Friendly and honest advice!

I'm at the beginning of a separation so called Poole Alcock for a consultation and costs not knowing if I even required legal services for my situation. I had no idea what to expect but I was passed through to Tim Edgeley in the divorce and family law team and was so pleasantly surprised by the friendly and honest advice I received. I was expecting to be given some vague guidance and then sold expensive legal services, but Tim took time out of his day to caringly chat through my position and advise me what to do. He was so friendly and reassuring and it has given me the confidence to move forward. Thank you, Tim - If I do require legal help in the future then Poole Alcock will be my chosen solicitors!

James and his team, dealt with the sale of my property in a most professional manner. Calls and emails were always answered very promptly and with clarity. The enquiries from buyer’s solicitor was responded too promptly after conferring with me. I have used Poole Alcock on many occasions and will continue to do so in the future. Highly recommend.
