Neal Gozzett

I called Neal when the situation was desperate. That was undoubtedly the best call I have made in my life. Monan Gozzett did nothing less than give us our lives back... We could never have coped and got through things without having Maria and Ms Grey behind us. The absolute relief when the jury returned unanimous verdicts of not guilty on both counts is indescribable. The debt we owe them is incalculable. The value of what they gave us back is priceless. We could have had no idea how things would evolve from one false allegation. Without Maria and Ms Grey behind us, an innocent man could well have gone to prison. Click to read the full testimonial

Having worked with Maria Monan on many recent cases I have always been impressed by the quality of her instructions. She is able to combine an acute appreciation of her client's legal position with a realistic and down to earth approach to the evidential challenges which each case presents. In my experience this is a rare combination and one which will ensure that her clients' best interests are always safeguarded and promoted to maximum effect.

Neal and Rachel have been looking after my case. Both are very knowledgeable and approachable.

They responded to emails and telephone calls quickly and efficiently, have kept me updated throughout and advised on next steps, which has led to a very positive outcome.

Highly recommend.

Neal has now assisted on two occasions. In respect of each case, the advice has been very clear and practical. Each has resulted in a positive outcome.

I would very much recommend Neal.

Neal and his team helped me out massively following false allegations from a previous partner.

The situation was pretty serious with law enforcement involved, overseas family dragged in and my employment at risk, but the MG team calmly and professionally managed to resolve the situation without legal or professional harm being done.

Many thanks Neal and team!

You’re here to check reviews for Monan Gozzett & I’m here to tell you that you’ve found your representatives! Neal Gozzett is the man!

From the very first meeting you are greeted by a down to earth top guy! You literally feel like he’s your mate from the start. In a nutshell, pay peanuts, you’ll get monkeys!

If you need someone to fight for you like they are fighting for themselves, this is your guy! Neal tells you straight, he tells you exactly what don’t want to hear because he’s honest & then he goes in there & does everything in his legal power to avoid those things!

Never having used a legal team before, it’s nothing I expected, there is no leading you along or false promises, you get it all laid out the table & then you get Neal going forth with his professional, cool, calm, clear & precise manner & he will sock it the judges in a way I can only describe as outstanding.

I hope to never have to use a legal team again but if I did there is only one person I’ll call & that’s Neal! His whole team, his secretary’s are all lovely & treat you with respect.

We can’t thank Monan Gozzett enough. Don’t be tempted to hunt for cheaper alternatives, there is a reason for the saying “you get what you pay for!”

Excellent, and very professional service throughout!

I was dealing with a false accusation which was affecting multiple aspects of my life. The Monan Gozzett Team were able to help me out, from the start, through every strep of the process and right the way until they managed to get the case dropped against me.

Their understanding of this kind of law is second to none and they really are a fantastic group to help anyone in a similar situation as I was in- would highly recommend their service to anyone!

When I needed expert advice urgently Monan Gozzett responded quickly and reassuringly.

From my first phone call onwards, I knew I had come to the right place. During the consultation Neal was methodical, analytical, and compassionate. He asked pertinent questions and distilled through detail to the essentials. What had previously appeared troubling was now clearer and resolvable.

I would have no hesitation in coming back to Monan Gozzett.

Very efficient and knowledgeable. Professional, efficient and organised. Returns phone calls promptly. Excellent service. Friendly and helpful. Strongly recommend Neil Gozzett.

More than 4 years ago I became the victim of a false and malicious allegation.
Having never used or needed a Solicitor before, we found ourselves in the position of requiring one and we had no idea where to begin. Unfortunately, as I was innocent of the allegations I initially accepted the duty solicitor, the wrong choice totally. Innocent until proven guilty, no such thing!

It was our son who found Monan Gozzett, and the moment we contacted them hope returned. As a family we would like to thank Neal and his team for their unwavering support, hard work and attention to detail, to give advice, provide re-assurance. Weekends and evenings were never an issue.
The knowledge, dedication and determination to seek justice, is quite simply outstanding. We must also thank Siobhan Grey KC, who was simply amazing in court. Without Neal and Siobhan we would not be able to write this review. On Friday 30th June our nightmare finally ended.

As a family we cannot recommend the Monan Gozzett team highly enough, they were quite simply outstanding. We would recommend them to anyone.

