Louise Straw did a truly fantastic job for a friend of mine facing a very serious criminal charge. She was sympathetic and supportive and inspired confidence in her ability throughout. The icing on the cake was that he was acquitted. I would recommend her without hesitation.

I have recently required the services of Burton Copeland LLP. My solicitor assigned was Daniel Weed.
