Hannah Poole
Solicitor
Having joined Olliers in January 2021 and completing her training contract with the firm, Hannah recently qualified as a solicitor in August 2023 and is thrilled to move onto the next stages of her legal career.
Hannah has developed a keen interest in Crown Court preparation for an assortment of offences. She particularly values working alongside counsel instructed from the early stages of preparation following the initial hearing to ensuring the case is trial ready. Hannah throughout the recognised training period welcomed the opportunity to assist her colleagues who have extensive experience in this department with their cases which has then in turn allowed her to mature her own style and approach when preparing her own cases for trial or sentence. Hannah continues to also develop her understanding for working on POCA cases following conviction and sentence.
Pre-charge engagement and the investigation stages to cases is an area Hannah has worked significantly in over the last two years. She appreciates how crucial this process can be in avoiding a charging decision by adopting a pro-active approach from the get-go and has frequently made representations against charge on behalf of the client, at times involving counsel where appropriate. Hannah has also completed the Olliers internal Pre-Charge Accreditation and found this incredibly useful when advising clients on the importance to engaging in this.
Hannah is a police station accredited representative. Since completing the accreditation process, she has involved herself at any opportunity to attend a police station to represent the client requiring assistance. Hannah recognises that any advice given to a client could be detrimental and it can have real ramifications should the case progress beyond charge. Hannah appreciates that for most, attending a police station interview is unfamiliar and unnerving, Hannah ensures she takes the time to reassure the client of each stage to the process and she endeavours to maintain a meticulous approach when taking instructions and advising the client on any given scenario.

Positive service and support in a negative situation
The news a case was being made against me was totally out of nowhere and not something I could have ever imagined. Being that I had not had interactions with the police I found myself in the unsure situation of relying on my assigned solicitor which at first I was not comfortable with. This being said they worked fast to reassure me with the best ways to approach the case which gave me confidence in their ability. As time passed I was regularly kept up to date with the progress and developments and always felt prepared for whatever may come next. We had a favourable result after what seemed like an eternity. I will always remember the Olliers team as a whole and how professionally they applied themselves and supported my case. Thank you x 10,000.

An absolute professional yet friendly experience
I cannot praise Olliers enough for the help and assistance they give me during my legal predicament. From the initial call through to the final hearing, they were constantly providing advise, direction and sometimes even just an ear to bend.
Extremely informal, no graces and an absolute pleasure to deal with. A great outcome achieved in the circumstances.
I will never be able to thank you Kate & Hannah. enough
