I found Emily’s work for me was efficient and professional at every stage. She kept me informed at all stages of the process and it was all completed very satisfactorily. I would definitely use Battens for any legal service which I needed.

Successful will and LPA conclusion

A number of factors delayed us revising our wills for a few years. When we finally approached Battens (on recommendation) Emily guided us through the process and gave excellent advice. When emailing use with drafts her documents and responses were always prompt and she gave accurate timelines for completion. Emily was efficient and professional but very pleasant and understanding of our circumstances.

Ross Siviter and Mandy Hutchinson at Battens did a fantastic job of our house move. We have moved a number of times in the past and I can safely say that the service and client care we received from the Battens team was the best we’ve ever had. I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking for conveyancing services.
