Good lawyer but some elements were rushed and some mistakes were made

Very professional and good quality advice received. Very professional letters written as part of the divorce. My only concern has been that two proposals were sent to the other lawyer incorrectly and some elements were missed on the final form E, which very nearly caused me a problem when it came to court. Also had to chase up matters on occasions and communication could have been better in places. But the quality of the legal advice was good.

Excellent support and advice

Hayley has been the most wonderful and supportive solicitor I could have asked for during a very stressful process. Not only has Hayley gone above and beyond to ensure my matter was dealt with promptly and correctly, but she has also gone out of her way to provide me with comfort and reassurance when needed. During the period of time which Hayley has represented me, I have been heavily pregnant. Throughout this period Hayley has made sure that my welfare has been continually addressed throughout every step of the process, and ensured all of my needs have been met, including location, times, and meetings adapted to meet any of my needs. The gratitude I have towards Hayley, and the way in which she has represented me throughout this time, I am unable to put into words.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Conveyancing Service – Highly Recommend Neema Somani I have been a client of Straw & Pearce Solicitors since August 2020, and my experience has been very different depending on the department. For the sale and purchase of my property, I cannot recommend Neema Somani highly enough. From start to finish, Neema provided outstanding service. Her communication was excellent—she always did what she said she would do, kept me updated throughout the process, and never left me wondering what was happening. She was professional, efficient, honest, and straightforward, which made what could have been a very stressful experience much easier. If you are looking for a conveyancing solicitor, Neema is worth every penny. I would happily recommend her to my family and friends. However, my experience with the Children Act and Financial Matters department was very different. In my personal opinion, I did not receive the same level of value or service. If your English is good and you are confident preparing your own documents, I believe you may wish to consider whether paying legal fees in those matters is worthwhile. Overall, I would highly recommend Neema Somani for conveyancing. Her professionalism, communication, and dedication were truly excellent. Thank you for all your hard work.

I have been working with Sarah Greaves at Straw & Pearce for just under a year, and throughout that time she has been absolutely exceptional. I’ve worked with several solicitors in the family sector before, but none have compared to Sarah. I honestly don’t know how she does it, but she makes you feel like you are her only client, despite clearly being incredibly busy helping so many families. She is caring, considerate, and has such a calm and reassuring nature. She always goes above and beyond to make sure you fully understand what is happening and what your options are. I’ve been through some very difficult times during my case, and Sarah has supported me throughout it all. She has always believed in me, stood by me, and shown genuine compassion every step of the way. Sarah is not only an outstanding solicitor, but also a truly lovely and genuine person. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I have dealt with Julie Brown over a family law matter and Emma Sharp over the sale of two houses and have been very pleased with the service from both of them. I have no hesitation in recommending Straw & Pearce.

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 !!

A client

Pramila Meghani was my Solicitor. She was competent however had zero compassion or people skills. I did not feel supported at all. Correspondence sent to me was still with my former surname after the divorce, with no consideration that I had actively changed my name via deed poll to distance myself from the abusive ex. I was told very bluntly that each email I was sending was at a cost. There was little time taken to explain terminology to me, and I felt like a number rather than a person. The whole process was traumatic and anxiety inducing, for what was already a deeply stressful time.The only positive point I have was the barrister Stuart was great. Friendly, kind, and I was confident with his capabilities representing me. Unfortunately the negative outweighs the positive and I felt like a second class citizen due to having the legal aid accepted. Would not recommend, glad its done with now so I don't have to deal with Pramila again.

Good firm to deal with

I now have two conveyances with Jayne and Nicky. Both went smoothly (Land Registry speed excepted) in a very professional manner. Most importantly communication all along the process was superb and excellent attention to detail. This company has been my family and business lawyers for the last 50 or so years and many of their partners have come and gone. I’m pleased to say that Jayne and Nicky have carried on the legacy of great service.

Alan Ridler has supported me, along with a number of my colleagues, over the last 15 months through what has been one of the most challenging periods of my life. As a police officer, there is perhaps nothing more difficult than being accused of lying, particularly after 18 years of serving with what I believe has always been the highest level of integrity and a genuine desire to do the right thing for the greater good of the community. Alan’s support throughout this process has been absolutely vital. Of course, he has provided exemplary legal advice and support, together with a tenacious resolve to represent me and my colleagues properly. But what has stood out to me just as much has been the human element he has brought to the process. I had never been through anything like this before, and from the very beginning I could tell that Alan genuinely cares about the people he works with and supports. That made an enormous difference to me. Having someone I trusted completely to do the right thing by me and my colleagues was incredibly important, and played a significant part in helping me maintain my own mental health throughout what was an extremely difficult time. I believe that your hardest times can sometimes become your greatest gifts, and Alan has been a big part of that for me. What started as an incredibly challenging experience has given me a different perspective on resilience, trust and the importance of having the right people beside you when you need it most. I cannot thank Alan enough for the support, care, professionalism and determination he has shown over the last 15 months. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him to anyone who finds themselves in a similarly difficult position.

Feedback following misconduct investigation support

I cannot speak highly enough of the service that Alan provided me throughout the process of this investigation. He consistently went above and beyond what I expected. The case was extremely complex but Alan coordinated everything expertly and his communication was very professional throughout. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else supporting me during this case and I could not recommend Alan more strongly.

We recently used these solicitors, again, for the sale of another one of our properties. In particular it was handled by Katie Bowler who exceeded our expectations, everything was handled in the most judicious fashion and she always responded promptly and applied the appropriate pressure where required. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending this Firm and Katie in particular.

Katie and her colleagues have provided a 5 star service in conveyancing 3 properties following the death of a close relative. Katie's perseverance was unswerving in the latter stages of completion and notably far better than the buyer's conveyancing solicitor. Rates were very reasonable and I would have no hesitation in both recommending or using Straw & Pearce again.
