Family Law

Excellent legal guidance and advice to parents of children in pre-proceedings

As an independent advocate I have supported many parents going through pre-proceedings with their children under a child protection plan. All the solicitors at Battens have been responsive to parents and to me as the parent's advocate. But I would commend Georgina Bacon in particular for her professional compassion, clear advice and her excellent easier to read summaries after meetings or court hearings. And also thinking to include photos of barristers to help us all find that person on an already stressful occasion. I have learned a lot!

Ceri was outstanding from the get go . Her communication skills were exceptional in what was a complicated situation. She understood the entire situation in a very short period of time. She handled the opposing legal time with contempt they deserved as they had overly demanding. I would no hesitation to recommend Ceri to anyone

We consulted Battens to be our solicitor for a property at Augusta Park in Yeovil, and at every stage of the process, they proved to us it was a great decision. Naomi’s overall approach displayed a high level of professionalism which gave us peace and so, we had nothing absolutely to worry about. Great people!

We recently used Battens Solicitors in the selling of one house and the buying of another. There was an extremely tight deadline and they worked tirelessly to get the sale through on time. Communication was great - consistent, professional and friendly. The handwritten Christmas cards from the teams were a really lovely touch. We would definitely recommend Battens to friends and family and would use them again in the future.

Excellent service

Excellent, professional and efficient service provided by Ross and his conveyancing team at the Yeovil office. They made complex information regarding my transaction straightforward to understand and answered my many questions promptly. The fees were clearly set out from the start and the transaction moved forward swiftly thanks to the hard work of the team. I would definitely recommend Battens to friends and family.

Battens in Bridport - conveyancing

an excellent service provided by all the team, but especially Nicola - very good at responding to my enquiries - with patience, clarity and in a friendly professional positive manner. All info was sent with clear explanations of its content and relevant sections to note, so very supportive in guiding me through the legal processes.

In the past I have had some dreadful experiences with solicitors regarding the purchase and sale of property....but not this time. Battens were efficient, on the ball and did everything exactly as required without any surprises either time or cost wise. I thoroughly recommend Cate Barnes for her quiet proficiency, professionalism and competence. With her we were in great hands.
