Initial consultation

I reached out to Poole Alcock to get some initial help and guidance on potential divorce proceedings, Tim broke things down very clearly for me and helped me understand the landscape. If I need to engage a firm, I will be going back to Poole Alcock.

Excellent Employment Solicitor

Emily, Kellie and the team at Poole Alcock Solicitors were highly efficient, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I was given sound advice and friendly assistance. Their service was swift, professional and the fact that the team were contactable and helpful made things all very easy for me, when leaving my employment.
If anyone is looking for an employment solicitor, then I would not hesitate to recommend Poole Alcock Solicitors LLP to you.

Sophie performed miracles to ensure we met our tight deadline for purchasing a house. We encountered numerous challenges, including the site needing to close temporarily and delays in receiving responses to our queries. Throughout the process, Sophie maintained a high level of professionalism and diligence, always prioritising our needs. She provided us with peace of mind during a very stressful situation. I highly recommend her services!

Completed the review of my settlement agreement with short notice and a fast turnaround. The advice given by Jamie was always concise and too the point - picked up errors in my employers docs and that is always fun 😁😁. Would use again in the future so would thoroughly recommend .
