Monaco Solicitors Reviews 

Sarah O’Brien was fantastic support during what was, for me, the first time being made redundant in the UK. From the outset she made the process feel clear and manageable, taking the time to explain the relevant UK employment law and my rights (including what my options realistically were given my length of service).

She reviewed the settlement agreement thoroughly, walked me through the key clauses in plain English, and highlighted what was standard vs what needed attention. Her suggestions were genuinely helpful and practical — including improvements to protect me from potential deductions, ensuring my P45 would be sent to my personal email, correcting clause references, and clarifying arrangements for company property return (including recommending the company arrange and pay for courier collection). She also talked through timelines and the implications of restrictive covenants so I could make informed decisions.

Professional, calm, and extremely knowledgeable — I felt well-advised and supported throughout. I’d highly recommend Sarah to anyone needing employment law advice.

I cant thank these enought. The help and support i got right through my case. Emails answered straight away .
I want to thank Sasha-lee for all her support and her kind words that got me through it . What an amazing lady she is. Thanks again Sasha-lee.
Highly recommended 5*********

I cannot recommend Monarco Solicitors highly enough. From start to finish, they were absolutely brilliant and amazing. My solicitor was fantastic — attentive, professional, and truly listened to everything I had to say. They followed a clear, methodical process and clearly knew exactly what they were doing.
They handled my case exceptionally well and secured the very best possible outcome, especially impressive given the length of time I had spent in my previous job. The office admin and support team were also brilliant — friendly, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout.
If you need legal support, do not hesitate to go to Monarco Solicitors. I would trust them again without a second thought. Highly recommended to my fellow humans! Thank you to you all. X

I contacted Monaco Solicitors and I was assigned to Sasha-Lee van Wyk. Never in my life felt so much love for a person I have never seen. She is absolutely professional, communication is spotless and prompt but what I loves the most is her genuine kind approach to a very stressful situation, because seeking legal help is always stressful but Sasha-Lee was extremely kind and thanks to her I managed to keep my mental health positive even when my employer did everything in their power to make me struggle even more. The kind and supportive nature of Sasha-Lee made my difficult time much easier. I will always be grateful for Sasha-Lee. Thank you and I 100% recommend Sasha-Lee and Monaco Solicitors I couldn't have nobody else throughout this difficult time I went through. From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU for everything you do!❤️

I did receive a reminder from Monaco Solicitors about the tribunal time limit, but beyond that I felt very unsupported. As soon as my employer refused to engage with their email, the communication from Monaco effectively stopped. There was no follow‑up, no guidance, and no effort to advise me on what to do next. I am dealing with significant health issues and reached out because I needed proper support, but instead I was left feeling abandoned at a very stressful time. Overall, I feel let down by the level of service I received.

They were a bit slow to engage with at the outset and the over reliance on automation for their cost control and volume management was a little frustrating. However, once they engaged, they were efficient and provided advice on the right issues. I also found Salama Hasanin to be responsive and helpful and I felt she went the extra mile when needed to meet deadlines. I would recommend this firm.

Karrissa Webster was fantastic. She provided great advice and constant dialogue and I really felt she went the extra mile.

I was extremely impressed and comforted by Paul Young at what was an extremely difficult time for me. He was patient, thoughtful and regularly checked in, and without doubt he is a great lawyer.

I reached out to Monaco Solicitors for assistance negotiating a settlement agreement with a previous employer. Simrath was exceptionally responsive, supportive, and attentive throughout and listened to my suggestions and input.

She was very clear about the likely outcomes, the fee structure, and the overall process from the outset. While I have some legal knowledge myself, having a solicitor and firm in your corner really helps add weight and reassurance during negotiations.

It was such a relief to have professional support, especially as I had been doing much of the heavy lifting on my own.

I would highly recommend Monaco Solicitors to anyone looking to finalise a fair and reasonable settlement agreement.

Thank you, Simrath, for handling my case so smoothly and bringing peace of mind after such a stressful period in my life. I’m very happy with the outcome.

