Serving Monmouth County, Tinton Falls, Middletown, Red Bank and beyond Prenuptial Agreement Lawyer Red Bank

They were both AMAZING Jan 29, 2026

I had the pleasure of working with both Steve and Matthew for the last year, and they both were AMAZING. I honestly can’t thank them enough. My ex-husband dragged this out for a year and tried everything to turn the court order on me. Already divorced for 23 years, this was a child support issue, and I truly thank both my lawyers for their knowledge of the law and their support and patience. My advice: keep all your records; you never know how far back you will need to go to need them.

He is a real life Perry Mason. Aug 5, 2025

I highly recommend Steven and his team for high conflict, complicated, domestic violence representation. As the Plaintiff, from the onset, I felt confident in Steven’s knowledge and ability to handle my case. Specifically, Steven’s expertise in case law was invaluable, and his case example was the final statement that reverberated across the courtroom. Impeccable. He is a real life Perry Mason. He is the winning attorney on Law and Order. He is also very human and a family man. Steven and his team consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to my case. Steven easily navigated my extremely complex case while simultaneously keeping the communication between the judge, the defendants’ attorney, and everyone in between flowing via the appropriate channels. He did this with ease and professionalism. His capabilities in the courtroom are peppered with over 30 years of practicing law, some of which were spent as a judge, and it is what sets him apart. He can be a bit tough around the edges at times, but it is because of his passion for the case at hand and his ability to see something his client may not. Just hang on and rest assured that you will be represented to the highest level and have a bulldog in your corner that can easily stand up to the most contentious and complex of cases with professionalism, restraint, and class.

Steve fights for his clients Jul 29, 2025

Steve and his team are fantastic people. Steve is not afraid to put up a fight for his clients and it truly shows in his work product. Jennifer and Kristin are genuinely the most down-to-earth and easy-to-talk-to people. They are open, honest, and trustworthy individuals. I love them all, and Steve goes out of his way for his clients. They are very knowledgeable in what they do and won’t steer you the wrong way. Did I mention Gina? She demonstrates impeccable workmanship and handles all matters carefully and professionally. Plus her single adult daughter is so cute AND smart!

Steve was different from the start. Feb 28, 2025

“All lawyers are sharks with no heart that will bleed you dry.” This is what I thought, especially after the first lawyer I worked with in my divorce process told me he’d treat me like family and then gave me terrible advice that would have given everything undeservedly to my ex, and left me in financial ruin. Prompted by my family, I decided to get a second opinion. I consulted with several attorneys but it was a call to Steve Monaghan that would change everything. Steve was different right from the start. Where other lawyers I had spoken with gave me a free consultation over the phone for a matter of 10-15 minutes, Steve invited me into his office and gave me an education. His integrity as a human being won me over and most certainly changed my view of lawyers. I am truly grateful to Steve for helping guide me through one of the most difficult experiences of my life. As a result, I highly recommend Steven P. Monaghan to anyone in need of an exemplary family law attorney.

Exceptional Attorney and Advocate Feb 11, 2025

Working with Steven P. Monaghan and his team was an absolute privilege. From the moment I walked through their doors, I knew I was in the hands of true professionals who genuinely cared about my case and my well-being. Steve is not just an exceptional attorney—he’s a dedicated advocate who brings wisdom, integrity, and an incredible depth of knowledge to everything he does. His ability to break down complex legal matters and present them with clarity gave me confidence every step of the way. More than that, he took the time to listen, understand my concerns, and craft a strategy tailored to my specific needs. His team is just as outstanding. Every interaction I had—whether with his paralegals, assistants, or other members of his firm—was met with kindness, professionalism, and a level of responsiveness that made me feel truly supported. They worked seamlessly together, ensuring every detail was handled efficiently and thoroughly. Steve Monaghan and his team don’t just provide legal services—they provide peace of mind. Their dedication, expertise, and genuine compassion set them apart, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. I honestly can’t thank you enough for! Pernille Hjelmeland

The new sheriff in town Apr 2, 2024

Steve Monaghan is absolutely who you want to represent you. Unfortunately, divorce can be a nasty business. Emotional, damaging to the family, and expensive. But if you find the right person, like I did to guide you through the process, you can end the process fairly and without regrets. I cannot say enough about Steve and his team. I found Steve late in my divorce. I was being represented by someone for three years in a very complex and nasty divorce that was not going to end fairly for me. I needed a change, I needed someone who was going to advocate for me and be tough about it. Steve came in, and he was absolutely the new sheriff in town. He took control over the situation to ensure that I got a fair resolution. He was always thinking about my well-being, what could be done and what cannot be done, he is very succinct and accurate in his communication. He takes care of his clients, rather than taking advantage of them like the adversary attorney did to her client. Steve is no nonsense. He will get the job done fairly and he will protect you all the way through the process. I thank God that I found him when I needed him. And now I can go through life without regrets because Steve ensured I was protected and treated fairly. This is for the business Steven P. Monaghan.

Exceptional Support Team May 24, 2022

Words cannot fully express the gratitude I feel towards Steve and his exceptional support team of attorneys and staff. The phrase '... it takes a village.' has always been in my vocabulary and was exemplified in my divorce case. Steve made himself available for every question I had with expert legal advice in a timely manner. Covid protocols put a spin on the process yet Steve and his amazing staff never missed a beat! I knew from the moment I walked through the door that this was the family law practice to best represent me! I will recommend Steve and The Law Offices of Steven P. Monaghan to everyone that wants to be represented by exceptional attorneys.
