Mary Monson Solicitors | Criminal Defence Law Firm Reviews 

My case was represented by Sara Longden, an extremely experienced and well versed solicitor, who provided me with a high standard of professionalism and an excellent knowledge base. Correspondence was extremely timely and informative.
I would recommend Mary Monson Solicitors for those seeking high quality legal representations.

I was very happy with the good advice provided given by Mathew and by his support of me when facing the police.
There were times when I insisted on giving an explanation to the police officer but he insisted otherwise saying that I would only expose myself. He was punctual and I felt throughout that he was on my side. Whenever I called to follow up he was ver cooperative and put in good words to the police on my behalf.

Jamie supported my partner through his case and provided an immaculate service, couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you Jamie!

Great service support all the way to the end of the case

I would like to give a big thank you to Zahra and Taz for guiding me through a difficult time. They were always there to give friendly and positive advice regarding my case which ended with a good result. I would recommend them both highly to anybody.

Helpful Assist.

Can't recommend this firm enough for their professionalism and deep care for their clients. Mr. Thomas O'Brien was an amazing solicitor and adviser, and on many levels he went above and beyond to resolve my issue. Another mention goes to Ms. Dulcie Scott who kept me up to date via excellent coms inc responding to emails on Saturday!
Thank you, much appreciated 👏

I am so happy to have been appointed Jamie Dickson as my solicitor to represent me at Mary Monson's Solicitors. She was always there to reassure me and kept me informed of proceedings and gave up much of her time. I will always be grateful for her patience and understanding, in what was a difficult case.

I cannot recommend Jamie Dickson of Mary Monson Solicitors highly enough for her outstanding representation during what was an extremely stressful and upsetting time for me.

Jamie represented me at Bolton Police Station in October 2025 after I was wrongfully accused of harassment by my nephew. The allegation claimed that I was spreading rumours about his conviction of insurance fraud, despite the fact that this matter had already been reported publicly by the BBC and various national newspapers.

Nevertheless, being subjected to such an accusation was deeply distressing.
From the very beginning, Jamie was calm, professional, and exceptionally thorough. She took the time to fully understand the background of the situation, explained the legal process clearly, and ensured that my rights were protected at every stage. Her advice was precise, confident, and clearly based on a strong grasp of both the facts and the law.

During the police interview, Jamie’s attention to detail, strategic thinking, and firm advocacy were truly impressive. She challenged the allegations appropriately and ensured that the context and public nature of the information were properly addressed. As a direct result of her professionalism and expertise, Greater Manchester Police dropped the allegations against me.

Jamie’s support not only delivered the right outcome, but also gave me reassurance and confidence throughout the process. I am extremely grateful for her dedication and skill, and I would not hesitate to recommend Jamie Dickson and Mary Monson Solicitors to anyone in need of first-class legal representation.

Mary Monson Solicitors come highly recommended. They provided an outstanding, caring and professional service in a recent criminal case for a close family member and secured a positive result.
The solicitors, Sara Longden and Zahra Al-Falouji provided excellent support throughout an extremely long and difficult period. They both kept in regular contact with the defendant and immediate family members, offering clear, timely and reassuring communication, resulting in all involved feeling informed and supported despite the seriousness of the situation. Sara asked KC Stan Reiz, supported by Graham Arnold to represent; both barristers were excellent. The legal team at Mary Monson offered an excellent service, from initial contact to the positive conclusion and we are so grateful.

I was repesented at magistrates court by Zahra from Mary Monson. She was helping me with a drug driving charge and managed to get me the best outcome possible, lowering my category of charge. I highly recommend her she is extremely knowledgeable!

First rate service provided by Kara, Thomas, Alex, Sarah and the team. They took the time to guide me through an extremely stressful and overwhelming experience and were helpful, considerate and thoughtful throughout. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

There are no words to do justice to the incredible work Mary Monson achieve especially Thomas O'brien. From the very beginning , the case felt impossible and we honestly had no hope of winning, but thanks to their professionalism, dedication, and expertise we received the outcome we never thought was possible.
Throughout the entire process, they was supportive, patient, and always took the time to explain everything clearly. Their attention to detail was impeccable and their determination to fight for justice truly sets them apart from any other firm. Thomas treated us with compassion during a very stressful time and went above and beyond at every stage. He was with us from the start to the end supporting us, guiding us and offering his expertise. We are truly greatful for everything they have done. If you are looking for a Solicitor who genuinely cares and will give their all i cannot recommend Thomas O'brien highly enough. Mary Monson and Thomas turned a hopeless situation into a victory and me and my family will never forget it.

Mary Monsons were extremely understanding and professional when it came to my matter, Thomas O'Brien and Taz were very knowledgeable and approachable promptly responding to emails or calls when I had and questions that I needed answered.

What an amazing law firm.
Helped me from the very start by giving me advice and making me feel like they cared.
Once they took my case they kept the pressure on for a decision to be made and after only a few months of relentless pressure my case was NFA’d.
I genuinely believe without Nick and the Mary Monson team my case would have gone well into 2026 causing me more unwanted stress and worry.

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.

I soke to a lady called Tas over the phone and she was very helpful and gave me lots of good information on how to proceed in my case. She rang me back as she said she would and generously gave me her time.
Thank you 😊

I would like to give Mary Monson Solicitors 5 stars for their great service and diligence to my case. I found them to be professional, polite and friendly during their visit to the Police Station and their telephone conversations, too. I would like to give special thanks to Zahra and Bridget for all their help during that stressful time. If you need specialist help then please don’t hesitate and call Mary Monson Solicitors today.
Thanks so much you brilliant Team.
Regards
Dave.

I cannot thank Mary Monson enough, or be more impressed with the service I received.

I found myself in a situation where I had to attend court to answer some charges that would have caused significant disruption to my life if I didn't manage to clear my name.

I onboarded MM after being charged, and my case was assigned to both Jamie Dickson and Liam Kotrie. The pair work excellently together. Jamie is kind, thoughtful, empathetic and well organised. She exudes confidence which immediately puts you at ease. Liam is formidable for want of a better word. He is clearly a highly competent, and incredibly knowledgeable individual and it is obvious now why previous reviews speak so highly of him. I would want him in my corner if ever I found myself at the mercy of a court again, which naturally I hope not to.

I cannot recommend Mary Monson enough. If you are in need of representation, you would be foolish to look elsewhere. I wish you could give 6 stars on this review.

Thank you again, MM team.

Amazing outcome. I would have never have expected to get the outcome I got. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a solicitor!
