A first class service.

A very efficient & professional service was provided by Naomi & Hannah during the sale of a bungalow that formed part of an estate I was the executor for. All queries were dealt with promptly and I was kept fully informed of progress throughout the sale process. I would have no hesitation in using them again or recommending them to others.

I received sound, solid advice from Battens Solicitors. They helped me with my Small, Money Claim throughout the whole case process. This help secured a successful result for which I am very happy about and very grateful for. Battens were not the only source of legal advice I took, but was easily the best. It was made clear to me what my options were, what I needed to do and when I needed to do it. As a result of this, in court I felt my preparation and evidence were much better than the Defendant's and this certainly helped to make and win my case. Battens are thoroughly recommended by me.

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.