(Formal Complaint – Case Reference: INV‑022591)

To the Attention of the Quality Department and Senior Management
Monaco Solicitors

I am writing to formally raise a complaint regarding the legal representation and professional conduct of Fiammetta, who was assigned to manage my case. Her actions and approach consistently failed to meet the ethical, professional, and client‑care standards expected from a solicitor and from a firm of your reputation.

Below I outline the reasons for my profound dissatisfaction and the state of vulnerability in which I was placed:

1. Lack of Professional Diligence and Strategic Commitment
When I requested a fairer resolution due to the serious issues at my previous workplace, the solicitor responded: “I am afraid that the company will close itself off to negotiation.”
This defeatist stance, combined with the absence of a robust adversarial strategy, directly undermined the defence of my interests.

2. Failure to Provide Expert Guidance
When I asked whether she would personally accept such terms in my position, she refused to provide a professional opinion. A solicitor is hired precisely for their expertise and judgment. Declining to validate her own advice when the client seeks clarity is a failure of duty.

3. Coercive Pressure and Improper Financial Threats
I was pressured to accept a settlement under the warning that, if I did not sign, her professional fees would be claimed immediately regardless of the outcome.
This tactic placed me under undue pressure and deprived me of genuine freedom of choice.

4. Prioritisation of Billing Over Client Welfare
Critical communications were sent at inappropriate hours (including an email at 5:55 AM), reinforcing the impression that the priority was to expedite billing rather than to secure a fair and well‑considered outcome for the client.

5. Professional Inconsistency and Hostile Conduct
After informing me she would be unavailable for several days, she reappeared only after I expressed my intention to terminate her services.
Following this, I received an aggressive email at 9:00 PM containing threats and an unprofessional tone. This behaviour is incompatible with the standards expected of a legal professional.

6. Lack of Technical Support During a Critical Moment
Despite my exhaustion and the pressure exerted by the opposing party, I did not receive clarification, protection, or guidance. Instead, I was subjected to repeated pressure to sign immediately, framed around negative financial consequences.

Conclusion
Throughout the process, I felt neither supported nor represented. It became clear that the priority was securing payment of fees rather than defending my rights after the difficulties I had experienced in my employment.
The service provided was transactional, lacking the professional rigor, independence, and empathy that a client should reasonably expect.

I request that this complaint be formally recorded and that an internal review of the handling of my case be initiated without delay.

Sincerely,
Fred Méndez

Exceptional company. Salma has made this whole process so easy with great advice and guidance coupled with attention to detail and super speed response to my emails. I have to say that even the AI side of the business was unbelievably reliable and knowledgeable they honestly made my whole situation easy to navigate and conclude.
Thankyou Salma for all your hard work and personal touch.

Simrath from Monaco Solicitors guided me through an employment dispute over several months. She was knowledgeable, clear in her communication, and kept me well informed throughout. She handled the matter with professionalism and I was happy with the outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Quick professional response and prompt actions taken with my request.

It was very efficient and professional which was all I could ask for. Helped me resolve my problem.

Very quick to respond to initial query, very concise answers to all questions. From start to finish it was a great service. Helen went above and beyond for me.

Sasha Van Wyk was very helpful and guided me through the procedure of getting the money owed by my employer to me. Managed to settle at ACAS stage with her guidance and my employer folded and paid me every penny it owed me. Thanks Sasha.

Sasha was the most helpful, understanding individual ever. My first time ever using a solicitors and she was always on hand to lend help, answer questions and update me. Finalised things in a positive light thanks to her help, knowledge and support! Thanks you Sasha VW!

Simrath has been a pleasure to work with. It’s been great to leave the professionals to handle the legal matters during an already stressful period.

I’d highly recommend Monaco Solicitors - it’s always worth having legal advice on these instances.

Sarah was great. Made a stressful situation much more manageable. She explained everything very clearly and was very quick and efficient.

I recently used Monaco, and their AI firm - Grapple Law - to help me with a situation. The future is here and I believe Monaco are really leading the way in what justice looks like in this new landscape.

Thank you Grapple Law, thank you Monaco, and thank you Sasha van Wyk for your attentiveness, expertise, and friendliness. I will be recommending Monaco and Sasha to others.
