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. My circumstances have not been the easiest and yet, Sara has acted professionally throughout and has achieved a positive outcome for my boys and I. I honestly can’t thank her enough. I would recommend Sara Rutter to anyone.

I had a very positive experience overall. My solicitor was extremely responsive, approachable and efficient throughout the process of counselling me on my prenuptial agreement. Communication was excellent, and I always felt that questions were dealt with promptly and clearly in most situations. Remarkably easy to understand and relatable. I would definitely recommend to friends.

I want to thank the whole team for honestly helping me to win the case of my children not being taken away from me by the local authorities! They really helped and aligned me so that everything can go well which it did! Honestly can’t thank them enough most especially Kiran and Sonya! They did a great job putting my case together and fighting for my children well-being and safety. I and my family can’t thank them enough. Thank you so much 🙏🏽

I want to express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional representation I received from Amanda Mhlanga during the family proceedings concerning my daughter. The proceedings were lengthy, emotionally exhausting and, at times, incredibly difficult to endure. Throughout that experience, Amanda was far more than a capable solicitor. She was a steady, reassuring and deeply humane presence during one of the most distressing periods of my life. Amanda combined excellent legal judgement with genuine compassion. She listened carefully, took my concerns seriously and ensured that I understood the legal process, even when the circumstances were complicated or overwhelming. She had an extraordinary ability to bring calm and clarity to moments that felt frightening and uncertain. Her patience, composure and consistency helped me remain emotionally regulated and able to continue participating meaningfully in the proceedings. What impressed me most was that Amanda never allowed the human reality of the case to become lost within the legal process. She understood that the matter was not simply about documents, hearings and procedure. It concerned my daughter, my family and the future of our lives. I never felt reduced to a case number or treated as though my fears were an inconvenience. I felt heard, respected and supported. Amanda was honest with me when difficult advice was required, but she always delivered that advice with sensitivity and respect. She did not make promises she could not keep, and she never gave me false reassurance. Instead, she gave me something far more valuable: guidance, advocacy and confidence that every reasonable effort was being made on my daughter’s behalf. She also worked seamlessly with paralegal Hannah Riley and Barrister Julia Gasparro. Together, they became what I affectionately described as my “dream team.” Their professionalism, preparation and commitment were evident throughout, but so was their warmth. Even the moments of humour we shared mattered enormously. They brought humanity into a process that could otherwise feel impersonal and isolating, and those moments helped me cope more than they may ever fully realise. Amanda’s work, together with the dedication of Hannah and Julia, made a meaningful difference in my daughter’s life. Amanda Mhlanga is an exceptional solicitor and an enormous credit to T.V. Edwards. She represents the very best of family-law practice. She is legally skilled, emotionally intelligent, patient and genuinely committed to who she represents. Her impact on my life extended far beyond the courtroom. She helped me retain my strength, dignity and hope throughout an extraordinarily painful experience. I will always be grateful for the care she showed me and for the dedication she brought to my daughter’s case.

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.

Working with Heather was a very easy process and made a difficult life situation much more manageable over the many months that it extended. Heather listened carefully and made useful observations and very clear suggestions on the way to proceed.

I truly don’t have the words to thank Emma Cohen enough. She supported me through the most painful and complicated time in my life, and helped me get my Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK — something that means everything to me. I went through domestic abuse, legal pressure, emotional trauma, and so much uncertainty. I was alone in a foreign country, trying to survive and protect my future. Emma stood by me with kindness, professionalism, and complete dedication. She listened to me, believed in me, and fought for me. Because of her hard work and support, I received my ILR months earlier than expected.I feel safe now. I can breathe. I can build my life again. If you're looking for a lawyer who actually cares about you, not just your case, I can’t recommend Emma enough. She changed my life. She is super amazing and I highly recommended her to everyone!! Thank you, Emma. I will never forget what you’ve done for me. ❤️
