My experience was made as swift as possible by my solicitor Jamie. Given never being in the situation I found it all quite daunting. However Jamie explained step by step all I needed to know and advised me at each stage.

Outstanding solicitor for conveyancing

Emma was thorough and highly diligent in her work. She was readily available on the phone to discuss queries and managed to keep us calm and reassured during the most stressful parts of the process. The staff and colleagues that supported Emma when she was away were also exemplary. We were extremely pleased that we chose Straw and Pearce to complete our coveyancing.

Thank you bhapinder parmar

I was accused of domestic violence only to realise you are guilty until you can prove you are innocent felt the world against me my life about to crash lose my kids my reputation. I needed a solicitor a team who would go above and beyond, so I went in search came across Straw & Pearce after reading some reviews I was pleased also alot of others firms provide free consultation which i feel is like a trap I felt Straw & Pearce not having a free consultation proves to me they are the real buisness. From the first day of meeting Mr parmar I finally felt hope that he will prove my innocence, with all the evidence and the way Mr parmar scrutinised there statement he put together a case where they had no choice to drop the case and had put a plan in place where I have my time with my children which favours me so thank you very very much

Outstanding Service

I cannot praise my solicitor enough for their exceptional representation during what was an incredibly traumatic and stressful period of my life. Facing a workplace criminal allegation, including gross misconduct, left me feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about my future. However, from the very first consultation, their professionalism, deep legal knowledge, and unwavering support gave me the confidence that I was in the best possible hands.

Their advice throughout the process was consistently clear, sound, and sensible, cutting through the complexity of the situation with precision. They took the time to explain every step, ensuring I fully understood the process and my options, which was invaluable during such a distressing time. Their meticulous preparation and strategic guidance were particularly evident during my interview, where their expertise ensured I was able to present my case in the strongest possible light.

Thanks to their outstanding legal support, dedication, and advocacy, my case concluded with ‘No Further Action’ an outcome that will allow me to move forward with my life and career. I am profoundly grateful for their compassion, professionalism, and relentless commitment to achieving the best possible result.

I would wholeheartedly recommend this solicitor to anyone facing similar challenges

Straw and Peirce A+ service and Communication!

We didn’t have an easy ride with our house sale. Which highlights even more the value of a quality, reliable and professional solicitor. Emma Sharp was all of the above and more. When speaking to the rest of the chain they hardly had spoken to their solicitor and struggled to get hold of them when they did need an update. Emma Sharp gave regular updates, fought out corner and was always on the end of the phone when y Lou needed her. If you’re moving house use Staw and Peirce/ Emma Sharp with confidence!

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.

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.
