Excellent support, advice and efficency
Gemma came onto my case half way through it. She took over from another solicitor who I didn't feel supported by and didn't feel the case was progressing. Whilst on my case gemma was extremely supportive and empathetic along side fighting my corner with the local authority and my ex partners solicitor. She got the job done when needed and was constandby pushing for more. Gemma always took the time to return my e mails and calls and never left me waiting. I do believe with out gemma supporting me with this my case would have ended up very different. She is excellent at what she does and deserves all the credit.

Family Court.
Gemma was absolutely incredible with my case and moved extremely swiftly and professionally. I felt I could email her with any questions, no matter how silly they may have been and she responded promptly, even after the case. She made sure all bases was covered, spoke to the other party and made sure an agreement was arranged. I would highly recommend straw and Pearce and specifically, Gemma Cole. Thankyou again Gemma.
