Monzón, Guerra & Chipman, Attorneys At Law
Lincoln Federal Criminal Matters Lawyer
Overview
Widely revered as one of the nation’s top criminal attorneys, Carlos A. Monzón has a victory mindset and no-nonsense approach to litigation that puts clients on the quickest and most strategic path to ideal case outcomes. With nearly three decades of experience, he’s not afraid to fight to the full extent of the law – and he won’t quit until the final gavel strikes.
Monzón has an extensive track record of success in sensitive legal areas, such as state and federal criminal matters and appeals and personal injury cases. Unlike some other attorneys, Monzón does not shy away from taking cases to trial.
Bilingual in English and Spanish, Monzón spent several years abroad as an instructor for trial advocacy in Mexico, Peru, Chile, and Puerto Rico. He has taken his extensive knowledge of Sixth Amendment law to litigators in countries with often-corrupt legal processes. He is also heavily involved in several organizations supporting the local and national Latinx community.
Monzón earned a J.D. from the University of Nebraska College of Law in 1994, and has since dedicated his practice to aggressively protecting, preserving, and defending his clients’ constitutional rights.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
