Litigation

A Huge Relief After Two Years of Stress

“After carrying the burden of my legal matter for over two years, my first call with Sarah-Jane left me feeling genuinely relieved and far less stressed. She was professional, understanding, and took the time to really listen to my situation. Her outstanding knowledge of trustee disputes was immediately clear, and she was able to explain a range of possible solutions to my problem in a way that gave me confidence and reassurance. I came away from the conversation feeling supported, informed, and optimistic for the first time in a long while. I would highly recommend Sarah-Jane to anyone seeking knowledgeable and compassionate legal advice.”

Not just a great lawyer, but a really great person too...

I approached Dan Brooks at Poole Alcock for advice on a litigation matter. However, whilst the reason for reaching out to Dan was that I obviously needed his support as a lawyer, his overall approach and demeanour throughout the case meant that he made a tough time in my life a little less stressful, and gave me peace of mind when I needed it the most. A great lawyer, but also a great person too. I would highly recommend Dan to anyone seeing litigation advice.

The solicitor who billed but who was never available

No replies to my emails and no answer to telephone calls, on one occasion I had to contact Poole Alcock general enquires phone number so they could pass on a message to her to contact me whilst I was a paying client. There were missed attachments from emails I had to chase and poor grammar when I received emails back. She also missed exchange dates from the other party, her response was it was just a purposed date. Eventually I had enough and emailed Chloe stating I no longer wished to work with her, to which I had no response. I followed up 2 days later, again no response. To my shock Chloe then sent the party I was dealing with my full financial records. This fully exposed me and next solicitor who would be replacing Chloe. Her response to this was I had to understand she is busy with other clients. She was great at the start, but when a contract had been signed and billing began the service fell off a cliff.

So helpful

I spoke with Sarah Jayne today on a matter of litigation. She called me at the appointed time and immediately impressed me with her understanding of what had been discussed with her colleague. Her advice was both considered and knowledgeable. I was also impressed by her logic and integrity in not simply racking up a large fee for costs that could not be later recovered. I won’t hesitate to consider using this firm going forward

The team at Poole Alcock have shown a high degree of professional with my case. Lisa Ball has shown a very strong interest and determination to succeed and giving 5 stars is a bit of an insult, as it should be 10 stars, plus.

Really good experience with James Williams’ team. They worked fast to get us moved along quickly and the communication was good, which typically is spotty with solicitors, so this was great and really made my experience easier and less stressful.

Communications and interactions with Erin and Ella were brilliant throughout! The team provided friendly, efficient, proactive, service that made a challenging marital separation as clear and concise. From initial discussions to onboarding, progression and decision making meetings, Poole Alcock were great. I would highly recommend Poole Alcock for family legal and financial settlement matters.
