Mary Monson Solicitors | Criminal Defence Law Firm - London Reviews 

I used Mary Monson Solicitors, and specifically, Alex Chowdhury, to represent me. I was extremely satisfied with their service. Alex is extremely knowledgeable, professional and empathetic. He guided me through a very difficult process with calmness. He explained every part of the process and gave excellent advice.

I will say that Nick and Caitlin are two of the best solicitors in the business. Knowledgable, meticulous and approachable, they provided expert representation, sage advice and a reassuring presence every step of the way. I would recommend Nick and Caitlin to anyone who needs help and representation.

From my original enquiry I was given more information than I was ever provided before, very very professional highly recommend

When the police unexpectedly arrived at my flat and took me in for questioning, I was overwhelmed with confusion and shock. Fortunately, the support of Mary Monson Solicitors helped me navigate this challenging time. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Alex Chowdhury, whose empathy, attentiveness, and professional legal guidance were invaluable. Thanks to his assistance, I was able to overcome this difficult experience and restore my normal life.

Very impressed. I initially spoke with Caitlin who was reassuring and helped me understand the processes involved. She listened with compassion and gave guidance and I feel that she genuinely cared.
I also spoke with Tom and Rob, who again reassured me, understood my concerns and were able to answer my questions.
The team were quick to respond and very professional.

From day one, this team has been nothing short of exceptional. As someone with little experience in the legal system, I initially felt overwhelmed, but their patience and ability to explain everything in simple, clear terms made all the difference. What truly stands out and earns them my highest rating is the genuine care they've shown for me, my family, and my well-being. They’ve been incredibly supportive, non-judgmental, and always available whenever I needed them—especially during the tough moments. Their dedication goes beyond legal representation; they truly care, and I couldn’t have asked for a better team.

I had the chance to work with Alex Chowdhury and Alex's professionalism and care made everything easier in the process. Alex achieved a positive result in our case but most importantly made us all comfortable along a stressful process .

We had a very good experience using Mary Monson Solicitors. Nick and Matthew were always available and able to answer our questions. They were extremely caring and empathetic in their approach.

Following a lot of search I was lucky to come across Mary Monson Law Firm to assist me on my first ever allegation case and the first time to using a solicitor, the case was handled by Caitlin Watson-Scoley. Caitlin was very professional showed kindness and understanding, very patient with my anxiety for not knowing the outcome. Caitlin examined all the details and the background to the allegations and how to approach the case to achieve best possible outcome, I thank Caitlin for all her time, advice and for the successful outcome.

I had an excellent experience working with Mary Monson Law Firm on my case. From start to finish, their team was professional, responsive, and dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome. Alex Chaudery took the time to thoroughly explain the legal process and kept me informed every step of the way. I felt supported and confident in his ability to handle my case. Highly recommend their services!

Tom was professional throughout. He was always prompt to reply to any queries I had, even out of office hours. I appreciated his honesty and directness which allowed us to get through things quickly and efficiently.

I found myself in the most unfair and unjust accusation relating to an occurrence 30 years ago. The way I have been treated by the Police and CPS throughout the process over a 3 year period has been unacceptable and unjust. I have not been given a voice or opportunity to receive fair and balanced hearings. My faith in the judicial system has been destroyed through poor Police investigation and what seemed like, at times, a corrupt process in the CPS. My solicitor (Nicholas Ives) and team around him at Mary Monson Solicitors supported me with the fundamental advice and experienced support to stand firm against what appears to be a dysfunctional legal system. Their experience goes beyond the norm providing sound, mature and strategic advice in an attempt to ensure that the process was kept factual and legal. More like a family than a business. Thank you to all of the team for your continued support and expertise.

I was arrested in early 2024 and after 6 months I was given NFA and my property was returned. I had no previous interactions with the police and was clueless about how the criminal justice system works.

Initially, I called 10+ solicitors to ask for help and only 1 listened to me without interruption, encouraged me to research other solicitors before committing and told me that my life wasn’t over whatever the outcome. For that I will always be indebted to Nick Ives. Nick is generous with his time, kind and empathetic and explains everything clearly and succinctly. Throughout my case Nick was happy to take calls when I asked him, would reply to emails in a timely manner and generally made me feel a little more at ease when my head was turning day after day. I know that my case was resolved relatively quickly and if someone is in a similar position for a long time, having Nick on your side will help calm and centre your mind.

This process will weigh heavily on you day after day whether you realise it or not and that is why I was very fortunate to have Molly Lafferty as my paralegal, aiding Nick. Molly has a professional and kind manner. She never made me feel judged or worried and would always answer my questions/respond to me quickly. Additionally if Molly didn’t know the answer she would consult Nick rather than bat away my concerns. I am very grateful to have had Molly supporting me throughout this ordeal.

I would also like to mention the reception staff at MMS Manchester, specifically Danielle. I felt they were always polite and eager to help you find who you needed quickly.

Overall, MMS never tried to pull the wool over my eyes, treated me with respect, empathy and kindness and I would recommend them to anyone in a similar position.

Brilliant service they walk you through every step of the process with great results.

Alex has been really helpful in guiding us through our case. He has been really proactive and great at communication as well as fast paced decision making. Cannot recommend enough!

Excellent service provided by both Jamie Dickson and Lucy McWilliam in my pre-charge defence. The professional approach to my case was exactly what was needed due to the sensitivity and seriousness of the historical allegation made against me.
Non judgemental and supportive throughout.
Highly recommended

We found ourselves in a very unprecedented situation, we were innocent of the wrongdoing that had been brought to our table. We were only investigated, but nevertheless this is a very daunting situation and procedure to endure.
We worked with Nick Ives from Mary Monson Solicitors, the service has been second to none, absolutely first class, extremely professional, kind, caring and so considerate. The service and advice we received from Nick we have never experienced before in any legal capacity.
Please do not hesitate to on board with Nick, Joseph or any of the team. We feel so blessed with the choice that we made; it made our journey through this daunting experience so much easier to deal with. The truth prevailed. The Best!

Just would like to say a big thank you to Sarah for winning yet another case for me she is really the best solicitor in London. THIS SOLICITOR PUTS THE WORK IN!!!!!!!!!! U will not find better god bless her

Nick & Zahra from Mary Monson Solicitors helped me with a very difficult legal situation. They were easy to deal with, communicated quickly and accurately and both had a calm and assured manner.
