Value for money
About this score
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

Satisfied with outcome
About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

Sarah Jackson was amazing from start to finish, supporting, advising and guiding me through all the stages of a long and difficult divorce process. Sarah was professional, sympathetic, understanding yet clear and fair at each stage. Sarah explained each step clearly and worked at my pace throughout. I would not be where I am now, stepping into a new chapter, without her. For that I am very grateful and I can't recommend Sarah enough. Thank you.

Housing & Property
All Went Smoothly
Used Battens for the conveyancing of a house sale. Everything was pretty straightforward, so not excatly a challenge for them, but I have no complaints. It was handy to have a physical, local office to drop things into whilst also being able to do many things online. A little more expensive than some competitors (esp. for dealing solely with a paralegal rather than a solicitor), but maybe you get what you pay for.

Thank you for a seamless transaction. Communication with you and your team was always timely, precise and accurate leading to a prompt conclusion which defies the feedback I've been receiving from locally based friends.

We would highly recommend Cate Barnes for conveyancing at the Dorchester branch of Battens. Her professionalism and attention to detail made the selling and buying process seamless within a very pleasing time scale. Thank you Cate.

I found Battens to be excellent to deal with for my home Sale & purchase. Everything was laid out clearly from the outset, & the team were very experienced. Battens made handling my transaction as stress free as possible. Rachel & the team showed great determination, knowledge & resiliance throughout & im am glad I engaged a local solicitor to handle both transactions. Would highly Recommend & use again Cheers Neil

We have used Battens (Yeovil) again for the sale of our previous home and buying of our new one. Cannot recommend Ross, Mandy and Roisin enough. They were very helpful and responsive from start to finish, and even though the chain initially collapsed, they were on the ball and kept us updated every step of the way. Would definitely recommend.
