I am grateful to N. I for all support offered over my case. First of all, I am happy to see how was I treated by them and how important was to bond a human relationship not just business.
The approach taken to minimise the risks taking in consideration the facts and the mitigation prepared has helped me to pass this difficult period.
Futhermore, the strategy used lead to non-custody sentence. If you ever are in trouble don’t hesitate to contact Mary Monson Solicitors.

Alex has been great
Alex has been great. I have had a false allegation through my ex-wife on false imprisonment. I had reached out to Alex and who gave me insights on how the process works. I had actually suggested that I would seek his services immediately in a formal capacity, but Alex countered and suggested that we engage only if there was a charge in this matter. He did spend good time helping me understand the whole process and didnt even charge me for his time, even when I volunteered. Speaks high of his morale.
My case has now been dismissed by the Police on their own accord, as there was hardly anything there and I sincerely thank Alex for his insights

In recent years I’ve had the opportunity to work with Mary Monson Solicitors on a complicated legal matter and I’ve been thoroughly impressed by their expertise and professionalism. From the moment I contacted them, they showed genuine compassion that went beyond their professional obligations and demonstrated a deep understanding of the legal issues at hand. Throughout the process, Mary Monson Solicitors provided clear and concise explanations of the law, and patiently answered all of my questions. When required, they were a force to be reckoned with and they argued my position with absolute conviction. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, we were able to achieve a favourable outcome.

Exceptional service
From start to finish Joseph, Nick and their team were exceptional. Their quick action, sound advice and calmness allowed me to get through an incredibly challenging period knowing I had full support.
Thankfully the situation was resolved quickly and this is in large part to their expertise and assured advice.
