Monks Law Firm, PLLC

Born in Texas, I moved to North Carolina as soon as I could; apologies to my Texas friends and family. I've tried over 500 cases and handled thousands more. I have managed and worked in small and medium sized law firms, some with multiple offices. Now I'm a solo practitioner working out of my backyard “shoffice”. A shoffice is a shed that has been transformed into an office. This affords me the opportunity to assist with the care of my mother-in-law who lives with my wife, Yvonne and I, and who has Alzheimer's. My areas of practice have been diverse including Immigration Law, Criminal Law, Family Law, Traffic Ticket Defense, General Civil Litigation and presently and primarily, Wills, Trusts, and Estates Law. I am a certificated mediator, continuing legal education presenter and I have published legal articles in various mediums. I have been the attorney and member of the board of directors for non-profit organizations, various businesses, have provided countless hours of pro bono services and have worked extensively with the group legal industry having served as a member of the board of directors of the Group Legal Services Association. And, I have been a defensive driving instructor, disc jockey and cheerleader for the infamous Phi Slamma Jamma basketball team; Go Coogs! "I may not have seen it all, but I've seen a lot".
