When I met Sara Rutter, I was in a complete mess with my divorce. Sara listened to everything my children and I had been through, talked me through the process and has been there for us every step of the way.

Gemma Cole

Tagged solicitor Gemma Cole

Gemma was absolutely incredible with my case and moved extremely swiftly and professionally. I felt I could email her with any questions, no matter how silly they may have been and she responded promptly, even after the case. She made sure all bases was covered, spoke to the other party and made sure an agreement was arranged. I would highly recommend straw and Pearce and specifically, Gemma Cole. Thankyou again Gemma.
