Mary Monson Solicitors | Criminal Defence Law Firm - Salford Reviews 

We are so pleased to have had the support of Mary Monson Solicitors, and especially of Liam Kotrie and Zahra al-Falouji, who helped my family through an extremely difficult and stressful time.

From the moment we began, they were professional and genuinely compassionate, listening to us without judgement and making sure our voice was heard. Liam and Zahra took the time to explain complex legal processes clearly and patiently, always making sure we understood what was happening, so we knew that everything was under control.

What struck me most was their calmness and confidence, which helped us feel positive and reassured during an extremely stressful period. Their absolute dedication to getting the best outcome gave us absolute confidence that we were in good hands. They handled everything with such care and expertise, which made a huge difference to our wellbeing throughout.

Liam and Zahra were able to secure an even better outcome we were hoping for in our case. We would, without hesitation, use Mary Monson Solicitors again.

This company have always made me feel listened to, welcome and in safe hands. Over the numerous times I have used them over the years I have grew to know them and been looked after throughout my case’s and beyond by Mary Monson. They are well run structured organisation who know exactly what to do and more importantly how to do it and get results. I could not recommend this company enough if you are needing representation these are the people to assist you. I have recommended a countless amount of people to Mary Monson and have always been thanked for the outcomes which they have strived to achieve. Don’t think twice about ringing this firm and asking for the best within Liam and Joseph you will not be disappointed.

From the outset Nicola has been absolutely fantastic. She has always kept me informed as to what was going on and has displayed a very high level of professionalism in everything she has done.
From arranging barristers to supporting me and my family.
The end result was just the sweetener to all the hard work put in.
My family and I say a very heartfelt thank you.

I recently had the need to engage the services of Mary Monson solicitor, and I can confidently say the experience exceeded my expectations. From the initial consultation with Liam and Zahra to the final resolution, the team demonstrated professionalism, in-depth legal knowledge, and genuine care for my case.

They took the time to explain every step of the process clearly, which was incredibly reassuring during what was otherwise a stressful period. Communication was prompt and transparent, and I always felt like my concerns were heard and addressed. Zahra just knew when I needed a call from her for reassurance and comfort.

What stood out most was their strategic approach. They carefully examined all the details, challenged evidence where necessary, and provided honest advice, even when it wasn’t necessarily what I wanted to hear—which I respected.

Mary Monson Solicitors – Outstanding Legal Service

I had an excellent experience with Mary Monson Solicitors. From start to finish, the support I received was truly superb.

Special thanks to Ms. Jamie Dickson and Mr. Robert Bailey for their professionalism, dedication, and respectful approach throughout my legal matter.
They handled my case with care, clarity, and expertise, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the amazing service and outstanding result.
If you're facing any legal issues, I highly recommend this firm for their exceptional commitment and support.

The respect and kindness we were given by all the staff were outstanding. There were times when we were overwhelmed with questions and legal issues,but Kara Mills was always there to answer whatever questions we had.She was the voice of reason and reassurance in the most difficult time. Both Kara and Tom were so professional and knew the legal answers which were needed for the issues in our case.They were the best choice we made to guide ,reassure and give us there excellent professional services at most difficult and emotional time ,we will be forever grateful.

I have had a court case pending for the last 8 months. Due to the severity of the crime I was more or less certain that I would received a custodial sentence. Yesterday at my sentencing I received a suspended sentence and avoided spending time in prison. This outcome would not have been possible without the hard and dedicated work from Zahra, who was in overall charge of my case, and also Jess who represented me in court on the day. As a person with quite severe mental health issues, understandably this process put a lot of strain on my mental health, something which my representatives were aware of, but from my first hearing to my sentencing all the staff at Mary Monsons made the utmost effort to make me feel at ease by both explaining the process to me in full an reassuring me that they would do all they can to help me achieve the best possible outcome. I will be forever grateful to each and every person who helped me with my case, and especially I would like to give a huge thanks to Zahra and Jess. I would highly recommend to anybody who needs legal aid to not hesitate in getting in touch with Mary Monsons, they are a great team who will support you every step of the way.

Zahra was really very professional,good communication skills, humble and intelligent too fully satisfied.

Amazing result, after being threatened by the police with a custodial sentence of 4 and a half years, the outcome was a £500 fine.
Liam and Zahra were first class and Zahra was helpful and supportive every step of the way. Liam chose a great barrister for us called Richard English, who was a wonderful human being and did a great job.

Thomas was very professional and respectful. Helped answer any worries or concerns. Couldn’t of asked for better. Thank you Thomas and team.

Jamie and Zahra were amazing! They were so understanding and supportive, answering any question no matter how small and reassuring my anxiety during such as stressful time. Jamie would regularly ring just to check in with me and travelled miles to attend the interview with me where she was professional and made me feel confident and reassured. Would 100% use them again- although I hope I never need their services again.

I reached out to Mary Monson Solicitors after a worrying incident involving the police at the airport in December 2024. From the very first conversation, they made what was a stressful and confusing situation so much clearer and easier to handle.

Joseph Kotrie-Monson, one of the firm’s directors, stood out particularly. He wasn’t just knowledgeable—he genuinely took the time to understand my personal circumstances and provided practical, reassuring advice tailored exactly to my situation. It felt incredibly supportive to have someone who didn't just see me as a case, but as a person.
The entire team showed an exceptional level of care and dedication. It’s rare to find legal expertise matched with such genuine compassion and understanding. If you're ever in need of excellent legal advice from people who truly care about their clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Mary Monson Solicitors.

I was represented over a decade ago by Mr Liam Kotrie he handled my case so professionally and remained positive and clear throughout I am forever thankful and recommend mary monson solicitors above any other firm. many thanks

I found my experience with Mary Monson Solicitors to be a very good one. I was suffering from anxiety at the time and Nicola and her assistant Zahra were very patient and understanding with me. Nicola showed great knowledge in her field and was very professional and thorough at all times. I would not hesitate in using them again and would highly recommend.

Bradley dealt with my son case recently. He was very courteous, and went above and beyond to answer any questions we had as a family. Whilst keeping us informed of the ongoing court process. With his due diligence my son received the correct outcome.

Brilliant law firm do the upmost for the client excellent service from Zahra Al-Falouji,
Nicola tyres They really do there best for client and seek the best possible justice and results they have gone out of there way for me time and time again

My case was handled by Liam Kotrie and Lucy McWilliam.
Both were extremely professional and showed great kindness, but when needed, told me the truth. Without them both, i am not sure i would have got through this trauma. I am so grateful I called Mary Monson and so, so grateful I was assigned Liam Kotrie. I cannot thank you enough Liam and Lucy. My kindest regards always.

We recently used Mary Monson Solicitors for a case involving my son. We dealt with Lucy McWilliam for the majority of our correspondence, Lucy was very nice and always came back to us quickly if we had any queries. For the actual hearing we had Nicola Tyers representing our son, Nicola was very professional, she put a good case forward for us and we got the best possible outcome. We would definitely recommend.

At the most horrendous time of my life Nicola Tyers was a tremendous source of support, advice and representation. A example of professionalism - coupled with an invaluable patience that is very much appreciated at the most difficult of times. Would highly recommend her.

A special mention for Bridget Galvin who went above and beyond to help with my case. Again demonstrating a high level of patience needed when dealing with people at their worst moments.

We were very lost being spanish with a son with very special problems. Robert and Emily were very concieus about this situation and treated him very well.
