Monica served as my consulting attorney during a divorce through mediation. She is knowledgeable, experienced, and responsive. She proposed creative solutions to a variety of issues that were encountered regarding custody and relocation. She helped me distill down and identify issues that were most important to me then worked hard to obtain favorable results in the agreement. In the early stages of the separation, Monica provided steady and measured advice on how to proceed. She was efficient with her time and was conscious of financial constraints. The divorce process ebbed and flowed for many months, but whenever I needed her services she always picked up right where we had left off.

Monica Kaiser capably handled a separation and divorce for me. She was thorough, knowledgeable and understanding. I felt supported, and knew that she was looking at every possible angle when offering legal guidance. I would highly recommend her.

Ms. Kaiser was referred to me by a colleague, and I was impressed with her work and support throughout the entire process. I highly recommend that anyone considering the mediation process utilize her services. She made what was a difficult and emotional process as easy, painless yet thorough as possible, covering all bases. She is also a pleasure to work with and has a lovely sense of how to diffuse a tense situation and see things fairly from all perspectives. I feel lucky to have found her for this process.

Monica was invaluable in helping us (myself and my ex-wife) through the mediation process. She was knowledgeable, professional, completely fair, available, and attentive to our needs. At times this was not an easy task; however, she managed it with aplomb. I do not hesitate to give my full recommendation for her. Blessedly, our divorce process was completed and all parties were satisfied. I do not hope to ever need such services again but I would know where to go if I did. Monica continues, even today (more than a year post completing our settlement), to be accessible and a resource for any questions or recommendations I contact her with. She is a genuine person, a wonderful lawyer, and an absolute professional.

Monica Kaiser was recommended by a mediator during my divorce. It was a very difficult time for me - scary, confusing, and painful. Mediation had come to a standstill, and my ex was was being difficult. Monica was there with me all the way through. I found Monica to be reliable, prompt in her respones, knowledgeable, and fair with her fees. She was always kind and professional and exhibited extreme patience while my ex and I struggled through I-can't-count-how-many drafts of our separation agreement. Most importanly, however, I felt that Monica really cared about me as a client and as a person. That's a rare and special quality. I would definitely recommend her.
