About Monica Helen
Monica Helen Beck built a legal career that moves between large-firm litigation, in-house counsel work, and nonprofit legal management. She practices in both Michigan and New York and brings a steady, practical approach to daily legal problems.
Beck earned a B.A. in economics from Northwestern University in 1992. She returned to school in the late 1990s and received her J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School in 2001. Those academic years set the groundwork for a practice that spans transactional and litigation matters.
Her early professional days included time at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, where she served as a lawyer beginning in 2004. The experience at a major national firm exposed her to complex corporate and litigation work. In 2011 she moved into the nonprofit sector as Deputy General Counsel at Phoenix House Foundation. That role broadened her day-to-day responsibilities and deepened her experience in compliance and organizational legal affairs.
In 2014 Beck joined The Fierberg National Law Group, PLLC as Managing Legal Counsel. The post placed her in a leadership position, overseeing legal operations and supporting litigation strategy across matters handled by the firm. Over time she has continued to balance casework with management duties, supervising outside counsel when matters require it and shaping internal legal processes.
Her published memberships reflect the range of her practice. Beck holds active membership in both the New York State Bar and the Michigan State Bar. She is also a member of the National Crime Victims Bar Association and the Michigan Association for Justice. Those affiliations indicate an engagement with civil justice issues and victim-advocacy networks alongside broader bar activities.
Colleagues describe Beck as methodical and direct in her work. She approaches disputes with an eye on practical outcomes and the administrative tasks that support litigation and counsel functions. Her background in economics and the experience at a large firm, a charitable foundation, and a national law group give her a mix of perspectives on risk allocation, client counseling, and courtroom preparation.
She currently practices at The Fierberg National Law Group, PLLC, where she handles matters that blend litigation oversight, corporate counseling, and nonprofit regulatory issues.
