I made the mistake of hiring J. Monagan for my contested divorce almost 2 years ago. She withheld information from the court and judge that showed my spouse was hiding money and moving it during the two years that she represented me. I was married for over 33 years and received $0 in sposal support.The only thing that this lawyer seemed to be good at was billing me over $50,000 for basically reading my emails.

Ms. Monagan reversed a tragic decision by Albany Family court to rescind a 50-50 custody. She was methodical, smart and took the matter through to a reversal of OCFS finding to then broker an agreement in Family Court to return to 50-50. All in a matter of about 8 months. Meanwhile, two other lawyers from Tully Rinkey had previously dropped the ball. Ms. Monagan is a complete professional.

I turned to attorney Joanne Monagan after months of deliberations in frivolous litigation focused on process issues, not facts, that threatened to consume interminable time and enormous resources. I had been represented by corporate attorneys who were happy to indulge this process with no plan to end it. Joanne quickly seized upon the precise legal issues that led to a swift dismissal by the court. I am therefore delighted to add my name to the long list of clients who publicly praise and thank Joanne Monagan, Esq., for exceptional legal representation. James, Albany, NY

I met with Joanne during my preparation for my divorce. She listened to every worry I had and always made me feel comfortable and at ease. She would communicate with the other counsel in the office and made sure everyone was on the same page. I would not hesitate to contact her again.

Overall, Joanne was very helpful during a difficult time. Joanne handled all the legal proceedings in a professional manner, and she was thorough in detailing out the conditions of the Divorce Agreement.

My situation was complicated. But she handled it well. As is often the case the case took much longer than we would have wanted but along the way she did a great job working things out. And she was willing to allow me to make payments when I couldn’t afford the total bill.

Joanne was there when I needed her, she handled my case professionally and resolved my case quickly.now my life is back to normal, I would highly recommend her.

Joanne was ver professional, and handled my legal needs efficiently. She was available via phone or email when needed and answered in a timely manner. I highly recommend her services.

At a very unfortunate time in my life, It was suggested to me by another highly regarded attorney that i speak with Ms Monagan regarding my pending divorce. Her knowledge in these matter's, and ability to quickly bring closure, and her continued help in traversing family matters has been an incredible relief. She has been an invaluable resource during what could have been a much harder time in my life. I would highly suggest her to anyone seeking legal advice in her areas of practice.

Joanne P.Monagan was professional yet sensitive to the delicate matters of my 10 year relationship with my domestic partner. Unfortunately the relationship became dangerous without actually becoming volatile however I was in fear of everything I loved. Many said this would not be enough grounds for an order of protection however Joanne's professionalism and knowledge of the law secured our Judge's position in granting the peace of instating the order. Joanne's forte is the ability to divide all assets and move on with life based on what was just and fair without the constant worry of emotional warfare.

I had hired Joanne on a family matter and have been very pleased with her work and communication I live in another state and had to travel for this case and with Joanne's efforts really made this easy. Plus she won the case!! I won't go anywhere else if I need a attorney in NY

I worked with Joanne Monagan for over 2 years as my Lawyer. I can only say amazing things about her. She was kind, patient, caring, flexible and went above and beyond her job duties. We had a hard battle to overcome one that many would have never gotten the outcome we did under normal circumstances. I truly believe it was her skills and her passion for justice that got us our end result. If I ever need a lawyer I will only go to her. I also would recommend her to others. As a matter of fact I sent her 2 clients. This is not just a job to Joanne Monagan she gives her all and fights for you. She does not back away from a challenge. She faces it head on and comforts you at the same time giving you assurance and complete understanding of how things could turn out from both ends of the spectrum. She does not give false hope but she does promise to do her best. If I could describe Joanne with one word it would be Victorious!
