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.

Excellent support and introductions

Eve contacted us after we used Poole Alcock's online conveyancing estimate service. She was extremely approachable and knowledgeable, and made sure that we had a copy of all of our answers in writing for later referral. We are buying our first home, and Eve really took the stress out of starting to instruct solicitors.

Redundancy with short notice

I reach out to the team at Poole Alcock solicitors and explained the situation I had with being made redundant. I was booked in the very next day for a consultation call with Tim Edgeley and we ran over my documents. Tim explained what a lot of the business lingo meant and what I needed to ensure I do, to cover my side of the contract. Tim & Kellie then liaised with my employer and had everything reviewed, signed and complete within 2 days! I honestly can’t thank Tim & Kellie enough for the work completed and the support they offered when I had any queries or concerns.

On the ball, excellent service provided - Aldermore Remortgage

Chanel was the casehandler for my file, she provided excellent service, was really professional and completed the transaction very quickly. Would definately recommend Poole Alcock. Chanel was on the ball and very quick at responding. She made my mortgage effortless alongside my broker. This remortgage has changed my life for the better.

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.