Neil Gozzett, is quite simply, a Legal phenomenon. If you are ever in the hateful and traumatising position, ( or a loved one is ) of false allegations being directed at you, Call Neil Gozzett... The Caped Crusader, battling evil to protect the good! He is bound by something more than Justice, as he invests in you from the very first "Hello!". The reviews on this site, all declare their sincere thanks and eternal gratitude to Neil, and his team, for an incredible and superior service...I echo and concur.

I just had to write this review, to add, (to an already long line of devoted Fans) that myself and My family, felt utterly blessed from the very first minute we made that call to Neal, and want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for powerfully demonstrating the falsification of the allegations, and for the lightening speed in which you achieved the case being dropped, ...truly remarkable!!
Finally, and perhaps the most significant point, you were able to prevent us from enduring this terrible violation (that caused the most unbelievable mental anguish) for one minute more than we had to.

I am an experienced person involved in sport as a referee - my world came crashing down when i was arrested out of no where for a false allegation of rape, the shock, upset and distressed being taken away, locked up in a cell and interviewed for something i did not do was degrading and i was scared. To be falsely accused of abuse when you're a child abuse victim yourself is heart-breaking.

I was desperate and reached out to Neal for help - Neal and Rachel have assisted me to get these vile and distressing allegations dropped before it got to CPS which had saved me more unwelcome distress and upset - which has been very acute and difficult given that i have poor mental health anyway and am vulnerable . They have also provided emotional support, every step of the way, at what has been a difficult and challenging time and i would recommend that anyone - who finds them selves, in this distressing situation that there is help out there and would recommend that they seek help to get matters resolved. The fact they believed in my innocent proved a shinning light of hope and helped having people believe in your innocence. I hope to rebuild my career and do what i enjoy now. Thankyou for everything - it means a lot for the bottom of my heart

I cannot praise the team at MG highly enough.
From my initial contact I felt reassured by the personable professionalism of every member of the team that I engaged with.
Despite many months of uncertainty and dark times for members of my family, Louise and Neal were always on hand to help, guide and bring balance and assurance in their work; involving lengthy and often frustrating processes.
My gratitude to Louise and Neal is immeasurable and has truly made life and the future look hopeful once again.
I cannot recommend their services highly enough. Quite simply outstanding.

Neal, I just wanted to drop you a message to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for getting Josh through his horrendous nightmare of a year. There are not enough “thanks you’s” in the world to thank you.

The stress Josh has had to endure through his exes lies and through his previous solicitor has given me few grey hairs for sure. If only we found you from the start. Not ever having to go through anything like this before, we had no idea.

Your communication and advice has been fantastic and the outcome for Josh, well if you could have seen how emotional Josh was once he new outcome, your service has been worth every penny spent.

My brother said everyone’s life is mapped out for them, I truly believe Josh’s was. The last date was adjourned because of the queens funeral, no one would have predicted the Queen passing, but this triggered Josh to realise the service he was getting, silence, no communication, from his previous solicitor was not on and he found you. Your constant communication and your teams communication with Josh helped greatly his state of mind.

Thank you again Neal from the bottom of my heart. Josh and us can now get back to leading a normal life.

Can I say a huge thank you Louise, to both yourself and to Neal, for your support and direction in this matter.
I know it is your job, career and profession but both your approaches were of care and consideration, that was tactful and considerate to the level of stress I was feeling at that time.

After a random call from child services, stating there had been a historic allegation against my partner, by his ex partners daughter who he hadn’t seen for three years, he was to not collect his daughter for access as planned and await a call from the police. As a professional he couldn’t work and frustratingly no one would return our calls, the best we got was ‘if the police arrest you then call us and we might be able to attend’. Three weeks of dark followed with Google research compounding our fears until we stumbled across Neal's firm. They contacted us straight away and within two days had found out the ‘allegation’, which agencies were involved and had the police step down putting us firmly in the ‘lucky’ camp. It was still a long, drawn out and bewildering process that would have taken far more of an emotional toll without Neal’s help. They took so much of the pressure and fear off, personable, supportive, efficient and professional at every turn. No legal representation is cheap, but you really get what you pay for and they were sensitive to our financial situation to ease the load further. If you are unlucky enough to find yourself in this situation or similar and it seems that anyone can, get Neal on board as soon as possible … its essential and we cannot thank him and his team enough for giving us our lives and his daughter back!

