Client Reviews

She succeeded where others failed.

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 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.

    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.
