Practice Areas

 


Living in Monterey County, one naturally takes an interest in land – in how property is situated and utilized, how produce grows and enters the stream of commerce and the issues the community and stakeholders face in a fast-paced and ever-changing business climate. At the law firm of Moncrief & Hart, Monterey County native Paul Moncrief together with Paul Hart transform that innate interest into a thriving legal practice focusing on all aspects of land use, business and agriculture.

A progressive yet pragmatic attitude, as well as in-depth knowledge of current legal, political and business issues, sets Moncrief & Hart apart.

Our Team

Paul Moncrief

A 1989 graduate of Salinas High School, Paul attended University of California, Santa Barbara, where he obtained bachelors degrees in Spanish and Law and Society.  He also obtained a masters degree from UCSB in Latin American Studies with an emphasis in Mexican History and political science.  While in graduate school Paul studied politics in the Mexican state of Guanajuato, focusing on the administration of then-governor Vicente Fox.  His master's thesis, published in 1997 predicted Fox's victory in the 2000 Mexican presidential election.

Paul earned his law degree from UC Davis in 1999.  During law school, he clerked in the legal department of the California Department of Food and Agriculture and served as Editor-in-chief of the UC Davis Journal of International Law & Policy and was a member of the UC Davis Law Review.

Paul Hart

Paul Hart is an experienced litigator and trial attorney specializing in resolving agricultural business and general business disputes.  Mr. Hart grew up in Central Indiana, the eldest child in a multi-generational farming family.  Mr. Hart obtained a bachelors degree in Biology from DePauw University (1991) and graduated cum laude from Northwestern School of Law at Lewis & Clark College (1996), in Portland Oregon.

Mr. Hart is the father of four and strongly belives in the importance of family as a guiding and stabilizing force.  His practice style is perhaps most guided by the words of his grandfather:

"What's fair is fair and what's right is right.  Always be reasonable enough to make sure that you are on the side of fairness and righteousness."
