About this score
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

Conveyancing Sale and Purchase
Emma and Katie were brilliant in my sale and purchase. They were on the ball, easy to get hold of, and kept me updated throughout the whole process - I'd definitely recommend them. Thanks for all your help!

Excellent conveyancing service
My conveyancing matter was handled by Katie - she dealt with matters promptly, chasing the solicitors from the other party, and gave regular updates on where I was at in the process. It was such a difference to my last experience of conveyancing with another firm - thank you so much!

A Seamless Experience with Straw & Pearce. Professional, supportive, and would highly recommend.
A huge thank you to the team at Straw & Pearce for their professionalism and support during the sale of our mum's property. Their clear guidance and prompt communication made a potentially stressful process remarkably smooth for our family. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services to anyone in the future.

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

Had a great experience using Straw and Pearce to sell a property and purchase another. Emma Sharp handled my case and was always a pleasure to work with, she helped explain parts of the process I didn’t fully understand and was always quick to come back to me throughout the whole process. I would definitely use them again, and would recommend them confidently to others.

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.

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!
