Monique Gilson-Moreau has been practicing law for over 30 years, primarily in private practice.  Monique has been a litigator, mediator, and guardian ad litem for the courts.

Early in her career Monique gained experience in various areas of law as indicated in her Professional Experience below.. Attorney.   Monique was born in Verviers, Belgium and immigrated to the United States with her parents at a young age.  Monique earned her Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Puget Sound School of Law (now known as Seattle University School of Law) in 1985.  She continued her legal training through McGeorge University School of Law at their Salzburg, Austria Campus, earning a Diploma in Transnational Legal Practice.  She then moved to Paris, France where she completed an internship with an international French law firm.  She was sworn in as an Attorney licensed to practice in Washington State at the U.S. Embassy in Paris.  She remained in Paris for over 2 years where she continued to work for various private French law firms and eventually met and married her husband.  Monique returned to Seattle, WA with her husband in December of 1987.  Monique and her husband, Frederic, are the proud parents of three grown daughters, two of whom work with Monique as her paralegals.  Upon her return to Washington, Monique did contract work for various Seattle law firms until she began her private solo practice, which included immigration and family law.  Because Monique speaks French fluently, she has received referrals for Immigration, Adoption and Family Law cases from the French Consulate in San Francisco as well as the Honorary French Consulate in Seattle.  Monique successfully obtained asylum for a client who fled persecution in Zaire and adjusted the status of several French Nationals enabling them to work or become permanent residents of the United States.   Her empathy and compassion for others led her to volunteer to represent a financially disadvantaged victim of domestic violence through the Family Law Mentor program.  This and similar experiences eventually led her to focus her practice on domestic law, child support, custody, including interstate UCCJEA cases, adoptions, Guardian ad litem and mediation.  She particularly enjoys using her family law experience to help parties resolve their disputes.  Finally, she has supported our U.S. military by volunteering her time to provide Washington Family Law training to the JAGs at the Whidbey Island Naval Base..

I have been practicing family law in Brevard County for 15 years.  I provide services in all areas of family law, including divorce, custody, child support, paternity, domestic violence, injunctions, alimony, step-parent and grandparent adoptions, and family law appeals.  I am a Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Law Mediator, and I am trained in the Collaborative Process.  I am the owner of my firm, The Loris Law Group, located in Viera, Florida near the Viera Courthouse.  Please visit my website at to learn more about me.

I was born in Chicago Illinois, and had a great childhood in Chicago in a large family.  When I graduated high school I worked three years in a steel mill while attending college part-time.  I eventually joined the military to finish my schooling on the GI bill.  In the Army, I worked as an operating room technician (handing the surgical instruments to the surgeon) for 3 and 1/2 years in a military hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii (a wonderful assignment as you might expect).  As planned, I finished schooling after I left the military, and the GI bill funded my tuition all the way through law school at Southern Illinois University.  I am forever grateful that I was afforded that luxury that so many others are not.  Upon my graduation from law school in 1986, I returned to the U.S. Army as a JAGC attorney, where I practiced as a criminal defense attorney at Ft. Campbell, Kentucky for three years.  Upon my discharge in 1990, I entered private practice first in Nashville, Tennesseee for three years, then in Chattanooga, where I have remained for the past 20 years.  I love Chattanooga, and I am very impressed with the legal history and traditions of our town, and the first rate judiciary our town seems to consistently produce.  Having worked in so many other jurisdictions, I am keenly aware how lucky Chattanooga is to have such a friendly, competent bar, and fair, concerned judges.  My staff and I try our best to honor and uphold the high standards of the Hamilton County courts, and we will do our best to help every client that puts their faith in us.

DeeAn loves nothing more than helping people and families, especially those who unfairly find themselves in a challenging legal situation. She is known for her compassion and her dogged determination on behalf of her clients.. YOU have no enemies, you say?. Alas! my friend, the boast is poor;. He who has mingled in the fray. Of duty, that the brave endure,. Small is the work that you have done.. You’ve hit no traitor on the hip,. You’ve dashed no cup from perjured lip,. You’ve never turned the wrong to right,. You’ve been a coward in the fight.. My sixth grade teacher Mr. Hawks had us memorize poems. I chose this one, and I'm glad it's embedded in my mind. I've had to draw on it many times. I am constantly on the front lines, trying to make things right. I will undoubtedly draw some fire. I don't do it intentionally -- it's just part of the job.
