Straw & Pearce Solicitors

have dealt with Sarah, Debra, Richard excellent service. professional good solid advice and helped me out a great deal. thanks a lot guys and team.

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.

Dealt with Gemma, Rachel and Grace for our house move (buying and selling). Everything was so smooth and communication was great. highly recommend.

complete shambles. i contacted them regarding a house sale and stressed we needed to move quickly. 10 days later i chase them up and they tell me they are waiting for an email sent 5 days earlier. we are now at 15 days later, and nothing at all has been done. they lose or dont open emails and then just ignore you. If you want to sell a house id avoid these. all they have done is string me along for 15 days and delay my house sale which they knew was on a tight time frame. Now using someone half the price and 10x as efficient.

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.
