Efficient, friendly & professional
The solicitor handling my work was really helpful and answered my many questions at the start and not during the process. The work took much less time than I expected and that has helped me to get on with sorting out the rest of the estate. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

A review of Poole Alcock Congleton
My Wife and I have dealt with this firm for quite sometime, I recently engaged them to update my will and to discuss ways to minimize the impact of long term care cost on our estate. I am very happy with the outcome and found Claire to be very helpful and approachable.
