First Impressions

I found Poole Alcock on Google, and was impressed by the feedback scores. Gove them a call & spoke to Amber, who was very friendly and professional. Amber double-checked with me about my requirements and offered me a same day appointment with a solicitor who would be able to deal with my commercial property purchase. When Amber called back the next day to take an initial card payment, again, she was friendly snd professional.

Informative, knowledgeable and personable…

Lisa gave me excellent advice as I begin the process of seeking divorce. She listened, then helped me think about the process in a logical order. She was sympathetic and warm-hearted. She discussed fees transparently and openly, including the most cost effective options available, which I really appreciated.

Disappointing

Often promises were made to provide me with an update the moment my solicitor would receive one but often we would hear nothing for days, then chase, then find out there had been a response days ago but not passed on. Also took them 4 days to release proceeds from a property sale.

He had a wealth of knowledge of this specialist area and offered really great in-depth advice.
