Nicola from Mary Monson

Nicola from Mary Monson is fantastic and has recently handled my case, which thankfully had a positive outcome. Without Nicola’s support, I don’t know how I would have come through this as she was extremely thorough with her work and also a calming presence both over the phone and in person during interviews. Nicola is a credit to Mary Monson and I can’t thank her enough for her diligence, support and communication which ended in a very positive outcome.

A testament to Nicola’s commitment is that she delivered the good news to my family when she was on holiday which shows how much she cares about her clients. Again, thank you Nicola & Mary Monson.

What can I say

What can I say. 3 year journey I was suffering worst time in my life. Jonathan, Tom and Tas saved my life. From the start dealing with the police, through to Crown Court. They guided me through each step, making everything smooth and stress free. Explained everything in a way I could understand and was very prompt and clear with communication the entire time. Aside from the fact case ended in our favour, they very competent and knowledgeable lawyers to have on your team. They went above and beyond. I felt they genuinely cared for me and believed me. Even my Barrister was carefully selected by the team best suited for my case, they wouldn’t just have any one. Barrister even made a comment saying this was best prepared case and instructions he has received from Solicators. Honestly I can’t thank you enough will always be forever grateful

Thank you Tom and Dulcie

My husband and I could not have had a better team than Thomas O’Brien and Dulcie Scott to guide us through a really frightening first experience with the police. We were totally bewildered but from our first contact with them, their confidence, experience and reassurance got us through a really bad time. They kept us updated and guided us throughout the ordeal to arrive at the best possible result of the case being dropped.

Peter and zahra

Peter and zahra were absolutely brilliant from start to finish, amazing support and guidance throughout in what was the worst experience of my life. They were in constant contact with myself whether it was an update on my case or to check in on my wellbeing. Would highly recommend them both and cannot thank them both enough for the quick and affective work. Absolutely brilliant

What lovely people

What lovely people.
My query wasn't something that they specialised in but they were able to point me in the right direction of what I needed to do and to where I would have the best chance of finding the help that I needed with an explanation of why this was the case.
Which is something that other law firms and solicitors that I contacted left me wanting but couldn't seem to provide me with.
Friendly staff and a positive experience. If I ever need the services you provide. You are the people.
Thanks again!

Disappointment

"I sought help from a solicitor after a workplace incident, confident in my innocence due to CCTV footage. Despite their reassurances, I was told not to worry, but no action was taken. I spent eight months in jail, including over Christmas, away from my children. The solicitor also failed to appear at arranged appointments, leaving me even more isolated. Even after my release, I carry a charge that I never should have faced, and it has blocked my employment opportunities. This experience has severely impacted my mental health, and I only now feel able to speak about it. they know from day one it was a set up I provide my innocence and they didn't follow it up regarding CCTV
VERY DISAPPOINTED WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!

I contacted Mary Monson’s yesterday evening about 4pm and was immediately answered by a professional call handler who was kind and non judgmental. She searched for an available solicitor and said they would ring me back in 10 minutes and the person would be Tas.
Within the 10 minutes Tas did indeed call me and was very kind, again not judging with the details of my situation. She gave simple guidance and advice which gave me reassurance. So thank you Tas and I am confident I’ve found the right firm to represent me. I await a call today from a senior solicitor and I will be engaging this firm. Thank you.

Amazing represenation

Jamie Dickson in particular has been a huge help in my three years from my arrest to the final court appearance. from the 26th of January 2023 to 22nd October 2025 she has been there answering any questions i asked. As it was the only time i have gone through something like this i did not understand what was going on however having Jamie there and the team of Mary Monson's Solicitors proved to be the best. Jessica Strike helped a bunch on two of my court appearances and they managed to find a barrister on very short notice when it came to the crown court when it looked like i would have to wait another month for the matter to end. They took into consideration your personal matters and went according to that.
