Monica Lee Scherer

There aren’t words to explain my gratitude for Monica. I came to Monica at the most vulnerable and terrifying time in my life when my infant became the center of a sudden, high conflict and contentious custody situation. Her knowledge, experience and expertise in family law is apparent from the beginning. Monica posses a great deal of honesty, integrity and ethical practices. Monica is 100% honest in communication, she is upfront about the reality of the situation whether it is good, bad or ugly. Monica’s quick response time and availability to her clients is second to none. I have been with Monica for three years and will remain with her for the next fifteen years.

Throughout a complex and difficult family law matter, Monica was great to work with and was effective in achieving my goal. She was patient and insightful, applied sound strategies and was extremely valuable to have with me through this journey.

I have repeatedly recommended Monica and would do it again in a heartbeat. Divorces are emotional and complex. It helps to have a lawyer who tells you the truth, not what you want to hear. She is an expert; you must trust her to guide you through the process. Monica has your best interests at heart and will explain the process every step of the way. I could not imagine a better lawyer or firm to work with. She is an excellent communicator, which is critical to getting through the process. Trust her; she is the expert, and you will not be disappointed.

Monica and her team absolutely nailed it with my divorce case. They were very responsive, explained the process, and helped me make several tough choices. Gathering documents is the worst part and they even made that process easy on me. I would highly recommend Monica!

When I started the journey of divorce after escaping an abusive marriage I had an attorney that didn't understand me and support me the way I needed. About a year into my divorce I was talking to a friend about how I wanted to find a strong, solid attorney to be able to fight for my sons and I that would have our best interest at heart, as well as, someone who understood our trauma and what we had been through since my old attorney didn't seem to and triggered me a lot. My friend high recommended Monica and her firm and spoke very highly of her. This was reassuring to have such a strong referral after struggling with my past attorney so much. The first phone call I had with Monica I knew she was the one to help my sons and I through this complex divorce. She was so knowledgeable, truthful, and had such compassion that I immediately hired her and it was all uphill from there. It was a pleasure working with Monica and I am so relieved it all worked out with her strong council!

Monica Scherer is an attorney beyond expectations once could ever imagine. We focused on finding an attorney who had the seasoned experience of seeing the problem through various lens beyond just your own view but a true champion, who was highly respected by those who were opposing attorneys, collaborative attorneys, judges, and all. As a person she is a kind, caring, funny, empathetic, delicate, honest, professional, extremely responsive and knows what to do and more importantly when to do it. She is tactical and she understands factors beyond just the case itself of how those factors could play into the case. You will find yourself missing what you found as a friend when the case is over as she really does become part of your family going through a nasty and often heartbreaking case.

Monica has assisted me with professional & sound legal advice for the past several years. Monica is a very effective communicator who balances candor & sensitivity. She works hard to resolve conflict in a very savvy and diplomatic manner. She offers constructive criticism and exhibits tolerance while being fair minded, even-handed and flexible. I have witnessed her establish and maintain cooperative working relationships with opposing council while maintaining a standard of performance that does not compromise values. She takes an objective point of view of the circumstances and comes up with options for every situation. Monica has an excellent reputation in the legal community and has been recognized as a top performer. Monica is a highly focused individual who strives to get results. She is conscientious and extremely thorough in court and very comfortable during litigation. If you want someone to represent you who is on top of their game, then you need Monica on your team!

Experienced, compassionate, knowledgeable all around true professional. Monica is extremely knowledgeable in her field. Monica's calm compassionate no nonsense approach made an unfortunate custody case as stress free as possible. Monica possesses a calm and controlled personality and only escalated matters if needed which paired well with my case. Monica is very thorough and articulated well prepared arguments keeping my children's best interest at the forefront of the case. She was fully vested in the best possible outcome. I highly recommend her for all your family law needs.

I contacted Silverman & Thompson through their website email one late evening in August 2019 and to my surprise Steven Silverman replied a few hours later asking for further details about our complex case. After trading emails back and forth he connected me with Monica Scherer. I needed to retain counsel quickly so I asked Monica if she was able to talk the following day and sure enough she called me the next morning (while on vacation I may add!). We spent approx 1hr talking and I was immediately impressed with her level of knowledge in family law. I can't say enough about how great Monica was to work with. She is a true professional who represented us at very high level. The outcome of our case was extremely favourable for us and we are now able to move forward with our lives thanks to Monica.  She was prompt, thorough and extremely organized, not to mention caring and compassionate. I would highly recommend her for any family law matter. She is a big league lawyer.

Monica's attention to detail is impeccable and her diplomatic/negotiation skills are extraordinary. Monica is simultaneously tough and compassionate and always aims to find the best solution to a conflict that results in an outcome that best benefits the children. She puts a great deal of preparation before going to court. I was extremely grateful for Monica's patience, skill, and expertise in navigating a very difficult and contentious child custody case toward a favorable outcome for me.
