The best service.

Emma is fantastic. If ever emailed to asked how things were going, she was always very prompt on replying. Never had to chase her up. She also sent updates as late as 6.30pm. We couldn’t ask more of a solicitor. Highly recommend her.

My defence

First time in a court room, Richard and Armena explained everything that was going to happen. I was very impressed with Richards cross examination, he asked all the questions l would have asked.

An asset to Straw and Pearce

Jaiker is such a genuine, kind, caring person. He recently assisted me with a criminal case at crown court and from the moment he introduced himself he helped me and my family feel relaxed and reassured that he was there to help me, and to get the best outcome possible. Jaiker’s caring nature shone through throughout a very stressful time in mine and my family’s lives. His empathy and understanding towards my situation speaks volumes of his character and the values he has. His knowledge and work ethic is unmatched. Just one of many examples I could use is that Jaiker would check in with me long after we left court to ensure I was okay, to ask if I had any question's and pass on advice for the next day. Something which he did not need to do as his day had finished and he could have turned his phone off and continued his evening at his own leisure but he didn’t, he went the extra mile. Whenever I thanked Jaiker for what he was doing for me he would always modestly reply “you don’t have to thank me” but I feel that my gratitude towards him and my barrister Derek is something I could never express enough. Jaiker has such a bright career ahead of him and is an absolute credit to Straw and Pearce. I cannot fault Straw and Pearce in any way for the way they have supported me, and without Jaiker and Derek I would not be able to put this ordeal behind me and move forward with my life as the outcome could have been very different. I firmly believe if it wasn’t for Jaiker and Derek I wouldn’t be sat here writing this message from my home address. I will be forever grateful to Jaiker and Derek for believing in me and I hold them in the highest regard and wish them both the very best in their careers and in their personal lives.

Thank you Jaiker.

Moving house for the first time in over 36 years

We hadn’t moved house in over 36 years and were very apprehensive about the whole buying and selling process. Joanna dealt with everything for us. She was always approachable, answered all of our questions ( no matter how daft ) and gave us reassurance when needed. We cannot thank her enough.

Dealings with Jamie Simner

I have just concluded the worst two years of my life with regards to an allegation made against me. I was fortunate enough to be represented by Jamie Simner on two separate occasions. I would just like to say I could not have got through these past two years without Jamie’s support. He has gone above and beyond his duty in taking care of me and the support he has shown. I’ve received out of hour calls and emails from Jamie to check on my welfare and wellbeing … I honestly can’t say enough good things about Jamie and the company he represents. He is a credit to his industry and his company. I would not hesitate in recommending Jamie or his company to anyone. He takes things to a personal level and honestly does go out of his way to help any way he can. Thank you I will be forever grateful for your support..
