5* Review for Paul Young

After facing some difficulties at work and looking to gain some legal advice, I contacted Monaco Solicitors. I spoke with Paul Young and he felt that I had a good case. I was regularly kept up to date and if needed, a telephone call was offered should I need to discuss things further to ensure my understanding.

After a lot of hard work from Paul, I received settlements for two claims. I actually referred another person who faced similar issues to myself, who I believe also recieved a settlement.

I really appreciate your support with this Paul - thank you.

A Truly Supportive and Reliable Solicitor

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had a fantastic experience with Monaco Solicitors. Paul was an excellent lawyer – supportive, professional, and always kept me updated throughout the whole process. He explained everything clearly and made me feel reassured at every stage. Thanks to his dedication and hard work, everything was handled smoothly and successfully. I couldn’t have asked for better representation – highly recommend!

Gordon was so supportive throughout the process and provided clear and detailed guidance at every stage, not only this but he was exceptionally kind and considerate of my medical status.

I would not hesitate to recommend Gordon and Monaco Solicitors to anyone needing guidance and comprehensive legal support.

Avoid the Access to Justice service!

I looked up Monaco before starting the process (their Access to Justice service), and the only reviews that listed this were negative. I proceeded anyway given their overall positive rating, but it is now clear why this is the case.
The Monaco team were very quick as responding to the initial request and requesting payment for the service, but this was as proactive as the process got. Once paid and questions have been submit online, an AI-Generated letter is produced that the Monaco team will then review and send as required. In this initial instance I waited two weeks from payment being made before the team reviewed my letter - this is in despite of E-mail follow-ups and phone calls being made. None of the team replied.

When the letter was eventually sent, there were no follow-ups thereafter (even after the time duration stated in the letter for a response had expired). This again needed further chasing on my part for Monaco to simply request an update from the recipient of the letter.

At this point I asked Monaco to cease with my case as there was no proactive steps being taken, and I did not at any time receive any follow-ups to my E-Mail or phone call requests. I subsequently moved to a different firm as I needed actions taken that were simply not being delivered.

I then enquired to Monaco about a refund of the substantial fee paid. I finally received a response, but this was to say that no refund would be given. I have paid near £500 for an AI-generated letter, and one follow-up.

Having requested further actions to resolve this from Monaco now over 1 week ago, I have yet to receive any further reply.

Whilst the Trustpilot reviews do suggest that Monaco are good firm, and this may be the case for their main legal service offering, I have not had any positive experience, proactive, or indeed any noteworthy action from the Access to Justice service, with a refund (or partial, as I have said I am happy to negotiate on this) being ignored.

Please do not be lured in by the fast response and promise of service delivery regarding Access to Justice, as this simply isn't the case.

Superb

Superb, responsive, time sensitive support throughout a stressful employment situation from Sundeep Bhatia at Monaco.

Effective, grounded counsel led to the right outcome for me.

Highly recommended!!!

Brilliant experience and support

I first contacted another firm before Monaco Solicitors and had a poor experience that wasted valuable time during a critical case.

From the start, Monaco handled things quickly and with real urgency. I appreciated the clear written summary they sent me, which explained the key legal points in detail.

I was fortunate to work with Paul, who gave his time generously and supported me through a very difficult situation. His advice and commitment were crucial to the brilliant outcome of my case.

My experience with Paul and Monaco Solicitors has been nothing short of excellent, and I would strongly recommend them to anyone seeking legal advice.

Thank you, and please keep up the great work.

Exceptional Support and a Successful Outcome

I’m so grateful to Sarah for guiding me through a difficult process with such care and expertise. She secured the outcome I was hoping for on a no win, no fee basis, and made the whole experience as straightforward as possible. She was friendly, efficient, and genuinely attentive to what I needed — not just legally, but personally. Her knowledge was clear from the outset, and she took great care to explain everything in plain English, making even the most complex legal points easy to understand. I felt supported and well-informed every step of the way. Highly recommended.

Shockingly poor experience

Shockingly poor experience. I contacted Monaco Solicitors for help with a dispute over unpaid notice from my former employer. Based on their excellent initial responsiveness and glowing reviews, I felt confident moving forward. But after paying, the service dropped off a cliff.

I spent hours compiling information for them, only to have an AI-generated letter sent to my employer (over a week after they processed the initial AI draft)—with no meaningful edits and no solicitor’s signature. I wasn’t even told who was handling my case until I found out myself through their AI chatbot.

I then heard nothing for weeks despite chasing by phone and email. Incredibly, I later found out—via the AI bot—that my employer had responded over a week earlier, and no one had told me. After I threatened to escalate to the Legal Ombudsman, I finally got a reply. The solicitor assured me they’d follow up with the employer by phone to try to negotiate a better offer. That never happened. Instead, they simply rejected the offer by email—without my approval or any attempt at negotiation.

When I questioned this, the solicitor then had the audacity to suggest it probably wasn’t worth pursuing any further “due to the value of the case and the prospects of success”—something that was never mentioned before they took my money or encouraged me to reject the offer.

I raised a complaint and they did eventually refund me in full, but the process dragged out my case and made it far more stressful—the exact opposite of what you’d expect when hiring legal support. Avoid.

Exceptional Support During a Difficult Time

I can’t thank Paul enough for the incredible support he gave me during a challenging employment law issue. From the very beginning, he was professional, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable — exactly what I needed when things felt overwhelming.
What truly stood out was Paul’s dedication. Even while he was away, he continued to respond to my emails and offer guidance, going far beyond what I ever expected. That level of commitment and care made a huge difference to me, and I genuinely felt heard and supported throughout the process.
If you’re facing a workplace issue and need someone who will go the extra mile, Paul is the person you want in your corner. Outstanding service and a genuinely kind human being.

Thank you


I honestly can’t thank Malik enough, not only for the outstanding work he has done in securing a better outcome for me, but also for his ongoing support throughout the entire process. Malik has turned what could have been an incredibly stressful time into something much more manageable and calm.

From the very beginning, he listened carefully to my concerns, responded with genuine compassion, and always provided clear, confident, and timely solutions. No question ever felt too small, and his reassurance and regular check-ins made a world of difference.

Malik’s knowledge and expertise were clear at every stage. He explained things in a way that was easy to understand, and I always felt I was in capable, trustworthy hands.

If you’re looking for a lawyer who not only delivers excellent service but also treats you with kindness, respect, and empathy, Malik from Monaco is the person you need.

Thank you, Malik, for everything you’ve done. Your support has meant more than you know.

Exactly who you want in your corner

Paul (Paul Young) represented me during a difficult redundancy process and I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate. He was calm, strategic, and focused on getting the best possible outcome while protecting my long-term interests.

He adapted the tone of our responses as needed - assertive when it mattered, always professional. Paul brings a calm, measured strength to negotiations. I’d work with him again without hesitation.

I have received excellent service from Monaco Solicitors

I have received excellent service from Monaco Solicitors from start to finish. Malik has provided a 1st class service, he is committed to providing a high standard of continual professional support.
Communication was prompt and regular throughout the process and Malik has a genuine customer focused approach, whilst being considerate and supportive throughout what has been a difficult matter. I am so glad that I chose Monaco Solicitors, in particular that Malik was the solicitor appointed to me. Malik was able to achieve a satisfactory result for me in a short time. I wish him all the very best in his career. I would not hesitate in recommending Monaco Solicitors.
