Could not have got through it without her

I cannot recommend highly enough Vicky Poole. I simply could not have got through my divoirce without her. She was fantasitic from day 1. I explained ths situation and she knew straight away the best way to handle it, and it became very evident very quickly she was right. She genuinely had my best interests at heart throughout the whole process. I will always appreciate what she has done for me, she was very clear, very honest, I knew exactly what was going on and that's what I needed. I did also feel very protected and knew I was in safe hand and that confidence made everything so much easier. Her experience showed time and time again, I followed her advice at every step and she didnt let me down. She 100% knows her stuff. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Excellent service

I cannot recommend Vicky Poole and the rest of the team at Susan Howarth enough. Going through a divorce can be incredibly stressful, but from our very first meeting, Vicky was exceptionally professional and gave me complete confidence. The whole team were always courteous and genuinely friendly, which made all the difference during a difficult time. Most importantly, Vicky truly listened to my concerns and provided clear, helpful advice every step of the way. A fantastic solicitor.

Unfortunately Victoria Poole does not adhere to court orders and does what she likes reported to the Solicitors Regulation Authority

Vicky was really lovely to work with from day 1 of my divorce proceeding. She was empathetic, professional, direct and clear. She actioned things really quickly every time we spoke. I felt well listened to, supported and guided through the process.

Dear Maddy, Many thanks for your review - going through a divorce is very personal and for many can be difficult, upsetting and confusing. We're so glad your experience was as 'positive' as it could be and we hope that reading your feedback will give other people in a similar position some reassurance and hope. We know Vicky is fabulous but you could argue we're biased of course! Thank you once again and if we can be of any further help, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Kind Regards SH&Co.
