Great Company

I had the pleasure of having Brian look after my case. He was extremely professional and had a very good understanding of what the requirements we had. He came back to me in a timely fashion and was able to put our minds at ease. I would fully recommend Battens Solicitors and Brian. Thank you for all your help.

Great service from Katherine Gilmore and Patrick Mears on the sale of my company and associated properties. Prompt, approachable and practical advice and good at demystifying the various complexities which occur. Streetwise in negotiating and dealing with buyer's legal team and proactive in developing solutions which work for both parties. A successful outcome. Would use again.

Superb service from Battens once again..

Battens supported us with a recent business acquisition. Brian Levine was extremely professional, efficient and very responsive. This enabled us to get the deal done at the required speed, whilst being very thorough with the advice we received. I would certainly recommend Battens and will continue to use their services in future.

Conducted our business with the minimum of fuss, efficiently and expeditiously, and within the predicted budget. A wholly professional organisation that I wouldn’t hesitate to use again or recommend to others.

AVOID!! I use this solicitors firm for two separate business matters. They talk a very good talk but never provide the goods. All they care about is taking your money and never getting any results for you. Thanks to them I’ve incurred nearly £40,000 worth of losses. Never again.

We have used Battens for almost thirty years and could not be happier with the service we have received. They are still our solicitors of choice, despite the fact we moved to London in 2005. A deed of variation on a previous loan agreement was just drawn up by Brian Levine. He was responsive, patient and incredibly efficient. Done and dusted in no time. Kudos!

Thank you for your review and your positive comments. If we can be of further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us. Kind Regards, Battens Solicitors

Excellent Service from a professional, friendly team

We engaged Battens to manage the conveyancing when we moved house. Samantha and the team who dealt with us were friendly, knowledgeable and professional. They made the whole process much less stressful than we feared it might be and were a pleasure to deal with

Always understanding and professional

I have used various lawyers at Battens for about 7 years and would highly recommend them. They are all very well qualified and experienced and communicate well amongst themselves and with the client. They are also very understanding about the financial situation cases can result in and can offer plans to accommodate that.

I had an excellent experience working with Samantha Pattle on both the sale of my property and my onward purchase. Throughout what became a complex and at times challenging transaction, Samantha was consistently calm, clear and highly professional. Her communication was always prompt and straightforward, and she had a very steady, pragmatic approach which gave me a lot of confidence at key moments. What stood out most was her ability to remain composed under pressure and keep matters moving when things became uncertain. She provided sound, sensible advice throughout and ensured that everything progressed as smoothly as possible, ultimately getting both transactions exchanged successfully. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a reliable and capable solicitor, and I’m very grateful for her support.
