Excellent initial call

I contacted the company via their web chat and got a call back within hours.
Helen was fantastic and gave me peace of mind that there are ways around my situation.
She was kind, compassionate and listened then gave me great advice.
I’ll definitely be using Helen when I’m in a position to do so and when the time is right.

Excellent Service

I had a 15 min call with Tim about a family law issue to get some prices on services related to family law and he kindly gave me some very useful clear advice over the phone free of charge.
He was honest in everything he said and gave me some confidence.
He seems very dedicated to his clients and he seems very knowledgeable.
I would feel confident using Tim or have him to represent me if required as I feel he would do his utmost to help my case.

I wish to acknowledge & thank Mr Andrew Roberts for his attention to detail in our difficult & complex legal dealings with him.
He listened carefully, contributed positively & clearly invested of himself way beyond an acceptable minimum basic corporate stance of fulfilling his contractual obligations to us.
His time, patience, listening ear & deep understanding our concerns was a huge comfort to us.
Andrew is an outstandingly professional individual with a pleasant manner & a sensitive touch & a credit to Poole & Alcock Solicitors.

Highly recommended with absolute confidence