I chose Monan Gozzett purely off the reviews. From start to finish Neal and Joanne were so professional, kept us to date and so reassuring. With the positive outcome we had I would highly recommend them.

Firstly, I wanted to thank you for all your support throughout these two horrible years of waiting and not knowing. I have to say hand on heart I am not sure I would have got through all of this without your support and kind words, you do not know how much this has meant to me.

Once again a big thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you did and your belief, it means the world to us and the family.

From start to finish, my experience with Monan Gozzett solicitors was excellent. They are so reassuring and there is zero judgment. The whole process is completely personalised and their calming manner always puts you at ease, no matter how stressed or worried you might be in uncertain times.

Neal is a very genuine person who cares a lot about not only the case, but also about you as a person. I’m very grateful for how he reassured me and was consistently straight up about everything - I was always in the loop. Melissa was fantastic at very short notice, dealing with things professionally and she really helped me to make the right decisions at every step.

Thank you to everyone who helped me through this process and no one should hesitate to contact them if you’re in need. You’ll be in good hands.

When a false accusation is made, the first reaction is utter shock and disbelief. We were really lucky and took expert advice early and from the moment Neal took over, things started to make sense, we felt like we had someone in our corner, and that there might be a way through.
Neal held our hands through what would have been a nightmare experience and we are well aware that his excellent advice, advocacy, and skill meant that what the worst of the impact was mitigated.

In the end, this meant what could have been years was actually sorted in a matter of months, meaning we could walk away and start to breathe again. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Neal in what was the most frightening and bewildering time in our entire lives. We will be eternally grateful. 

Finding myself arrested and falsely accused of assault came as a complete shock. The duty solicitor available to represent me at the police station that night did nothing to allay my very real fears that this matter might drag on into a Court case, and if the Police would prosecute such an allegation perhaps the Court might convict on it too? This was probably one of the most stressful periods of my life as the repercussions of a conviction would have devastating consequences on my career, livelihood and family.
I was fortunate to find Monan Gozzett in my search for a specialist in this field and from my first contact with them I felt tremendously reassured by their calm professionalism. It was a source of great relief to know that they had the expertise and experience to deal with just this sort of situation.
Maria understood the situation and made strong representations to the Police to enable my voice to be heard. Her strategy prevented any Court action and ultimately led to a swift and efficient conclusion to the matter. I could not have been in safer hands and I would not hesitate to recommend Maria to anyone in a similar situation.

Maria's immediate response to my initial email sent in the early hours with a phone call at 9.00 am that morning started the process of my defence with dynamic lines of action.

Every meeting or phone call, was always full of professionalism and understanding for the issues I was facing.

My choice of Magistrate or Crown Court were meticulously explained and the implications given for each. Mellissa was also the perfect reassuring anchor, always keeping me informed, enabling me to keep myself grounded. Even when the first trial date was postponed, Neal’s attitude was always positive and continued to raise my spirits.

In court, counsel held the jury’s attention and everyone else in court, with strategic arguments being so well presented. With touches of irony, crucial points made perfectly, especially when questioning the witnesses and in counsel’s closing speech made a simple understandable narrative for the jury.

You phoned me immediately once the unanimous 'not guilty' verdict had been returned to share my relief and always went above and beyond with your concern for my welfare, especially when dealing with family allegations.

Once again my sincere thanks to you all and all the very best for a continuing successful practice.

"Thanks again to everyone in your outstanding team who have given such excellent service in navigating me through such a difficult time. I wish you all the best for the future in your good work protecting people who find themselves in similar circumstances."

"I could not have been happier with the service I received from Neal and the team at Monan Gozzett. When I initially found out I had been falsely accused I had a mixture or emotions, mainly fear, Neal demonstrated his wealth of experience and excellent people skills putting me right at ease. Neal was always available to support me throughout the process and I always took comfort in the fact that whatever happened next Neal would know what to do in order to protect me and my future.

