Thank you Poole Alcock Solicitors

Auntie believed everything had been sorted in her will years before her death with her old solicitors. After her death, tracing of Bonds, money and shares would not have been possible without the expert support and guidance of Poole Alcock Solicitors. The immense patience they showed me when I asked questions to them might have been trivial, but to me seemed important.
Thank you Poole Alcock Solicitors.

Friendly and knowledgeable.

Jane made me feel comfortable and at ease. She was knowledgeable about the next steps I would need to take and also gave me a full overview of the process ahead of me.
I felt reassured that Jane would be able to help and guide me through this distressing time.
The only tiny hitch wadthe sound quality of the call could have been clearer.
