Outside of work, Victoria is a busy mum of two and owns a cavapoo and a cat, so life revolves around her family.

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.

Thank you

I cannot recommend Victoria enough to anyone who is looking for help with family law. The support given throughout was second to none. Having worked with Victoria before, it was never in question that I sought her support again. From start to finish, processes were outlined and clear. Open communication along the way and honest responses to questions asked. The service received was nothing short of outstanding. Thank you to the rest of the team at Susan Howarth too, for their services and dedication. Without hesitation, I would recommend Victoria and the team at Susan Howarth.

Amazing Service

The level of service I have received from all staff members has been fantastic during a very difficult time. Everyone was willing to help where possible. Alan in billing was fantastic and Vicky Poole is outstanding. She listens to your thoughts and feelings and she always had my children's best interests at heart. I wouldn't trust anyone else like i now trust Vicky and Susan Howarth.

My experience with Susan Howarth solicitors was exactly what I needed. They were helpful and available at all times and they explained in plain English the technical law terms that were used so that they made sense to a layman like myself. Victoria Poole kept me informed at all stages and helped me understand the process I was going through. They are a solicitor's that I will have no difficulty recommending to family and friends.

I was absolutely terrified of contacting a solicitor and of the family court process, I should never of worried Victoria Poole was amazing she not only listened she was caring, understanding and compassionate. Victoria never left a stone unturned and we got a better outcome than I thought possible. Myself and my children are forever grateful to Victoria and this company.
