Liam has been helping me through a very difficult time. He has been professional, caring, knowledgeable and proficient. I would recommend him and his firm to anyone who is going through a family law dispute

Liam was a very big disappointed. Prior to him switching to family law, he was practicing personal injury; our case. He came to our house and sold us on his taking pride in constantly updating and ability to move quickly in the legal process. None of this was further from the truth. In one year, he took four vacations and never updated us without us harping on him. The paperwork was available to him by us from the various insurance companies and doctors and he still felt the need to drag his feet by requesting his own copies of the exact same material, thus increasing his billing hours and materials which took over six months to obtain. We got the same paperwork in one 5 minute phone call. In the end, he never filed and abruptly told us he was moving into the family law practices. That should immediately be a concern for any client thinking about hiring this lackadaisical attorney. He accomplished nothing any non-law practicing person could have done. Had it not been for him dropping the case at the last minute to inform us that he was moving to family law and us getting a new attorney, we would have missed our filing date. Luckily, we found a competent attorney that was able to handle the filing and able to do so in less than a month. Just in case you think this is a biased review, my father is a real estate attorney and my brother is a taxation attorney, both of whom are ABA members.

Excellent Lawyer. Steve intimately understands the intricacies of NJ family law and has the unique skill set required to mediate complex family and financial issues. He has an exceptional understanding of NJ accounting and tax implications and how to successfully navigate these issues. His associates are equally as impressive. Steve and his staff are courteous, efficient and compassionate. I highly recommend The Law Offices of Steve Monaghan.

I would encourage you to seek out the counsel of Steve Monaghan & Kristin Stoop Pallonetti. They are experts in Family Law. You will be impressed with their preparation & thoroughness in court motions & documents, and their expertise in the courtroom and as mediators. They knew the details of my case better than I did. The whole team is very organized, detailed and incredibly responsive. They have a great support staff of Jennifer, Donna, Lisa & Andrew.

Mr. Monaghan took a difficult situation and made it into a seamless transaction. I was concerned because the law in New Jersey is vague in the area of emancipation. Mr. Monaghan, however, cut to the most critical facts and received a fair and just outcome for me, and actually all involved. The intangible factor, from what I have learned in this experience, is that Mr. Monaghan is highly respected by the courts. His esteemed reputation was a major consideration in selecting him as my lawyer. Mr. Monaghan was available at all times, got right back to me, and was calming and reassuring. Mr. Monaghan and his staff have the perfect balance of compassion, understanding, and professionalism. I cannot recommend the law offices of Steven Monaghan any more favorably. Thank you so much Steve and Staff!!!

My divorce was very complicated and Steve spent a lot of time helping me work through it. Whether it was on the phone or face to face. He is very knowledgeable and practical and always had my best interest at heart. His advice was always on point and I trusted the direction he would take me in. He was proactive in bringing things to my attention that I wasn't always thinking about, which helped me to make better decisions. Steve was really wonderful to work with and his office staff was very nice as well.

Divorce was scary and uncertain for me. My divorce was handled quickly and efficiently. My phone calls were returned. The office staff was professional.

Well, I was in a real jam when Mr. Monaghan came to my rescue. Mr. Monaghan was representing me, as a court appointed attorney & I still felt like I was getting top shelf representation. Mr. Monaghan spent a lot of time with me face to face & via phone conversation to make sure he understood my case. He showed a deep & focused interest in my case & the serious situation/matter I was facing. He was extremely attentive, caring, supportive, took time to listen - Most importantly, he was highly experienced & took the time to explain how things worked & what was most important to focus on. He took additional time to make sure I understood exactly what I was facing/dealing in layman's terms/lingo. Mr. Monaghan made me feel calm & reassured in that I was getting the best representation I could possibly have, regardless of the fact that Mr. Monaghan was representing me Pro-bono because I couldn't afford to pay for representation. I have dealt with many attorney's for many other less important reason in my lifetime, in addition to another experience with a court appointed attorney, that I was very unsatisfied with, but Mr. Monaghan was a huge surprise/relief to me, by far & the best attorney I have ever had in my corner! I don't give out good ratings easily, let alone a five star rating. In Closing, Put your trust/life in Mr. Monaghan's hands & believe me, you will not be sorry-It will be the best decision you ever made...There is a very good reason why Mr. Monaghan is rated a Super-Attorney...Case Closed!
