My case hasn't been decided yet, but this firm has been incredibly professional and has gone above and beyond to communicate, which is huge to me. I'm old school and think, as long as the lines of communication are strong, almost anything can be resolved. Unfortunately, I think most people have lost sight of this simple, courtesy. Monks Law Firm has definitely been fantastic in communicating all aspects of my case. It may be a bit "cheesy," but I just wanted to say thank you to your entire office for the way I've been treated.
Do NOT hire Monks Law Firm to probate a will. It's bad enough that the bereaved have to go through all the arduous legal hoops and processes to handle the estate of a recently lost loved one, but dealing with this law firm made it so much worse. Our engagement with Monks Law Firm went awry quickly through poor communication, which consisted of no communication at all sometimes, followed by requests for immediate turnarounds from us; asking for information that we'd already clearly provided they told us that they get hundreds of email a day, so they couldn't be expected to keep up with each one; multiple, unnecessary, confusing email threads that often omitted one of the two of us involved discussing information that had already been provided; and meandering, detailed explanations of obvious matters, such as how to find contact information in an email signature. But my family had already signed on with them, so we thought we should just continue through the process with them while dealing with our grief instead of starting over elsewhere. After a month of no progress, we wrote to Monks Law Firm and told them that we no longer wished to work with their firm, and directed them not to proceed with filing the probate application. The paralegal who was handling our case asked us to change our mind, but we politely and clearly declined. The next day, against our explicit wishes, Monks Law Firm began work on our case and filed the application with the court and had it accepted by the county. Despite their seeming efforts to lock us into their services, we expressed our displeasure and requested a refund and immediate stop. We received only a partial refund, and we were told that additional fees would be required to undo the filing they submitted against our wishes. Our family engaged a new firm to take over our case. After a brief conversation with us and a bit of digging on their end, the new firm informed us that we in fact did not need to go through months of probate that Monks Law Firm had advised; instead, we could file a single, immediate document to resolve our case. Any other law firm could and should have looked into the court’s records to see the legal legwork our deceased family had already done to make our lives easier prior to their passing, like the new firm did. So not only did we receive poor quality work from Monks Law Firm, we received lazy at best, malicious at worst legal advice that would keep us unnecessarily engaged with them for a greater amount of time for a greater amount of money. I’m not typically one to write reviews, but taking advantage of grieving people feels worthy of one, so others don’t have to go through what my family did.
When you need a lawyer, don't know where to start. If your are reading this, this is your sign. Mr. Monk will fight your case, and apply pressure when needed. Our family is thankful for his services, will refer anyone who's looking for a lawyer. Don't pass up a good lawyer, looking into another. Go ahead and give Mr. Monk office a call today.
Why my experience was different compared to others. The lawyer I had was an old lady, she didn’t communicate anything to me, but only let the front desk people talk to me.. : I claimed guilty without fighting since she doesn’t even explain to me
No better traffic attorney anywhere. I've been dealing with Mr Monks for years based on a recommendation from another attorney. I've recommended numerous friends who have so been pleased as punch. I can't give this man any higher praise. Push up Mr Monks!!! Keep up the great works
Monks Law Firm helped me beat my traffic case on September 27th! Highly recommended and will indeed come back to you guys! Thanks so much!
Great customer service. They have always taken very good care of me whenever I have gotten a ticket.
We could not have asked for a better Law Firm to represent us! Very informative and thorough. Mr. Monk helped us to get an appeal dismissed that had no Jurisdiction to have been filed. Open close case due to all the facts he had prepared and submitted before the Judge. He takes his cases serious and goes above and beyond to make sure he represents his clients to the fullest.
Mr. Monk went above and beyond to help me out. I recently lost my mother and was down to a one income household. With money being tight he went above and beyond to help me in every way possible to fight a traffic ticket. Fantastic legal service, Would recommend 10/10
Very professional. Incredible traffic ticket attorney. I felt like I didn’t have to worry with Monks on my side.
