Elinor made a stressful experience easier to deal with
This review is for a different branch.
After getting made redundant, I chose Poole Alcock to advise on my Settlement Agreement. Elinor was very clear and thorough, and explained what each section in the Agreement meant. She put my mind at ease, removed any doubts, and I was happy that the Agreement was fair by the end of our call. Thanks, Elinor, for making a difficult time easier to navigate.

Residential property registration
This review is for a different branch.
I sent an email asking for help with the registration of a residential property. Georgina responded quickly to ask for some details, and was quickly able to provide a quote. After a quick phonecall to pay a deposit for the services to be provided, I was given the details of the solicitor who will handle the case. Georgina was polite and professional, and I will certainly be using them in the future and would recommend to anyone else.

Value for money Wills service
This review is for a different branch.
This firm wrote the Wills for me and my wife. They were very good value for money and pretty efficient, although you do need to double-check the Will to ensure it represents what you thought you had requested. The Will commentary they provided, that 'translated' the legalise of the Will into plain English, was particularly appreciated, as was the fixed fee charge.
