Exceptional Service

I was presented with Gross Misconduct Allegations back in July 2022 where I was assigned Mark as my legal solicitor. He has been dealing with my case for two and a half years where yesterday I was cleared on all allegations with no case to answer.

Mark has been from the outset exceptional. He explained everything in detail and never left me to worry. Undoubtably I had moments of worry and I was quite distressed. He did nothing but support me and reassured me. He always let me know I could phone him whatever time if I had any queries or questions. He kept me informed at all times and explained everything down to a tee.

He instructed again, exceptional barristers who also assisted with the no case to answer outcome.

I cannot thank Mark enough for his help over the last two and a half years. I will be eternally grateful for him for everything he has done.

Support with gross misconduct proceedings

I would thoroughly recommend Mark and his firm, he provided great advice and support throughout the whole process me, lasting eight months in total, ending with a good outcome that at points did not look achievable. He was always easy to contact and prompt to answer any questions I had. I do not have anything negative to say.

Superb

I was met by Mark in a timely manner and he has reviewed all material prior to our engagement. He was clear in his advise and adopted a professional and supportive stance, giving guidance on how the matter would proceed. His confidence in me allowed me to be prepared for my interview and sure the right outcome would be determined. I hope I'm never served papers again but if history repeats itself I would like Mark at my side.

Thank you so much!

I previously used Straw and Pearce when buying my first home Seven years ago and knew I wanted to again when buying and selling this time.

We were put in touch with Emma who was amazing and so responsive despite working part time.

I had multiple questions and there were issues with the chain along the way , however Emma was reassuring and calm throughout the whole process ans her communication was consistent.

She made a stressful time so much easier and I cannot recommend her enough

Thank you!!!

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.
