What Our Clients Say About Monica Colvig
"Monica represented me for a good 5-6 years in a long and frustrating family case! […] She knew my case like the back of her hand, and spent countless hours studying and doing extra work to ensure she could fight for what was best for my case.
When it came time to part ways due to distance, she got on a phone call with me and spoke with my new counsel as well to make sure all information was transferred and that it would flow smoothly! I would count any firm to be lucky to have her on their team, and any client blessed to have her in their corner." -Mallorie M.