Highly recommend this fantastic firm and should I need a solicitor again I know where to go"

The last 3 weeks have been the worst time for my family. I got a call out of the blue by the police that there was a serious historic sexual allegation made against me going back 32 years. I was shocked and my world just caved in. Friends told me that I needed a solicitor for the voluntary interview. I was apprehensive about having a duty solicitor and hence googled and found Monan Gozzett. It was very clear that they specialized in this area and hence I contacted them on Sunday morning. Within an hour I was contacted by the firm and spoke to Neal thereafter.

What followed was incredible. Neal just calmed me down, pushed back the Interview date and started working with me as we now had time to do things properly. This led to do the right thing at the interview and the closure of the investigation by the police thereafter. I cannot thank Neal enough and my family and I are forever indebted to Neal for being on our side during these very difficult and stressful times. I have no hesitation in saying that should you ever face this type of situation do not hesitate to contact Monan Gozzett.

The client focused, empathetic and supportive service that we received from Neal Gozzett can only be be described as outstanding. When faced with uncertain and stressful times you can be rest assured that Neal provides expert knowledge, support and a beam of hope when you're feeling the hopelessness and disastrous impact that false allegations have. Neal didn't just support us, guide us and give us hope, he saved our lives, our families and preserved our characters. I would recommend Neal to anyone who is facing false allegations against them, he won't steer you wrong.

Nadine Radford KC

I have known Maria Monan as a solicitor for over 10 years. Maria has amazing skills in client care. She provides warm, measured advice that is always well informed and up to date. Any client knows that they can rely on her advice when making the major decisions they are called upon to decide. Maria has a constant eye to detail and knows every inch of her cases. I have had the pleasure of being instructed by Maria on some very serious cases and in each and every instance it has been a pleasure to work with her. I would have no hesitation in recommending her as an outstanding solicitor.

Our son was original represented by the local duty solicitor and was extremely negative about the potential outcome of case. The solicitor suggested a guilty plea. His words were "I'd sooner be prosecuting than defending this case".

Following my own research I contacted a firm in London, who redirected the case to their Sussex office and was recommended Neal Gozzett. He was the first and continuous point of contact; he was immediately empathetic and advised that the advice we had been given by the duty solicitor, was extremely poor. He was very easy to talk to and grasped the situation straight away and took positive action on the case.

We had several meetings locally and at Neal's offices and he was very positive and supportive. We felt confident and reassured by Neal's handling of our case due to his demeanour and advice.

I will certainly be recommending Neal to any friends/family or colleague with any legal queries.

Thank you for all of your work in this case, it was much appreciated and your advice to my family representation was excellent and most helpful.

Just wanted to say thank you for all your help and extra attention which delivered the best possible result. Your work after hours, instant support and sensitive handling of the case was all very much appreciated. The advice you gave us combined with your considered and experienced approach to his case made all the difference. We were so relieved that this didn't drag on into court or even result in a caution. Thank you so much for everything.

Mr Gozzett dealt with a very serious allegation to which I was falsely accused, I was remanded into custody and was struggling to see the light. Neal visited me weekly and gave me hope that the case was going to be resolved swiftly. Neal has always been punctual and very much on point within all areas he covered, every time I required his professional assistance. He is tenacious and assertive, he never lets a stone go unturned while he carried out his duty, within my case. I would not of trusted anyone else with this case.

His selection of team was always impeccable and suited each time I required his legal assistance.

I would highly recommend his service,I thank him for his help and without it, my life could have been very much different.

Having found myself in trouble with the law, In a totally alien situation. I needed to find a solicitor. My first solicitor was completely incompetent, he also found an equally incompetent barrister. Both compounded my problem making it incredibly stressful for both my wife and myself. A friend recommended Neal. My wife rang Neal and straight away we knew we had contacted the right person. My wife came off the phone with clarity and confidence that we actually had someone on our side, who could deal with the situation. Neal was efficient in every way, dealing with every problem with ease. The barrister, Neal brought to us , was another great confident man, who, when we met gave great confidence to us. Consequently they won my case. I would strongly recommend Neal to anyone, as his strength, confidence and sheer professional ability shine through even from the first contact. Both Julie and myself wish you a wonderful Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

Thank you for being so brilliant with our son. You spoke with him with regard to his intelligence and his vulnerabilities, being strong and tough when needed, so he could actually listen / hear you, at a time when he really needed it.

Your advice was excellent and the course of action obviously just right in the circumstances - impressive in every way.

Thank you for all your help over the past 18 months and it goes without saying I am delighted with the outcome.

