Mr. Monzione began his legal career in California in 1981 as the protégé of the famous Melvin M. Belli, Sr., with whom he later entered into partnership in 1989. Practicing with Mr. Belli, dubbed “The King of Torts,” Monzione was consistently assigned the firm’s most difficult and highest profile cases, including cases with national exposure. After Belli’s death and some years working with the partnership of Brown, Monzione, Fabbro, Zakaria & Scarlett, Attorney Monzione decided to move back home to New England in 1997, to open a solo practice.

In the course of his career, Mr. Monzione has been lead counsel or principal counsel on several cases which have resulted in multi-million dollar recoveries, settlements and verdicts, to an estimated total of close to $100 million dollars.

Many of these attorney/client relationships are confidential, but some of the entertainment clients he has represented or worked with publicly include Muhammed Ali, Lana Turner, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Chuck Berry, Phyllis McGuire of the McGuire Sisters, to name just a few. He continues to represent people in the entertainment industry, from New Hampshire to California, and most recently negotiated motion picture contracts with SONY and Columbia, copyright agreements with CBS, and a number of book deals.

In addition to his trial work, Attorney Monzione maintains a membership in The New Hampshire Association for Justice (also known as The New Hampshire Trial Lawyers Association), where he served as President (2010-2011 term) and as an officer and member of the Board of Governors. Attorney Monzione is also a member of The American Association for Justice , as well as several other professional associations, and sits on various boards of directors.
