“I think when getting Legal advice it can be a real mistake to go for the cheapest price! I am glad I did not do that and instructed Pool Alcock to act on my behalf in a land dispute. Everything was left to them and this resulted in winning my case - it looked like the person I was in dispute with went for the 'cheaper' Solicitor... A special mention for one of the partners Daniel Brookes who was superb from start to finish. Highly recommended..........”

“Daniel Henderson was extremely patient and up front about everything he was on top of everything to do with my house sale. Even tho my sellers were particularly difficult he always kept my spirits up and explained exactly what I needed to do and when. He was a positive in what was a very stressful time.”
