Joanne P. Monagan

Joanne Monagan is easily one of the most respected matrimonial attorneys you’ll find in the Capital Region. With over 30 years of experience, she has helped countless adults and children navigate the complexities of family law and divorce. What really sets Joanne apart is the decade she spent as a Principal Court Attorney in the Family and Supreme Court systems across counties like Saratoga, Albany, and Rensselaer. This "insider" experience gave her a rare view from behind the bench, meaning she knows exactly how judges think, how the local court personnel operate, and which strategies actually work in a courtroom setting. At O'Brien Monagan Law Firm P.C., she uses this deep procedural knowledge to give her clients a distinct advantage. Joanne isn’t just a lawyer, she’s a seasoned advocate who understands the system from every possible angle. She is completely dedicated to protecting her clients' rights and making sure their interests are the top priority. When you work with Joanne, you’re getting three decades of skill combined with a level of insight that very few attorneys can offer.
