(Translated by Google) The service and dedication that these people provide as a law firm is incredible, my experience was spectacular and the goal was achieved. always in the best scene, recommendations are plenty for Attorney Steve Monks and his entire work team, they manage Spanish in an incredible way and they have never disregarded. I would definitely work with them again.

Buyer Beware

I received a speeding ticket which was really bad. I was really concerned and my initial conversation put my mind at rest (but I was still worried). The attorney gave me his plan of action and he did as he said. We closed my case this week and although dismissal was out of the question I got a end result better than I thought. Attorney Wells came right in and got me in out of the court in a matter of minutes. I would deal with Monks Law Firm again if I needed good legal support.

Terrible lawyer you barely talk to him getting an actual appointment to speak with him is almost impossible he only directs you to his secretaries and most of the time you don't even know what's going on with your case

I had an last minute case with no notice on child custody. Toni, the assistant, managed to find me an attorney in their firm to take my case. Todd, my attorney, stepped in with 5 minutes conversation with me and won my case. I hughly recommend using them, as not only do they know their way around the courtroom but they are priced reasonably.

I contacted Monks Law Firm because my son got a speeding ticket while visiting NC last year and never paid the fine. We live in Maryland and his license was going to be suspended if he did not clear this up. I spoke to Jeimy Parra who was great. She explained the process and it was so easy. Monks represented my son and his case was closed in about 10 days. The best experience. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!

I contacted Monks Law Firm looking at the excellent reviews on Google. Steve is extremely rude. His firm was supposed to draft an agreement for me and after 1 hour of talking to him and sending him a very detailed follow up email of the terms of agreement, they promised to get it done in 10 days. After 10 days, all i get is a generic document that he could've given it to anyone without any specifics of my terms. When i called to check on it, he was fiery and rude and being extremely passive aggressive trying to be defensive about missing his deadline. More than the agreement not being done, i was upset at how rude and unprofessionally he spoke. I would never ever go to him again and advise others to stay away from him too.

This law firm has been great and helpful in every case we have put in their hands, we contacted them the first time regarding a traffic ticket for myself and not knowing what to expect but Jeimy Parra who works for this law firm was very helpful and turned a nightmare into a happy ending. last week went back with my husband this time for another traffic issue but this time for him and with-in a week things got resolved with the best of results. we couldn't be more grateful and will 100% recommend them. they not only help you with your problem but also make the process as comfortable as possible and keep you updated on their every move. if in the future I get another issue ill for sure will hire them without even considering someone else.

The team helped with getting a traffic citation dismissed in entirety, saving me court visits, any chance of increased premium. Best of all I could handle the entire case without having to leave my work. The staff ( I dealt with Jeimy Parra) is extremely knowledgeable, professional and courteous. She explained initial paperwork in detail, the best and worst outcome scenarios and was very good in setting the right expectations. Really happy with the service, would highly recommend to anybody looking for legal services!

(Translated by Google) We are very happy lawyer Steve Monks apart from being a humble person and a great character as a person that gives his clients a lot of hope that makes them feel so confident and makes us come back with a smile and with a calm knowing that will face the difficulties of our cases and will be successful and will quickly give us good news which we will share with the entire Hispanic Race in North Carolina and so with this I say goodbye my name and client of Attorney Steve Monks is Bryan Antonio Cruz Gómez my case is as a victim of a crime worthy of a U Visa.

Anyone that’s had a custody issue knows it’s a stressful and trying time. I hired Monks law firm to represent me with my sons custody case. The case had many twists and turns but ended positive and I now have a custody order in place that I am happy with. Through the trying times in the case the firm was supportive. I can’t say enough about the firm as a whole and my review wouldn’t be complete without giving special recognition to Toni who is the family law paralegal. She was awesome through the good and bad plus she was there anytime I needed her night and day. Thank you Monks Law Firm for resolving this critical matter for me.

(Translated by Google) Thank God I'm with my husband and Monks Law Firm helped us make that happen! At first we were very angry with the DEAR Foundation, because they collected the money from my husband knowing that he was going to close and they gave our file to the lawyer Steve Monks, but thanks to the effort of the lawyer and his paralegal Brenda, the reality was I come to this legal country! The whole process with immigration in my interview was very easy! We know that we can count on this firm for other legal matters.

Al principio estabamos muy enojados con la Fundacion DEAR, ya que ello le recojieron el dinero a mi esposo sabiendo que iba a cerrar y le dieron nuestro archivo al abogado Steve Monks,pero gracias al esfuerzo de el abogado y su paralegal Brenda se iso realidad el yo venir a esta pais legal! Todo el proceso con imigracion en mi entrevista fue muy facil! Sabemos que podemos contar con esta firma para otros asuntos legales.

No complaints from me. I was happy to be able to utilize email communication and my case went on the docket quickly. Jeimy in particular was very nice to work with.

This is an absolute unprofessional, pathetic clown. My wife and I are adopting an infant family member. He was referred to us through my wife’s employer. We met with him, and although he admitted he didn’t really do adoptions (although he advertises he practices “family law”), he indicated our case was very straightforward and would represent us. A couple weeks later, he sends my wife a message that read verbatim “we’re all good”. He CLAIMS he went to speak with Social Services and had everything lined up. A few weeks later, the baby is born. We sent him an email that evening. The next day we tried to call, and his secretary said he was in court and would fax the documents we needed as soon as he got back. He did not. The next day, same story. So, while he was supposedly in court, I went to his office. He was there, not in court. When I explained that the hospital was waiting for the documents in order to release the child to us, hi exact response was “well you need to schedule an appointment”. I explained we simply needed him to fax, or simply hand me, the documents. He explained that he hadn’t actually begun to work on our case at all. As I composed myself, he then told me it would be best if I just found a different attorney. I pleaded with him and agreed to make an appointment. He then stormed off. His secretary told me there were no appointments available until the following week. I then stated I would pay any amount of money on the spot, amazingly an appointment materialized the next day. No thanks.

During our initial consult, he seemed very uneducated and poor spoken for an attorney. His office was in disrepair, and he was slovenly dressed. My instinct was to run far away, but stupidly I resisted that I instinct, as I was trying hard not to judge based on outward appearances. Folks, trust yourselves.

I strongly encourage people not to avoid Steve Monks, but to seek a consult. After that, trust your gut. If you come away feeling confident in his services, I pray for you. Most likely, after he stammers his way through his spiel after consulting google for legal advice, you’ll realize there has to be better options. Steve was willing to abandon my family in the middle of a complicated time after he professed to help, all because he forgot to do his job, or more likely, realized he couldn’t, because he is clearly dim witted and unprepared for anything other than traffic court. Maybe he’s good at getting speeding tickets reduced, but don’t go to him with major issues. I certainly wouldn’t trust my freedom to him, unless you want to end up consulting a jailhouse lawyer in prison. Although, he’d probably do a better job than Steve.

I can give credit when an effort is given, even if the results are less than expected. However, Steve gave zero effort, and when given the opportunity, chose to run . Until he was offered a blank check, then he could help me.
