Redundancy Consultation

This review is for a different branch.

Right from the start, I felt empathy and support from the desk assistant who answered my initial call, to right up to the conversation with the solicitor, Jamie Riseley. The whole experience, which could have been more stressful, wasn't. They were incredibly friendly and took away any anxiety I may have had. Thoroughly appreciated their help.

I found Poole Alcock very helpful. Any questions or points I was not sure on, I always had a friendly response back to help me out. They were also quick to chase the sale when it slowed down. The customer service i received was always at a high standard.
