Thank you Poole Alcock Solicitors

Auntie believed everything had been sorted in her will years before her death with her old solicitors. After her death, tracing of Bonds, money and shares would not have been possible without the expert support and guidance of Poole Alcock Solicitors. The immense patience they showed me when I asked questions to them might have been trivial, but to me seemed important.
Thank you Poole Alcock Solicitors.

Top quality service. We did our wills. We used this company also to sell, and then buy our new home. That's why we went back. X

The personal service my elderly mother is receiving is exceptional.
Care, attention and love she has been given by Verity is truly touching.
Wills, Probate, Employment law and so much more.
Just wish they would have the squeaky floors sorted out as it's annoying.
But 10/10 for their support.
