Monaco Solicitors

I used Monaco Solicitors to help resolve a employment issue and support the final stages of negotiating a settlement agreement. Garvey was excellent, quickly grasping the nuances of the situation and bringing his professional expertise to ensure a fair and equitable settlement was reached. I fully recommend both Garvey Hanchard and Monoco Solicitors to anyone facing issues with their employers.

I can’t recommend Monaco Solicitors highly enough. I was suffering with bad anxiety during a highly stressful situation at work. I was struggling to get heard in my company and my assessment of the situation was being dismissed as wrong. Aside from my GP and counsellor Chris was the one person who was able to see my assessment of the situation as accurate and who was in a position take action to fight my corner for me. I cannot get across how much his support and validation meant to me at a time when I had been made to believe I was going mad. We often need lawyers most in times of severe emotional distress and Chris is the best lawyer I’ve had in terms of feeling that he was on my side as well as being practical in terms of possible results. The outcome was brilliant and fast! Chris was always available to answer questions quickly and supportively by phone or email even when I was probably just stressing! His fees were very well earned. Thank you!

I worked with Hardeep Kular from Monaco Solicitors. She was very excellent and very quick in her response. She helped to me resolving my case very easily with her advice.

I was going through a difficult and stressful time with my employer and sought the help of Monaco Solicitors when I was provided a Without Prejudice discussion and a Settlement Agreement shortly after. I was given the expertise and professionalism of Dippalli Naik whom found no problem to be too small and promptly answered any and all queries I had when negotiating a Settlement Agreement amount and made sure I was kept down to Earth when looking at what was reasonable and what was not. She even answered my emails over the weekend and made sure that my Agreement went through on time and removing a lot of stress and anxiety from the whole process. I cannot thank Dippalli enough for giving me the dignity and strength to go through with this and helping me feel safe in finding new work. I will most certainly be recommending your services to anybody that needs them!

Garvey was very professional and I would recommend him if anyone needs employment advice 100% a gentleman

I wanted to help a friend who felt forced to resign from her job due to persistent criticism and intimidation. She was too exhausted and demoralised to research her options herself. Monaco Solicitors responded straight away to my enquiry and, without obligation, emailed me a range of information and templates. I passed these to my friend who was then able to make an informed decision on what action to take.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Chris Hogg at Monaco Solicitors, what a very professional service they offer from start to finish. He is easy to work and speak with. He doesn't just tell you what you want to hear, I appreciated his honesty. I was very happy with my decision in choosing Mr. Hogg to represent me in my case. Thank you for believing in me and handling so well this complex situation.

I highly recommend Monaco Solicitors and in particular Dippalli who helped me with a settlement agreement. The service was professional, prompt, informative and hassle free. Thank you so much for making a stressful situation that bit easier.

A huge thank you to Nicola, who in spite of knowing that she would be working for reduced fees still acted with professionalism and respect, and most importantly helped me through the most difficult episode ever in my working life. Her desire to help employees through these horrible times is clear to see. Highly recommended without reservation.

I contacted quite a few solicitors and websites for advice before coming across Monaco Solicitors through their book first of all (an excellent read) and then by contacting Dippalli Naik. Although I had received some good advice here and there from various people, Dippalli really stood out to me; her enthusiasm, energy, and really great advice helped me so much. I was in a very stressful situation at work, and Dippalli felt like my saviour. I feel hugely indebted to her. She was unstinting in her help and advice, and the fixed fee structure felt much more affordable, and with no uncertainties regarding escalating costs. I can't recommend Monaco Solicitors highly enough (the owner for his book, and Dippalli for her advice and professionalism). Thank you!

Had a great experience with Monaco Solicitors and Garvey, he gave sound advice and made sure I understood fully every part of the process.

