution that resulted in a new living arrangement for my mom and she and her husband are getting along better than ever. Monica represented her perfectly. We could not be more pleased with the outcome. We have become friends with the entire staff at the Du Bois Cary group.

Monica was a lifesaver when I most needed a steady voice and knowledgeable guidance through my divorce. From the time my ex-wife and I decided to separate to the final dissolution settlement, Monica always catered her level of help in my case to what I needed, while keeping me informed of legal necessities and options. Occasionally, throughout the divorce process, when I felt like I was at a legal disadvantage relative to my ex, Monica would point out opportunities where I could gain leverage. The truth is, good legal help isn't cheap, but Monica always kept my budget in mind and gave me choices to best use my money. She was well worth it. Not only was Monica a great choice for my legal representation, but everyone in her office, from the paralegals to the partners, were always gracious and helpful.

Monica helped me get custody of my son when his mother relocated accross the country. Many people told me I didn't have a chance to get custody as a single father in the state of Washington but Monica helped prove them wrong. I am grateful all that Monica and the staff at Dubois has done for my family.
