Excellent and very professional

My solicitor Jamie was very helpful, professional and put me at ease throughout the whole process and made what could have been a very stressful time a lot easier.

I highly recommend her and everyone else at Mary Monson

The support you need at your time of challenge

I contacted Mary Monson at a time of need, having for my first time been arrested and facing criminal proceeding which would have huge impacts on my life / job.
I spoke with Jamie & Tom, both who from
the outset listened and didn’t judge. They have both been a massive support for me over the last 12-months from just someone to speak to at difficult times to diligently putting forward my case which thankfully has lead to all charges against me being dropped. They have also been honest and realistic with me on what outcomes could be.
If you find yourself in the same situation get in touch with them , I genuinely think without their support I wouldn’t have got this positive outcome.
Thank you Jamie & Tom!

Disclosure of all I asked for was never completed.
Failed to support me in court and sent a duty solicitor instead, twice, both times they did not have a grasp of my case

Faulty equipment failing to hold its charge caused a breach of tag. Not a breach of bail, which I was advised to plead guilty to..

EMS we're not challenged regarding my 2nd tag being fitted at Formby leading to another court appearance for refusing to have a tag fitted. I never refused to have a tag fitted or a 2nd box fitted.

There seems to have been a failure to address me being excluded from.the whole of Derbyshire until a different barrister dealt with my case.

These are the main things I am not happy about.

I would like to know why the prosecution dropped the case 3 weeks before trial date in October when the original trial date in Feb had been vacated. They had opportunity to drop the case then.

Several cctv clips I sent seem to have been lost?

But Jamie overall was really helpful.

Any time either me or my partner needed them for advice or reassurance, they were always there on the other end of the phone happy to help. 10/10 service, would recommend.

Excellent support from start to finish

From the moment I was arrested and released on bail, Mary Monson solicitors, specifically Thomas O'Brien,
provided much needed advice and much appreciated support to me my closest family members.

This engagement covered support at the police station, onto magistrates court and finally to Crown Court over an extended period.

Thomas got to know me well and spent time to understand all of the circumstances surrounding my crime.

This ultimately led to him preparing an excellent and robust defense case for me, supported by a fantastic barrister and a very experienced and relevant mental health expert witness.

Thank you Nicola and Liam!

I would like to thank Nicola Tyers for her support during my first court case and Liam Kotrie for representing me at my sentence hearing. They both did an excellent job. I hope to not need them again but if I did I would always use Mary Monson Solicitors. 5* service!

Positive Review for Jamie and Liam

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jamie and Liam, two exceptional criminal solicitors, on my case. Throughout the entire process, they provided outstanding representation and support.

Both Jamie and Liam demonstrated a deep understanding of the law and my specific situation. They were able to clearly explain the legal process and answer all my questions in a way that was easy to understand. I felt confident in their expertise and judgement.

What truly impressed me was their genuine care and concern for my well-being. They took the time to understand the details of my case and the impact it had on me. They were always available to address my concerns and provided regular updates on the progress of my case.

Thanks to Jamie and Liam's hard work and dedication, my case achieved a very positive outcome. I am incredibly grateful for their guidance and support throughout this challenging time.

If you are in need of criminal defense representation, I wholeheartedly recommend Jamie and Liam. They are not only highly skilled solicitors, but also compassionate and supportive advocates.

Exceptional defence of our case

My son was unjustly charged for assaulting a police officer. From early on, we knew that it was in fact he who was assaulted and that all involved in the prosecution were corroborating to build a nasty case against him, neglecting key evidence, giving false testimony, and hiding crucial CCTV footage. From the outset and given the nature of the case, I understood that we would need a defence of the highest caliber. Edd (my son) was understandably in deep shock at that time. I contacted four law firms but upon hearing Jamie’s and Sara’s approach and advice, the decision was easy: we HAD to hand this case to Mary Monson. This turned out to be absolutely the best decision! After advising us to willfully move the case from Magistrates' Court to Crown Court, Sara suggested we work with a truly brilliant and outstanding barrister, Mr. Paul Williams. The connection was immediate: from the meticulous preparation of the case, to the exceptional defence in court up until the NOT GUILTY verdict the level of competence and professionalism was truly magnificent.

Thank you for sharing your experience with Mary Monson Solicitors and the positive impact Jamie, Sara, and Paul Williams had on your son Edd's case. It's heartening to hear that in such a difficult and distressing situation, their approach, advice, and professional expertise gave you the confidence to entrust them with the case.

The strategic decision to move the case to the Crown Court and the involvement of an outstanding barrister like Paul Williams played a crucial role in Edd's case's meticulous preparation and defence. Achieving a 'Not Guilty' verdict in such challenging circumstances is a testament to their dedication and skill.

Your recognition of their competence and professionalism is greatly appreciated. We're glad that your decision to work with them led to such a positive outcome, and cases like these underscore the importance of expert legal representation. Wishing you and Edd the very best moving forward.

Kind regards,
Mary Monson Solicitors