Thank you for all of your help and extra attention which delivered the best possible result for our son. Your work after hours, instant support and sensitive handling of the case with our son was all very much appreciated. The advice you gave us, combined with your considered and experienced approach to his case made all the difference. We were so relieved that this didn’t drag on into court - or even result in a conviction! Thank you so much for everything.

My partner's ex-wife had been telling members of our small community that he had abused his children. Being falsely accused is a painful experience for the whole family. As soon as we contacted Neal, he was in regular contact with us: we knew that he was just a phone call away. Neal is easy to talk with, respectful and supportive. He was also sympathetic to our financial constraints and worked with us to find a solution. Since contacting Neal, the police have spoken with my partner's ex-wife, informally warning her.

With a potentially career ending charge against me, I needed a solicitor who I could trust. Neal was recommended to me through local contacts and despite the 100 mile distance, after our first conversation I knew that I had a person firmly at my side. I immediately experienced Neal as being highly professional, focused and driven to get the outcome I so very much needed. Neal's hard work, and going over and above what I ever expected secured a dismissal of charges at court and I only regret that I hadn't had Neal's number when initially arrested and retained in custody over-night. I can't thank Neal enough for all his hard work. Not only have I avoided a criminal record but I have also retained my career, thank-you!

Neal's firm have been an unstoppable force of results! I had huge stress surrounding a drink driving offence, where two previous solicitors had been completely lack lustre. I approached Neals firm after hearing from a family friend that they, "went above and beyond the call of duty!". They did not disappoint. Due to complications in my private life matters were dealt with both professionally and impeccably and there is now no other law firm I would trust.

It has been a pleasure to do business with Neal. While representing me he gave me regular updates both by phone and email. His non stuffy, no nonsense approach has been most effective. He got the job done within time and is refunding money I still had on account. I recommend Neal and Monan Gozzett wholeheartedly.

We contacted Neal following a claim of sexual harassment made against our son at school - he was friendly, approachable and very willing to help, and his advice proved very helpful in allowing us to speak with the school in an informed manner.

His help at a difficult time made things a great deal easier.

I would like to share my experience with Neal Gozzett. It is the first time that I have needed a lawyer for false accusations, therefore I was scared of not making the right decision, but I have to say Neal certainly was one of the best. Neal has been a fantastic support throughout all matters and I found him very professional. He has always done what he says will do and there was never a need to chase him up on anything. Thanks to Neal our end result was great as he managed to get the case dismissed without having to go to court. A huge relief thanks to Neal. I would highly recommend Neal. An amazing lawyer who gets amazing results.

We would like to thank Neal for all of his support and hard work during the difficult time that we went through as a family, over an allegation made against our 15 year old son of sexual assault. Neal got the case NFA'd before any possible court action, which was a massive relief to us all. It was great to know that Neal supported us as a family every step of the way throughout this difficult time, and the advice he gave through many telephone conversations and face to face meeting was very reliable and professional. We will always be eternally grateful for his support and would definitely recommend Neal and his team. Thank you.

Dear Neal, I want to say big thank you! I am so grateful and happy for all your help. The situation made me feel extremely upset but from the first time talking to you, I found myself feeling more positive and confident and had no doubt you could help me. I appreciate all your time working on my case and achieving the best outcome. Thank you so much!

I wasn't even aware these allegations had been made and recorded on NICHE by South Wales Police. These false allegations had a direct impact on my career and livelihood. I spent a whole year trying to clear my name through the Police and Data Protection system. I was passed from pillar to post by the system to no avail. I then contacted several law firms via Google search. Many of whom could not help and some did not even bother to reply to my query. Neal Gozzett replied and gave me some hope to be able to fight these false allegations. We discussed my case and Neal thoroughly examined all the evidence I had gathered.

He liaised with his team and advised me of his recommended plan of action. Neal was always considerate and empathetic of my circumstances. Most importantly Neal gave me confidence to expect a positive outcome. Now my career is back on track following two years of struggle as a result of the false allegations. All thanks to Neal and his team. I am using Monan Gozzett Solicitors to represent me in my Matrimonial Case. I would definitely choose Monan Gozzett Solicitors to represent me and you.

