If you value your time and your money look elsewhere.

If you're looking for a lawyer who will work hard for your case, Monica McElyea is the one! I've been through a custody battle for the last three years. I've been represented by a few different lawyers in the past for previous modifications, etc, but not a single lawyer I've been represented by or consulted with in the past have the drive Ms. McElyea does. She knows her stuff, and she is so good and passionate about her work. Being represented by Ms. McElyea has been the first time I've ever felt that I truly had someone in my corner fighting to give my child and myself a real voice, as well as have our experiences heard. Ms. McElyea worked so hard on this case, and the out come was better than I could have ever asked for. I can rest ease knowing my child's safety is being upheld, my child has been given a voice in this case! Ms. McElyea is truly the best lawyer I have ever come across, she is nothing short of a blessing in the lives of my child and myself. Our lives are forever changed and our future is looking so much clearer than it ever has. I would HIGHLY recommend Ms. McElyea to anyone who is fighting for their child's safety and best interests! Ms. McElyea is truly the best out there, to have her as your representation is the best choice you could give yourself! Thank you so much Ms.McElyea, my gratitude for you is endless!

I had no prior contact with Monica so I reached out based on a web search of local Summit County attorneys and Monica was very responsive to my request for an interview. 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. I found her rates to be reasonable, her ability to navigate the legal processes was spot on and ultimately she was able to quickly negotiate a lessor, more appropriate charge that was even better than I expected or asked for. Then, since I’m not living in the state of Colorado, she handled closing out all of the terms of the plea agreement on my behalf and returning the unused balance of my retainer. I highly recommend Monica to represent anyone in need of legal services. She will listen and fight on your behalf to do her absolute best to resolve your case as best as possible.

From my first phone call to Monica about my case to the last email it was complete professionalism and understanding. Monica's commitment to her word is very rare these days. She did what she said and said what she did. 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. I would highly recommend her. Its not often you find someone with such ethics.

Monica McElyea is on the side of the prosecution and the Courts! She is just another player in the corrupt summit county courthouse! I warn all who is assigned her as council to not allow the Court to fool you into believing she is their to help you. Pay for council from the Denver Metro area before you do business in Summit County with Monica!

Great people that really cared about our case and that gave us the best outcome possible. Highly recommended!
