Liam and Zahra

I honestly can't thank Zahra and Liam enough for everything they have done for my son and our family. From the very beginning, they treated us with kindness, compassion, and genuine care, making an incredibly difficult and emotional time so much easier to get through.
Their professionalism, dedication, and attention to every detail were outstanding. They always took the time to explain everything clearly, kept us updated throughout the case, and made us feel that my son's best interests were always their top priority.
What has meant the most to us is that their support didn't end when the case finished. They have continued to go above and beyond, offering guidance, reassurance, and taking the time to check in when they didn't have to. That level of care is something you don't often come across, and it has made a lasting difference to our family.
Zahra and Liam are an absolute credit to their profession. Their compassion, commitment, and unwavering support have meant more to us than words can express. We will always be grateful for everything they have done, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional legal representation. Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts.

I had a really positive experience and I’m very grateful for all the help I received. Zahra Al-Falouji and Dulcie Scott were incredibly supportive throughout the entire process—professional, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything was clear and handled smoothly.

She was not only efficient and responsive, but also genuinely kind and understanding, which made a stressful situation much easier to deal with. I always felt like I was in good hands.

Thank you again for your dedication and excellent service—I truly appreciate it and would highly recommend Zahra and Dulcie to anyone in need of assistance!

Best law frim - Tom O’Brien

I would like to express my utmost respect and gratitude for the outstanding work of Mary Monson Solicitors.

I was going through one of the most difficult periods of my life, both personally and for my family, as I was facing an accusation that I knew nothing about and did not commit. During this incredibly stressful time, we contacted several law firms, but Mary Monson Solicitors immediately stood out due to their compassionate, professional, and non-judgemental approach.

From the very beginning, they were reassuring without ever giving false hope. I particularly appreciated their honesty and transparency they were clear and realistic about the situation rather than simply telling me what I wanted to hear.

Tom O’Brien, who handled my case, was exceptional. He was straightforward, understanding, and guided me through every step of the process with clarity and confidence. His support made a significant difference during such a challenging time, and having him present during my interview provided real reassurance.

After some time, the case resulted in an NFA (No Further Action), which was the outcome we had hoped for.

I would like to sincerely thank everyone at Mary Monson Solicitors, and especially Tom, for their dedication, professionalism, and support throughout. I am truly grateful for everything they have done for me and my family

Liam and Zahra have been absolutely amazing. They were both incredibly supportive, professional, and dedicated throughout the whole process. Zahra went the extra mile to make sure I understood everything and felt reassured, while Liam’s expertise and commitment really showed in the outcome.

Supportive and professional from start to finish

Caitlin and Kara were incredibly helpful and supportive during what was a very stressful and unfamiliar situation for me.

From the very beginning, they were calm, professional and responsive. They took the time to explain everything clearly, reassured me when needed, and acted quickly when contact from the police was involved. Knowing that experienced professionals were handling communication on my behalf made a huge difference and helped ease a lot of the anxiety around the situation.

Both were approachable, patient and kept me informed throughout. I always felt that my concerns were taken seriously and that they genuinely wanted to help me achieve the best possible outcome.

I’m very grateful for their guidance and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mary Monson Solicitors to anyone in need of professional and supportive legal assistance.

Disappointing!

"My experience with this solicitor was absolutely shocking. Communication was minimal from the very start; I tried to call, however, she never returned any calls. In fact, at the beginning, I was in another country trying to get in touch. However, once I returned home, I met with the solicitor only once in person throughout the entire eight months my brother was innocently remanded. Every time my brother phoned the office to speak to the solicitor, she was never present—always unavailable, either at lunch or too busy to take his calls. Despite this, she repeatedly told us not to worry, insisting my brother was innocent. Meanwhile, I spoke to my brother three times a day in prison, while he was told he had nothing to fear. The solicitor also relied on a trainee or PA for communication, but this trainee was never fully updated on my brother’s case, so they had no real understanding of what was happening. The solicitor was also aware that a co-defendant had inside access to CPS information, but she kept this from us until the very moment he was coerced into a guilty plea, despite being innocent. There was a complete lack of empathy and support throughout this entire ordeal. This failure caused devastating harm to my brother’s future and my family’s lives."

Great help & advice

I called for advice and was lucky enough to be put through to Lauren. She was professional & used her expertise to help me. A key difference with this company is the kindness and empathy they offer. Thanks Lauren!
