Solicitor at Hedges Law Limited
Nicola Poole
Solicitor - Managing Director
SRA ID: 162116
I’ve been at Hedges for almost 20 years now. I’m always looking at ways in which we can improve our clients’ experience and I’m firmly focussed on ensuring that Hedges is a terrific place to work. We were the fifth law firm in the country to become employee-owned, so all of our employees, known as ‘HedgeHolders’, have a stake in our business too. My background is in family law. When I first started working at Hedges, I quickly realised what a wonderful opportunity I had to be able to bring the business into the 21st Century and help it to thrive. Hedges has since developed to become the forward-thinking, fabulous company that you see now. Being a leader of this 233 year old firm has been a pleasure and a privilege.

Super Service
After what has been a particularly difficult time, I am truly humbled and overwhelmed by the compassion and kindness shown to me in dealing with such challenging behaviour and circumstances. A professional service with a very personal touch and a firm that I couldn't recommend more. Specific thanks go to Nicola Poole, Lauren Pilcher and Uzma Archer - what incredible women! THANK YOU.

The Caring Solicitor
Going through a divorce can be a very emotional, exhausting experience. I was fortunate to have Nicola representing me through a challenging time and I can honestly say that I would not have coped without her. She is quick to identify the nub of a problem and seems instinctively to know the best and most direct route to successfully solving it. She is always calm and logical and her years of experience ensure that she is well-respected in her field. Her high level of emotional intelligence allows her to provide sympathetic reassurance and support whilst ensuring the best possible outcome for her clients. Nicola worked tirelessly throughout the protracted complications of my case and gained the result that she had originally told me that I warranted. I cannot thank her enough for all that she did.

My Messy Divorce
I really can not thank Nicola & Lauren for all they have done for me over the last few months, every detail was dealt with so professionally, i was never in doubt or concerned with the advice and service they were giving, it was always 100%.
And as of today they have giving me my life back by sending me my decree absolute.
Thank you both so very much

Divorce advice
I contacted Hedges and Nicola in particular through a recommendation. Nicola has provided me with lots of great advice in one of the most stressful of times. Not only was Nicola excellent with the advice given on our initial engagements, Nicola has been sending lot of useful information to support me along my divorce process and mediation.

Hedges for Divorce
I approached Hedge’s to discuss how to go about divorce proceedings. I had a timely response and booked an appointment to discuss my situation. Nikki was absolutely fabulous, she was empathetic, made me feel secure, and I felt for the first time that someone had my back, was on my side, believed me, and would do anything they could to get a satisfactory resolution for myself and my daughter. The process was quick and as painless as possible, with very sympathetic correspondence throughout. Since then she has always been there to provide ongoing advice and check everything is still OK. Absolutely invaluable support, I could not have gone through this without them.

Empathy with professional support
Meeting Nikki Poole allowed me to sleep soundly that same night for the first time in months. She listened to what i told her about the lack of contact with my young daughter and she seemed to understand very quickly what my situation was. From the comments she made and the questions she asked me, I was reassured that she had fully digested how the situation had arisen from a false accusation of DV. She has given me hope that things will get better at the next court hearing. Her follow up to the initial meeting has been quick and efficient and she has been pro-active in chasing up the adminstration of justice. Having had experience of at least 4 other solicitors/barristers, my confidence has been restored that finally i may get a fair outcome.

Empathy, support and excellent guidance
During an extremely emotional marriage breakdown I was recommended to Nicola Poole by a friend and work colleague.
I can honestly say Nikki, Lauren and Stuart have shown kindness, empathy and have been totally supportive and offered excellent guidance during my divorce.