Hi Neal, I would like to take this opportunity for me to thank you for your help. Having received a phone call completely out of the blue from a detective on a Friday afternoon and being informed of a sexual allegation against myself, regarding my own daughter, my whole world was turned upside down! I was informed to attend a voluntary interview at the police station on Monday morning. Everyone I spoke to advised me to seek professional legal assistance.

I called numerous emergency solicitors in the vain hope of having some support for first thing on Monday morning! Neal phoned me at 10.30pm on Friday night!!! From that moment onwards, his ability to calm my nerves and transform a monstrous negative situation, into a real world scenario was second to none. His proactive approach kept me focused! His empathy and professionalism kept me sane. Without a doubt, I am truly grateful. Neal was by my side the whole time, at the end of the phone whenever I called. I could not of wished for anymore support. Not guilty. No further action. Case closed. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to you and your team.

I am beyond happy with my experience with Neal and his team. They were all incredible and the result I received was beyond what I could have expected. I was truly overwhelmed by the outcome and the sheer will power and talent that Neal and his team seem to radiate. Neal went above and beyond normal expectations and managed to dig up every relevant case to use in the proceedings. He was truly amazing, he made me feel at ease and explained every part of the process so well I didn’t once feel under prepared or on my own. It was a pleasure to have someone like him looking out for my best interest. I would recommend his company to anyone dealing with an impossible task as he will find a way! Many thanks to Neal and every member of his team.

I was falsely accused of a serious allegation by a family member. I was unsure what to do or who to call. I managed to find Neal's details across the internet. After speaking with him it was obvious he was very experienced dealing with these types of cases.

Neal found flaws in the allegation and started work on these immediately. The case was prolonged over a 12month period due to staff absences within the Police force.

Neal continued to put pressure on the Police to make sure this case was resolved ASAP. He made it clear his intention was to have this case dropped and not for it to progress to the CPS as it would cost me a lot more money and time.

Neal had the case dropped, allowing me to move forward in my life.

He's courteous, professional, experienced and straight to the point. You pay for what you get and I’m truly grateful I chose Neal to represent me.

A false allegation of harassment by an ex-partner left me feeling worried and completely out of my depth, in understanding the legal system and where to turn. A search on Google introduced me to Neal Gozzett of Monan Gozzett solicitors. Neal immediately reassured me with his knowledge and also confidence on how to proceed and taking control of the situation by taking immediate action. Nothing was ever sugar coated, but I felt I had someone on my side who was fighting with me to ensure the outcome was favourable, which in the end it was due to his excellent advice and action he took. I would thoroughly recommend Neal Gozzett if you ever find yourself in the unfortunate situation of being subject to a false allegation, his skills and support throughout the process were excellent.

Sometimes the slightest things alter the pathway of our lives, the merest breath of a circumstance, a random moment that connects like a meteorite striking the earth. Lives swivelled, changing direction on the strength of a false allegation.

This was to be this direction my partner and I experienced far back in May 2018, when evil and chance made haste in inflicting torment and uncertainty into our once normal and tranquil existence, by an individual act of false witness against myself.

By the grace of god my partner found Neal Gozzett, and his firm, (as one suitable in our home town was absent) he alone has restored our positive foresight of the future after 13 months, with his empathy, diligence, appropriate humour and ultimately the skill and command he has in dealing with this horrendous voyage of anguish, being accused of historical sexual abuse, Neal Gozzett was at our side all the way, with emotional and practical support. He, with the aid of his PA both with the knowledge in dealing directly with this kind of malicious circumstance, enabled him to legally question, analyse and reproach the actions during the investigations, leading to us now taking further advice from Neal Gozzett moving forward.

His attention to detail, aptitude and powerful stance has proven him to be a legal force, when representing a client, gaining mutual trust between he and them, so that they form a professional understanding of each other. Now we have finally come to a bright horizon in our journey, it is time to rebuild for better and stronger, with eyes wider, proven innocence and that good overpowers evil. With the aid of Neal Gozzett and his firm, our future and lives have been saved.

Allegations were made against me. I then contacted and met with Neal Gozzett of Monan Gozzett solicitors. In the initial meeting I summarised the matter in full with Neal, he then provided comprehensive advice on the matter putting my mind at rest. Based on the meeting I then decided to engage Neal to progress the matter on my behalf. Neal initiated the process by contacting the officer in charge and submitting a set of structured questions, also advising the OIC that Monan Gozzett will be submitting representations on my behalf.

