more about me
I have been an attorney for nearly 25 years, and I devote my practice to representing survivors of sexual abuse, assault, and harassment in civil litigation. My work is rooted in trauma-informed advocacy. I strive to guide my clients through the legal system with compassion, clarity, and an unwavering commitment to justice.
I know the legal world can feel intimidating. But here, you’re not just a case. You’re a person. You deserve to feel safe, believed, and supported every step of the way.
"When I decided to pursue legal action almost five years ago, I was warned by a friend that it would likely be painful and retraumatizing. They were not wrong; over the course of almost five years of legal proceedings the harm that had been done to me was dredged up and reevaluated time and again. What my friend did not anticipate was that these proceedings would also be profoundly healing, thanks in large part to my lawyer. Monica has been unswervingly at my side when it felt like so many others were not. When those who were meant to advocate for me failed, Monica stepped into the gap. When my case became complex and cumbersome, Monica remained focused and engaged. There are few people I have encountered in my life as tenacious as Monica, and I felt so assured through every step of the process knowing that she was on my side fighting for the best possible outcome driven by her keen sense of justice and staunch work ethic. I never once questioned that Monica had my best interest in mind.
Since the positive resolution of my suit, Monica has stayed in touch and I have come to value her not only as a lawyer but as a friend. I have the deepest regard for her, both professionally and personally, and I have a more acute sense of hope for the world knowing that there are attorneys like Monica representing those who are most vulnerable."

“When I reached out for help, you stepped up and believed in my daughter (and me). Thank you for your support these last 4 years. I can never sufficiently explain how much you have meant to us. Your strength, kindness, and drive helped us to keep going when it was difficult. Thank you for being supportive, understanding, human, and available. Thank you for helping [my daughter] stand up for herself. Thank you for seeing in [my daughter] what was taken from her, and for fighting to get some of it back. Thank you for helping to make her bright again.”

“From the moment Monica agreed to represent our daughter we felt at ease and confident our daughter’s best interests would be a priority. The suit would take almost 5 years to be resolved and it has been over 2 years since it concluded in our favor. During those years we have come to feel like Monica is a member of our family, she calls periodically to check on my daughter and to see how all of the family is doing, that is something I think is very special in an attorney. There were many twists and turns along the way but Monica always was focused and attentive to our every concern. She has a way of being personal and getting emotionally connected yet professional and objective so she can give you the hard answers and advice that you need to hear when involved in the highly specialized cases she handles.
We are forever grateful for the professional service and advice of Monica Beck and hold her character and work ethic in the highest regard.”
