Pros
1
Highly responsive and communicative with clients
“I was involved in a single car accident but I felt the citation given by a police witness was way too harsh of a charge given the icy and sloping road conditions. She spent the majority of her billable time discussing the occurrence with me and researching all the A/V evidence and testimony to make sure she fully understood the situation and the reason why I believed the heightened charge against me was motivated by more than just the facts behind the accident.”
2
Effective at negotiating favorable outcomes for clients
“She was able to quickly negotiate a lessor, more appropriate charge that was even better than I expected or asked for.”
3
Demonstrates strong work ethic and commitment to clients
“The nature of my case put a few years in between the issue and outcome and she stayed with it the entire time. She really helped me. No other way to put it.”
4
Compassionate and understanding towards clients
“From my first phone call to Monica about my case to the last email it was complete professionalism and understanding.”
5
Passionate and dedicated to fighting for her clients
“If you're looking for a lawyer who will work hard for your case, Monica McElyea is the one! She knows her stuff, and she is so good and passionate about her work.”
Cons
1
Some clients feel she is biased towards the prosecution
“Monica McElyea is on the side of the prosecution and the Courts! She is just another player in the corrupt summit county courthouse!”
2
A few clients felt their time and money were not well spent
“If you value your time and your money look elsewhere.”
