Advice around police GM investigation

Marks advice was excellent. This was (as it turns out) quite a simple allegation against me with no foundation in fact. Mark was helpful, understanding and professional . He related his advice to personal experience and it felt as though he gave me time that he quite probably didn’t need to. There was no sense of rushing me. He gave the clear simple advice that I needed and was as reassuring as he could be in the circumstances. I was also impressed with the detailed knowledge he had of the statements and the allegation, he is obviously very capable and had also prepped well.

Out of hours legal representation.

Jaiker Chauhan arrived in a timely manner for my unfortunate event, familiarised himself with the case and advised me on my case, my rights, my options and knowledgeably represented me very professionally. I cannot fault his representation nor can I recommend him enough. The whole process and enquiry was completed in a very timely manner.

I cannot thank Hayley enough for everything she has done for me over the last three years. Not only is she an exceptional solicitor with an outstanding depth of knowledge and expertise, but she has also provided unwavering support throughout what has been one of the most stressful and challenging periods of my life. From the very beginning, Hayley went above and beyond, offering guidance, reassurance, and support whenever it was needed. I genuinely do not believe I would have got through such a lengthy and difficult investigation without her. Despite the complexity of the case and the significant amount of work involved, Hayley achieved the best possible outcome for me. Her dedication, professionalism, and determination were evident every step of the way. If you are looking for a solicitor who truly cares about her clients and is prepared to go the extra mile, I would wholeheartedly recommend Hayley. Words cannot fully express how grateful I am for everything she has done. Thank you again, Hayley your support and hard work have meant more to me than I can say.

First duty solicitors I've had that I felt were working for me and not against me. With the caveat that the limited funding from legal aid means you won't get the same level of defense as a wealthy individual who can pay their own way I still have to respect the dedication of the solicitors from this firm who go above and beyond what most other firms provide.

I am not going say my full story because of confidential reasons but the family law side of straw and Pearce have been excellent even though it’s been a complex case I have had emotional and legal support as a male of domestic abuse it’s hard to get justice with the system always favouring mothers, Jennifer Ellis and her legal team Natasha hollier from the team who has listened to me every step and they have been excellent support , I am writing a review to show my respect and tell other people who are suffering there is a light at the end of the tunnel just keep going! After a year long of trials finally its getting there now . Best in the East Midlands for family law yet to mention the barrister who was amazing in court to fight for you. Truth always triumphs! I would recommend for family law to anyone who is going through a battle as a father or mother.They respond quick and and give you the best advice. They can help even most complex cases . Also the criminal side of the firm is excellent which I had to get help from aswell. Keep helping the people and good work guys !!

I would like to thank the Straw&Pearce Solicitors for their excellent work, dedication, and patience through a very difficult time in my life. To name a few individuals, Hayley and Sarah were very professional, offering support, kindness and understanding throughout my case. (NOTE: Sarah does not work for this company) At first, I was unsure whether I needed a solicitor or not as I felt that I had nothing to hide. However, that is not the case as no matter the situation, I was advised it is always best to take a solicitor or legal advice. In particular, Hayley was there for me from the very start of my interview while in custody, offering me legal advice in which steps I should take while also calming me down. Hayley was able to contact me regularly through a secure email system, updating the progress of the case and giving me the reassurance or guidance. Hayley was able to give me that extra push through the hard times to gather as much evidence in my defence which was needed. Sarah was also fantastic as she explained my account to the court in ways which I would never have been able to do myself. I felt that however busy they were, they always lent a sympathetic ear which was very much appreciated. Majority of people will never find themselves battling a court case against them which I thought I wouldn’t have to go through. Overall, it was a well earnt successful result with the hard work from everyone which I cannot thank them enough. I would highly recommend Straw&Pearce Solicitors and taking their legal advice if you ever find yourself in police custody.

Absolutely outstanding work from Straw and Pearce, especially to Katie our solicitor. She was incredible, we were completed within 9 weeks of our offer being accepted. Amazing response times, always there when you needed advice or questions to be answered, pushed our sale through as fast as she possibly could. I cannot speak highly enough of Katie and all the work she does, it’s all thanks to her we’re in our beautiful home. Thank you! Mia & Josh

Neema and Katie did the conveyancing work for my first property and were OUTSTANDING throughout. They were thrown a lot of curveballs from external sources and every time dealt with them in the most professional way possible, whilst always keeping me in the loop. FANTASTIC solicitors. I couldn't recommend them enough!
