Litigation Matter: Stables

I had a telephone consultation with Dan Brooks, a partner in the litigation team. He provided excellent advice which took on board all of the facts as I had explained them, he put my mind at reast about the matter and eased my anxiety over what has been a difficult time for me. He clearly explained the pros and cons of further action and explained the fees and next steps should I wish to instruct. Rather than press me to go ahead, he advised that on balance, I shouldn't. I think that other firms may well have advised a costly but pointless exercise in interest of their bottom line. Thanks Dan!

Potential Compensation Claim

We contacted Dan having used your firm for the recent sale and purchase of our house using your firm. We required Corporate Litigation to try and get back £4300 we paid to rent a house for 6 weeks that was not fit for purpose. Dan was always straight with us in our dealings and eventually we agreed that on a cost benefit analysis basis, we would have to drop the case - it could have cost nearly £10000 to pursue and not get the costs back. My only concern is the fees involved - £350 per hour plus VAT is way out of the reach of ordinary people such as ourselves and stops them from pursuing justice - just a thought.

BPA Services Limited would like to give this testimonial to Dan Brooks a partner of Poole Alcock as we were looking at recruiting someone but hit a glitch regarding visa status.

I contacted Dan regarding the situation and having asked me the questions he needed answering to gauge the situation Dan went away and along with his team looked at various options before coming back to me.

Dan then spent time with me to explain the pros and cons of the situation and various ways to move forward or, not whilst explaining the hurdles financially as well as time constraint on a resolution.

BPA would like to thank Dan and his team for their time and commitment in getting a resolution to this in a very timely manner and we would have no hesitation in recommending Poole Alcock for any of their legal services they provide as they have an excellent team of experts.

Conveyancing

In 2020 my wife and I decided to purchase our first Buy to Let property. When we found the property I was asked by the sellers agent if I had a solicitor. I said I was intending to use Poole Alcock. The agent said ‘I wouldn’t do that. They are too big, will be slow and you won’t get a good service’. I ignored this remark as having worked with Dan Brooks on another family matter I had grown to know, like and trust him and I was confident that he and his team wouldn’t let me down.

My decision was completely vindicated. Poole Alcock were efficient, helpful, professional and a pleasure to work with. They guided us through the process and made it as painless as possible. They gave sound advice and were transparent on fees, which were also reasonable. We will certainly be using them again and have no hesitation in recommending them.

I think when getting Legal advice it can be a real mistake to go for the cheapest price!

I am glad I did not do that and instructed Pool Alcock to act on my behalf in a land dispute.

Everything was left to them and this resulted in winning my case - it looked like the person I was in dispute with went for the 'cheaper' Solicitor...

A special mention for one of the partners Daniel Brookes who was superb from start to finish.

Highly recommended..........
