About Our Firm

At The Law Office of Monica Hartsock, we believe that justice should be accessible to everyone, not just those with power and resources. Founded by Monica Hartsock, a dedicated advocate for consumer rights, our firm is committed to challenging corporate injustice and ensuring that every voice is heard.

Monica's passion for fairness began early. As a child, she stood up against inequities that may have seemed minor to others but were deeply significant to her. At just 15, she successfully fought to ensure that every child in her sister’s kindergarten class received a cookie at Open House—not just those who pushed to the front of the line. These early experiences shaped her determination and resilience, qualities that now define her legal career.

Before launching her own practice, Monica defended corporations in high-stakes litigation, gaining invaluable insight into the strategies used by powerful companies. Today, she leverages that knowledge to advocate for individuals facing overwhelming legal battles against corporate giants. Her ability to craft compelling narratives in the courtroom ensures that her clients' stories are not only told but truly understood and valued.

Throughout her career, Monica has encountered formidable opposition, from
condescending attorneys to veiled threats of retaliation. Yet, she remains steadfast.
With an exceptional ability to anticipate legal challenges, she navigates procedural complexities with precision, preparing her clients for every possible scenario. Judges and clients alike recognize her keen foresight, with one judge recently commending her "great skill" and "crafty lawyering" in securing an outstanding result. Such praise from the bench is rare and speaks to Monica's exceptional legal acumen.

Beyond the courtroom, Monica is a dedicated mentor and educator. As a member of Law Zebra, a network of legal thought leaders, she travels nationwide to train attorneys in consumer protection law and trial advocacy. She also volunteers at monthly trial skills meetings, guiding fellow attorneys on trial preparation, witness strategy, and courtroom confidence. Her ability to prepare witnesses to testify effectively has made her a sought-after trial consultant and co-counsel in complex cases.

A respected speaker, Monica frequently presents on false advertising law (a subject on which she literally wrote a book), financial elder abuse, and trial skills. She has addressed audiences at legal aid events, press conferences, and consumer advocacy forums, working to educate individuals on their legal rights in an increasingly complicated legal landscape.

Monica's unwavering commitment to justice has led her to stand firm against even the most aggressive legal threats. When opposing counsel recently attempted to intimidate her with a baseless motion for sanctions, she responded simply with, "Thanks!" The motion was never filed, and when the judge later learned of it, he publicly affirmed the legitimacy of Monica's actions, siding with her and her client.

She firmly believes that no corporation should profit at the expense of those with less power, and she fights tirelessly to hold them accountable. While many clients seek quick resolutions, Monica understands that justice is rarely straightforward. She is committed to guiding her clients through every step of the legal process, ensuring they feel informed, empowered, and prepared for the road ahead.

An alumna of the prestigious Trial Lawyer’s College, Monica is trained in the art of trial advocacy and dedicated to representing the injured, the voiceless, and those facing corporate oppression. She is a proud member of both the Washington and California state bar associations.

At The Law Office of Monica Hartsock, we stand beside our clients against corporate giants, fight relentlessly for their rights, and work tirelessly to secure the justice they deserve. If you are facing an unfair legal battle, we are here to fight for you.