First class service - great response times and most importantly advice guidance & tactics - from in my case - Dippalli - (even when she was away on holiday or weekends) - this was especially important during a complex and stressful situation - so I really appreciated the great communication - I without hesitation would strongly recommend Dippalli and the wider Monaco team - as they are true and dedicated experts in this area of the law and a team you can rely on to get to the best and most realistic outcome - based on deep experience and savvy, candid advice.

I am very grateful to Garvey as he was very supportive and professional right from the beginning to the end of my case. My case was a Settlement Agreement and he helped me a lot by taking time to listen and explain any little details I didn't understand. I would like to stress on that as I had a quite negative experience with being represented by a union representative before I got in touch with Monaco. And that was a huge difference. I would highly recommend Garvey.

I would like to thank Nicola Welchman, who was an amazing help guiding me through a very anxious time. Always clear headed and affable

This was the first time I have had to use a solicitor and I have been so impressed in what was a very worrying time Nicola made the process stress-free. I will certainly recommend Monaco Solicitors. Thank you.

If you, like me, are looking for the first time in your life for a lawyer to support you with an unpleasant work situation, please do yourself a favour and I strongly recommend do not choose this one! I have chosen this lawyer simply by reading and trusting the reviews on their website – and all I can say is that was the wrong decision. I was very disappointed by the service received by the lawyer I was allocated to Nicola Welchman. From the first correspondence that was to be drafted by my lawyer, there was a delay and promises that were undelivered. I tried to contact her by phone, email but still no reply and I simply could not reach her. In such a stressful situation I was going through in my work life, there was a clear lack of support from my lawyer and all I experience was added stress. She was being frustrated at the questions I ask which I found unprofessional. Several times throughout the process, I had to even involve the manager as I was getting a service that was not worth the money I spent. In a nutshell, having chosen this lawyer was the worst decision I made and the only feeling I got once the case was closed is that it’s all about the money and nothing about the service rendered to the customer. I am taking the time to write this review as I would not wish for anyone to go through what I did. Choosing a lawyer for the first time can be a daunting prospect but choosing a wrong one can make it the worst experience ever. Choose wisely!

I came across Monaco Solicitors when I was looking for a legal advisor to assist with a settlement agreement. I was appointed Dippalli Naik, who proved to be efficient, effective and professional. The matter was resolved promptly and within the allocated budget. I have since bookmarked Monaco as they specialise in legal support for employees and would be my primary choice for similar issues or as a recommendation.

I had the great pleasure of dealing with Monaco solicitors, namely Garvey Hanchard. He made a very stressful situation much easier to deal with. He listened to what I had to say and not once did I have to repeat myself during subsequent conversations. He understood what had happened and advised accordingly, I would definitely recommend these solicitors to resolve employment issues.

I had the pleasure of Hardeep Kaur handling my case at Monaco. Hardeep was fast in her actions and went above and beyond resolving my case swiftly. I would defiantly recommend Using Hardeep and or Monaco if you want pace and resolution into whatever situation you may have.

I got in touch with Monaco in my attempts to resolve a dispute with my employer, and to seek a settlement agreement, as I was being treated very unfairly by my employer. My employer initially agreed to discuss settlement, and then changed their minds. This lead to a very protracted situation, which lasted almost a year, where they continued to treat me poorly, refusing to accept their shortcomings and failings, instead seeking to find ways to encourage me to resign. In this situation, it would have been very easy for me to give up, under the pressure of being encouraged by my employer to believe that I was at fault. Even though there was no sign, or guarantee of a settlement over an 11 month period, my solicitor Nicola continued to encourage and support me, and gave me the huge confidence I need to know that what I believed in and was fighting for was right. Without this, I may well have given up on the case, under the pressure of bullying from my employer. Finally, once my case was escalated up the management chain, my employer accepted that settlement was the only option, their approach to me changed completely, and this was where Nicola came into her own, achieving a better settlement than I was expecting, and concluding events swiftly, and with minimal personal disruption. It is such a relief to be able to rebuild my confidence, and to move on with my life, and I could not have achieved this without Nicola's continuous support and belief.
