From the initial first meeting to conclusion, the last 4 years whilst my divorce was ongoing have been the most stressful of my life. I cant thank Stephanie and Olivia for their help, support and guidance to see it through to the end during that time and for that I am extremely grateful for their continued work and time throughout that period. Thank you to you both so much. Rob

I would like to highly recommend Anthony Bailey to anyone looking for legal representation. His personalized approach and attention to detail made a significant difference in my case. He went above and beyond to ensure that my rights were protected and that I received a satisfactory resolution.
I would like to thank everyone at Biscoes for their excellent work, professionalism, kindness and understanding, especially on those occasions when I must have asked 'silly' questions! At a time when things were very stressful and anxious( divorce) your help, professional advice helped me go through . Without your help I won’t be able to do what I did . I would highly recommend and would definitely use them again in the future. Many many thanks again for everything, you did. Thank you . Joanna

I got in touch with Liyen after a recommendation.
I found Liyen and her team to be absolutely magnificent in their handling of my mother’s affairs.
I would not have had a clue as what I needed to do as an executor but Liyen and Sarah talked me through it and kept me updated at every step.
I would highly recommend Biscoes and especially Liyen and Sarah.
Thank you for all that you have done for me and my family.
A representative from Biscoes Solicitors responded to this review on 09 June, 2025:
Hi Mark. Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. We’re truly glad that Liyen and Sarah could support you through such an important and often challenging time. It means a lot to know that their guidance and updates helped make the process clearer and more manageable for you as an executor. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated, and we’re here for you and your family whenever you need us.

I can't imagine anyone has enjoyed a smoother or faster probate process. It had been a very emotional time from my brother and me and we were approaching probate with some trepidation...it turned out to be completely stress free.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're glad to have made a difficult time easier and to provide a smooth, stress-free probate process for you and your brother.

It was with a certain amount of initial anxiety that I initially visited Biscoes Solicitors to streamline and update my Will. So may I thank you for the expert way you dealt with my queries during the two meetings we had at your premises, and the subsequent correspondence that quickly followed.
I am extremely pleased with the professional way you responded to my questions, and feel comforted that you have finalised my affairs in an entirely suitable and satisfactory manner.

Brilliant service, Laura made the whole experience of moving after 40 years from our old house so much easier than we thought. She kept us updated throughout the process with clear instructions and information with both selling and buying.
We were so grateful to Lura and the team for helping to make it all happen.
A representative from Biscoes Solicitors responded to this review on 27 May, 2025:

I was very nervous about contacting a solicitor but am so pleased a friend persuaded me to. Annie put me at ease immediately and explained everything calmly and clearly. She did everything she said she would, and promptly. My situation was making me ill and she has resolved it in a very professional manner. I found her easy to talk to and immediately trusted her. I can now move on and put all the worry and difficulties behind me. Thank you so much

We used biscoes to help buy our first home and the service was amazing. We had a few complications near the end of the completion date and they stayed on top of the issue, Their consistent communication gave us peace of mind, and we never had any doubt throughout the process we can not thank Sam and Karen enough!

Historically, the longserving Portsmouth based firms of Biscoe Smith, Heather and Bellinger, Cousins Burbidge & Connor and Lyndhurst Groves merged in 1994 to form Biscoes Cousins Groves. In 2004 in the Firm's 150th year, Biscoes absorbed Wilkinson & Co and merged with King and Franckeiss, both well respected local firms. Subsequently in 2005 a merger with Covers added a Petersfield office to an already impressive list of locations, which was closely followed by the opening of an office in Gosport. In 2006 a Portchester branch was created following the link up with the long established practice of Barry Swanton & Co. In 2018 Biscoes merged with Gurney Champion & Co & Heyes Saumuel in Ryde, Isle of Wight. Biscoes continues to move confidently into the 21st Century, whilst remaining steadfastly committed to the provision of a traditional and locally based legal service. Located in offices close to you. Emergency and home appointments are available in certain cases. We are here to help you with all your legal requirements and offer a comprehensive range of legal services. We pride ourselves in providing a professional approach in a friendly environment.
