Testimonials
Adrian Pearce at Smiths is hands down one of the best (if not THE best) at what he does in the country. He’s represented me twice now,1st time he got me the outcome he said he would which was a shock really.. a good shock! My 2nd case is still ongoing from January 2020. During that whole time he has kept me updated with meetings, calls, emails and letters letting me know how my case was progressing. Any questions I have gets a quick reply. He’s a friendly, positive no nonsense kind of guy, down to earth, tells you how it is and doesn’t promise you the world or sugar coat your situation although when speaking with him it seems like he can pull the impossible off! I wouldn’t hesitate to have Adrian on my side again and I recommend him to anyone that needs his help. Top guy! Thank you

We have met many law professionals during our personal, professional and social lives. Whilst many have been competent and experienced, none of them have come close to the standards of Adrian Pearce.
We contacted Adrian during an extremely stressful time in our lives. The law firm we were using were not being proactive, and as such we were living in a precarious state of limbo.
After emailing Adrian outlining our legal situation, he responded almost immediately and an appointment was made. Adrian is fair, transparent, professional and an absolute gentleman. He discusses costs openly, and fights for his clients. Contacting Adrian was the best decision we have ever made.
Adrian was with us throughout the entire process and we could not be happier with the outcome. We recommend Adrian Pearce to all of our family, friends and colleagues who may require legal assistance.
Adrian is a gifted criminal solicitor, and we consider him not only to be a legal expert but also a friend.

Adrian Pearce has been representing myself and family and friends for many years now
He’s clear and to the point and makes sure you understand everything clearly and as to why. He does seem to go above and beyond for his clients. He is very well thought of around the Coventry area and we recommend him everyday all day.
I was recommended to use Adrian by a family friend. I found myself in serious trouble after making a poor decision when I helped out a life-long friend. I was very stressed and anxious, and the case dragged on for a number of years. From day one Adrian supported me and was available 24/7 to answer any questions. I truly believe if it wasn't for Adrian's legal advice my life could have ended up a lot different. I don't plan to get into trouble again but if I did, I would not hesitate to use Adrian again. Me and my family cannot thank Adrian enough for his help through a few difficult years.
