About Joanne Monagan

The Law Office of Joanne P. Monagan, is an established Troy family-law firm serving clients throughout the surrounding areas of New York State. Ms. Monagan has more than 20 years of legal experience in family and matrimonial law, including divorce, property division, spousal support, custody, child support and more. Divorce is a very personal and emotional challenge, and the related issues of child custody, property division, and support can be extremely stressful to deal with. If you are faced with these issues, you want to feel comfortable and confident knowing you can easily approach your attorney to talk about all aspects of your case. With support from an experienced lawyer, the legal process doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

I am Joanne Monagan, and I have 23 years of experience in divorce and family law. I offer my clients legal representation that is straightforward and personalized. I pride myself in the thorough approach I take to identifying and explaining the issues raised by my clients’ cases, and I speak in plain, everyday language. You do not have to worry about being overwhelmed with legal information or having questions that go unanswered. I also am a very good listener, and I place great importance in understanding your needs and the unique nuances of your case.

I know how both sides approach a family law case, what Family Court judges are looking for, how decisions are made, and what a person from a neutral perspective (such as a judge) sees in a case. Because of my in-depth knowledge of the law and unique experience, and also because I listen carefully to my clients’ personal wishes, I am able to be creative in developing solutions that fit my clients’ unique needs.