This action is so key at this point in order to stand a chance of an early NFA decision. A couple of weeks later Neal received a phone call from the officer in charge, stating that no further action will be taken, matter closed. Neal then contacted me and delivered the good news, I was so pleased, I can't thank Neal and his team enough. I would like to emphasise the regular updates I received from Neal throughout the whole process. He phoned me, WhatsApp'd me, and accepted my phone calls early evening. Generally, you will not be able to speak with a solicitor after 4:30/5:00 pm. Yet at gone 6pm on some evenings Neal was quite happy to discuss matters with me. Neal, thank you sir, I’m over the moon. I would highly recommend Neal Gozzett of Monan Gozzett solicitors if you are facing a false allegation of any kind.

Being faced with a false allegation of assault left me feeling vulnerable and extremely worried for the future of my career and reputation. My first solicitor had a very laid back approach which left me feeling uneasy. Thankfully, my mother did some research and found Neal. His empathy, understanding and support from the very first telephone conference was a great comfort; this together with his proactive approach to investigation, his attention to detail, his fastidious preparation and his recommendation of expert counsel secured an acquittal. He made sure that I felt continuously supported with regular contact and updates. I would not hesitate for a second in recommending Neal to anybody that finds themselves in a similar situation. I have my life back!

We both, my mother and myself, are very grateful to Neal and the rest of the team for your assistance in this difficult time of my mother's life. Neal’s performance was outstanding on the day of the court hearing. We got the best possible result in given circumstances.

I needed advice and help on a concern. I found Neal very knowledgeable and experienced. My concern was addressed and resolved in a short period of time. It was also important for me that I paid a reasonable fee and no time was wasted or extended.

Selwyn Shapiro

Neal is a great Solicitor and is very popular with his clients. He is very thorough, attentive and diligent and he always works and fights very hard for them. He is very approachable, is an excellent "jargon buster" and clients are always comforted that he is on their side and no one else's. I have known him for his entire career and I recommend him without hesitation.

Jazz Omari

Neal was my instructing solicitor for many criminal cases. He analysed both the legal and factual issues of each case astutely and was adept at formulating sound defence strategies. From Counsel's perspective, Neal was always an ideal instructing solicitor, sending well-prepared papers in good time before trial, with clear and intelligent instructions, and was always available to discuss the case before the hearing.

He always diligently followed up on action points in Counsel's advice, thus ensuring a smooth trial. On a personal level he is respectful and affable to Counsel, the Court and clients alike and is sensitive to the impact of criminal proceedings on each individual client's situation, regardless of whether or not it is their first time experience in the criminal justice system. Overall, he was an absolute pleasure to work with.

When a policeman phones out of the blue and says, "It's nothing to worry about if you have done nothing wrong", after telling you someone has accused you of something you know you have not done, then it is something you need to act on quickly. But what do you do?

Not knowing or having a "family lawyer" to hand, a search of the internet led me to the Monan Gozzett website. The website appeared very sympathetic and explained that my situation was not unique and part of a growing trend.

However, that did not quell the immediate emotional turmoil such an allegation creates. After a nervous call to the 24 hour phone number, despite it being a weekend, it was answered very sympathetically by the team on call. Within a few days, I'd had a phone call with Neal who suggested a very robust plan of action which would give the initiative to myself and provide time to prepare.
Again this was sympathetically dealt with and as Neal said "Let us do the worrying" which gave me a great sense of confidence particularly as this was his legal area of expertise. This would not necessarily be available with another firm of solicitors picked at random who would not have put in the preparation time or have the necessary expertise.

Neal was always updating me and keeping me informed of developments throughout. I am very grateful to Neal and his team for resolving my situation to a swift conclusion and supporting me through a very stressful period on top of a year that has been awful for a lot of people. I would highly recommend his pro-active, sympathetic approach, and his expertise in an area of the law that is emotionally draining and bewildering to be suddenly involved in. All the very best, Neal and thank you.

