About Attorney

Monika Roth

Monika Roth is a different kind of criminal defense attorney. Monika is fearless and confident in the courtroom, accustomed to hard work, and unafraid of what may seem to be insurmountable odds. She will be a pillar of strength in your time of need.

Areas of Practice

Sex Offenses

The most serious allegation one person can make against another is a claim of sex abuse. Once that allegation is made, the consequences are severe and devastating—just due to the allegation alone. These cases require specific knowledge and skill to arrive at a just result, and Monika has earned exceptional results ranging from not guilty jury verdicts to dismissals or greatly reduced charges, saving clients time in prison and avoiding the sex-offender registry.

Drug Crimes

From Felony Possession of Drugs to Minor Misdemeanor “weed tickets,” Monika handles the full range of drug cases. Whether you found yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time, wrongfully accused, or caught fair and square, Monika looks for every defense possible in every case. Most of the drug cases Monika handles are resolved by reduction in the level of the offense, with probation, shorter sentences, or even outright dismissal.

Assault, Burglary, Robbery and Other Violent Offenses

Prosecutors view these types of cases with only the most serious of consequences in mind, especially if a gun is involved. Gun specifications are tricky to handle, and Monika is well versed both in the law and how to handle such charges in the court system. Many cases come down to one person’s word about what happened or did not happen against yours. Monika looks for every opportunity to defend these cases, including motions to suppress, thorough investigation into the truth, and communication with you, whether you are in custody or out of custody. Monika has earned numerous not guilty verdicts on just these types of cases.

Homicide, Manslaughter, and Death Penalty Cases

Monika is qualified and certified to represent defendants facing the death penalty. Such certification requires hours of continuing legal education and felony jury trial experience. Monika’s training and experience will benefit you, whatever the punishment you might face in the criminal justice system.

Judicial Release

For those who find themselves serving long prison sentences, there is a way to ask the judge to release inmates early—called judicial release. The timing of when to ask a judge for judicial release is determined by statute, and the probability of early release varies by the circumstances of your case and by the judge who will make the decision. Monika will evaluate the proper timing and whether release is likely or not, and is always open to your decision whether or not to ask the judge for judicial release.

Expungement

Criminal convictions can be a huge roadblock for your career, college or university admittance and financing, renting that apartment you have your eye on, and owning a firearm. But, the expungement laws, also known as “sealing” of your record, have changed recently, allowing more and more people to ask judges to expunge convictions. Monika will evaluate your convictions and let you know whether you are eligible to expunge some or all of them.

“There are no words to express our deepest gratitude for ALL you have done in clearing [our loved one's] name. Your performance was flawless, your efforts relentless, and support boundless. We are forever indebted to you for giving us the gift of returning to normal life.”

Former Client

“You were always there in court with me telling me not to give up and keep fighting. Thank you so much for standing behind me and being so supportive. If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have made it through all the things I went through. You were one of the biggest supporters I had. Thank you so very much for helping me get through the tough times.”
