“Very sorry to finally relay that my experience with Liam Kotrie at Mary Monsons was terrible. I felt he was indifferent to my plight, broken promises ref his personal court attendance and when his juniors did turn up they were sans important required material. To add insult to injury, the fees paid to his firm I was told by other legal professionals were "eye watering" and not appropriate for my low level charge. The whole way through it just felt that money was the motivating factor for them as opposed to justice for me.
Even at this stage they are unprepared to supply me a Costs Schedule to allow the rebate from the court as I was acquitted (almost exclusively imo due to the fantastic Rachel Cooper at Lincoln House Chambers who frankly rescued this whole debacle).
God forbid I am ever caught in the CJS again but I most certainly will NOT be using Monsons again.”
“i would not use this bunch of charlotons . potts an rishton let the police know my defence in advance an potts was sold to me as a solicitor when in fact he only para legal only fit to deal with parking tickets at best . i sacked them an found a proper legal firm do not use this firm wot so ever”
“Horrible Experience... Had a great deal for a commercial property so contacted them to do the paperwork. Even though I have paid their fees in advance, after 5 weeks I received no update in regards to the case. After many phone calls all I received was an answer that "they will start doing the searches as soon as they will have time for me". Because of this I've almost lost the case. When I contacted them to have a refund because no work has been made from their side whatsoever they started to avoid my calls. I am trying to communicate with them but no chance of someone taking your call.
I can't believe that something like this can exist: a solicitor firm to take your money and then avoid any contact with you and ignoring your case in the hope that you will leave it like this. Unbelievable.
Avoid them if you don't want to loose your money and time!”

“This firm helped my family through a difficult time and always listened to the full story
I did not feel they judged or simply saw a another fee in fact their fees were very reasonable”
“Nick Ives has been amazing throughout my partner's case. He has been supportive to the max and I am truly grateful for his total support, guidance and professionalism. I believe he went above and beyond his duty as a solicitor. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mary Monson solicitors.”
“When it comes to commercial disputes, you need a firm that’s professional, fair and completely transparent. This is my experience of Mary Monson solicitors.
With Joseph Kotrie Monson I felt I was in extremely capable hands. His experience and eye for detail were instrumental in my complex commercial dispute - with a lesser mortal I would not be the happy man I am today.
Credit to all the team who were open and honest - keeping me up to speed with any developments. Will certainly be using this esteemed firm again.”
“On instructing Mary Monson I received excellent service from the start to finish of my case. I was regularly updated and received prompt and helpful responses to all questions. Buying your first home can be a scary process but Leilah, Michelle and Gill made the whole process bearable and as smooth as it could have been. Highly recommended.”
“Very efficient, clear communication throughout the whole process. I never felt worried or stressed about anything, which was very surprising and against what everyone told me the property buying experience would be! Thanks again.”
“Mary Monson delivered a very high standards, very helpful and profesional.
Alex Chowdhury is one of the best solicitors. Cannot express my gratitude for his help!”
“We have used Mary Monsoons solicitors in the past and now again this year. We would not have had it any other way! The service has been exceptional. A dedicated law firm that cares about it's clients. One of the only firms I have come across that is so dedicated to achieving the best results for their clients. A firm that LISTENS to you. I would really recommend Nick Ives and Karan Sanghera for their welcoming approach and dedication to ensure our matter was dealt with professionally from beginning to end. I would also like to thank both for making themselves available at every opportunity possible to answer any questions we had and to help allay our concerns about the court case. No doubt the outcome was better than we had hoped for. Would I use Mary Monsoons again and recommend to all my family and friends? Yes absolutely without question. An understanding and sympathetic law firm which is a rare find nowadays.”
“Mary Manson's team led to a favourable outcome of my case and although I had no physical contact with the Manchester office- they were supportive to me via e-mail,telephone and Skype. It was after repeated communications with the CPS that the CPS offered no evidence and I was found not guilty.
This was my first experience with Criminal Justice and it was a very worring time for me and my family. They picked an excellent barrister for me and I would recommend them - in particular April Ford kept me up to speed at all times.”
“I required a fast-track purchase for an auction property for exchange to happen and for a quick completion and both Leila and Gill her assistant provided second to none assistance and very clear and helpful communications throughout the transaction. A credit to the company and have recommended them to friends and family and will do in future house or lease based requirements as and when they come up.”
“Very quick response and always keep clients updated in the process. Highly recommend our solicitor Michael who helped us go through the tough deadline imposed by the developer”