A few months ago my life entered a world it never thought possible, a false sexual abuse allegation was made by the mother of my daughter. At first, my thinking was that I am completely innocent, so why do I need a solicitor, so I postponed calling one. However, as time went on with no further knowledge of the accusations, the stress and anxiety continued to mount to unbearable levels. My partner came across Neal by reading the testimonials on the Monan Gozzett website, it was evident by these that he had experience of dealing with false allegations. Don’t wait thinking these things will just sort themselves out, on contacting Neal he immediately gave us immense reassurance, support, and advice that we so desperately needed, his expertise brought swift closure on the abuse allegation. But as with matters like these, the ramifications go beyond initial closure, again Neal was on hand to support and guide us through this period. I can’t thank Neal and the Monan Gozzett team enough for the professionalism and the empathy they have shown during this traumatic time and I wholeheartedly recommend Monan Gozzett and their excellent service.

Dear Neal

Firstly, thank you very much for the excellent service we received from you and your staff.

Although I knew it was a false and malicious allegation, you always gave me confidence I would get the right result.

Neal and Louise assisted me with preparing a safeguarding package after my ex-girlfriend started making threats and false allegations. Neal was very thorough with detailing the various options available to me and instantly put me at ease. I could tell that he was on my side. Louise was very detailed and efficient in putting together the work. They both helped tremendously in assisting me with navigating a very difficult time.

I instructed MGS Solicitors in a matter that was particularly important and was extremely impressed with their professional, friendly and rapid response. Within 2 hours I was being assisted by Stephanie (who was absolutely fantastic) and I had spoken to Neal who had also been excellent, reassuring and happy to help with any questions!

Would definitely recommend using MGS to anyone as they are excellent.

I was subject to a false and malicious allegation. Reading reviews of Monan Gozzett encouraged me to seek advice. Neal Gozzett is exemplary and has been hugely beneficial to me. He has guided me every step while I sought to clear my name. When you find out an allegation has been made against you, it is easy to think about the worst case scenario and feel you will not be believed in your innocence, whereas Neal Gozzett transforms your beliefs and gives you the confidence you need to fight your corner. Couldn't of done this without this fantastic firm.

I chose Monan Gozzett purely off the reviews. From start to finish Neal and Joanne were so professional, kept us to date and so reassuring. With the positive outcome we had I would highly recommend them.

Neal Gozzett and his team are truly professional in their work. They understand your situation and are quick to empathize and offer advice. I had a unique situation and they were accommodating throughout. Neal went above and beyond to ensure my situation was handled. It's extremely obvious to me he and his team fully care about their clients as people.

Cannot fully express the depth of gratitude for Neal and his team helping us through some very dark and anxious days of dealing with the intimidating impact of false allegations. Neal provided calm, professional, timely and compassionate help at all times to secure a just outcome. Beyond thankful.

I found Monan Gozzett after two adjourned trials after initially being represented elsewhere. Straight from the initial consultation with Neal I realized I was in very good hands, someone who genuinely cared and who knew what they were doing. The reassurance and professionalism Neal dedicated to me is overwhelming and I could not be any more thankful if I tried. Even though I came to Neal with very little time to spare he managed to get my charges acquitted all whilst keeping the stress of court to a minimal. The communication was next to none, even after the trial the welfare of myself & my family was still checked on. An extremely distressing time of my life handled with complete care & commitment, Couldn’t recommend Neal enough! Again, thank you so much.

I came across Mr Neal Gozzett about twenty months ago when I was arrested by police for false rape allegations, sexual assault and control & coercive behaviour brought forward by my wife. I was quite new into this country and had absolute zero idea about how the law works, this is a nightmare of stress to deal with when you are falsely accused of such heinous accusations especially by someone that you had so dearly loved and you decide to fight rather than giving up on the rotten system, I had not been more blessed to come across Mr Neal Gozzett, from the very first conversation he had been onto the case, He is smart, intelligent and a very experienced lawyer. His professionalism is what struck me, he is calm and composed, left no stone unturned and went above and beyond to get the justice I deserved, I had a sigh of relief once talking to him, I felt instantly I was in safe hands. Everyone in the team are at their best, Joanne Coller & Samuel, fantastic geniuses. Couldn't be more prouder to come across Mr Neal Gozzett and his team.

I am located overseas. I had dealings with Neal Gozzett. He understood my situation and thanks to his experience and expertise, I was able to get the result I needed. His service is friendly and very efficient. All at Monan Gozzett were extremely courteous and communicated clearly and punctually. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer in this particular sphere.
