Where to start? What to divulge?
Jamie came into my life at my lowest ebb. My 21 year career, my wife and children, my home, my wife's vocation and our foster children were all hanging by a thread. Your mind is all over the place in those first few days so you don't notice the humanity in any person that sits in front of you in business attire. It's only afterwards once the dust has settled that you remember those little moments of empathy and compassion. Those are the important moments. Not to say his direction and duty were any less so but what takes someone above and beyond. He never sugar coated. He never condescended. He never put me down for any decisions I made that may not have aligned with his thinking. I don't want to rabbit on but do want to point out that the courts decision being in my favour only has a very slight impact on my gushing praise of Jamie. To sum up, I those dark times you want someone that knows what they are doing, are organised, timely, communicative and compassionate. It's a tick box on all counts for Mr Simner.... a professional gentleman.
A representative from Straw & Pearce responded to this review on 13 May, 2025:
Thank you so much for your incredibly thoughtful and moving words. It means a great deal to hear how impactful Jamie's support was during such an unimaginably difficult time in your life. Your openness in sharing your experience is deeply appreciated, and we are truly humbled that Jamie was able to walk alongside you with compassion, clarity, and respect when it mattered most. While outcomes are always important, it's those human moments—of empathy, understanding, and unwavering professionalism—that define the kind of service we strive to offer. Your recognition of that means a lot to us. Thank you again for taking the time to share your review.

Mark was great throughout our interactions. He was always very transparent and was also on hand whenever I needed him, either an email or phone call away. Even when I moved and there was an 8 hour time difference he was still great. Marks advice was sound throughout.

Was represented by Mark from PIP all the way to the inquest. I can genuinely say Mark was one of the few people who had a grip and actually cared throughout the process. Always on the ball, and committed pretty much 24/7, nothing was too much trouble and the distance he covered to attended meetings was incredible.
Right up until the point of handing it over to the KC for the inquest Mark showed a genuine interest in the case, and was in contact throughout. Cannot recommend him enough
A representative from Straw & Pearce responded to this review on 07 May, 2025:

Mark is deeply committed to supporting our clients every step of the way, and it’s wonderful to hear that his dedication, professionalism, and care made such a positive impact during a challenging process. We’ll be sure to pass along your feedback to him.

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.

We have recently sold and brought a new home and have used Straw and Pearce in Loughborough previously on a number of legal matters including conveyancing. Our experience this time with Emma Sharp and her team from start to finish has been excellent, queries and questions were dealt with quickly and efficiently and made our whole moving process less stressful. We felt fully informed throughout and are very grateful for the service we received. Thank you.

We worked with Emma Sharp for both our sale and purchase and found her to be reliable and communicative. Her assistant Kay is also very efficient and managed our account if ever Emma wasn’t available.
We would use Straw and Pearce again if needed in the future.
