Family Law

Excellent legal guidance and advice to parents of children in pre-proceedings

"All the solicitors at Battens have been responsive to parents and to me as the parent's advocate. But I would commend Georgina Bacon in particular for her professional compassion, clear advice and her excellent easier to read summaries after meetings or court hearings."

My appointment at Battens

I have recently moved to this area of Dorset and needed to make a new will. I went online to see a list of solicitors in the Bridport area. The reviews for Battens encouraged me to make an appointment. The whole experience was made very easy by the friendly, helpful and professional staff. Every point was discussed and I was given good, solid and honest advice. At no point was I made to feel that I had made the wrong choice of solicitors, if I ever need legal advice in the future I will have no hesitation in going back to Battens.

Jason and the Battens team have been brilliant during our recent house purchase. Jason is really personable and was always on the other end of the phone if we had any questions. The whole process was really smooth and communication was great. We would 100% recommend them and use them again.

Really poor service. Reactive rather than proactive. Lethargic and unenthusiastic. Wasted 2 years with Battens.

We are sorry to hear that you were unhappy with some aspects of our service as we pride ourselves on our high levels of customer care and satisfaction. We always work hard to resolve any issues that our clients may have and have a rigorous complaints procedure in place enable clients to raise their concerns with us so that we can address them. If you would like to follow this, please contact the firm’s Complaints Officer, Katherine Gilmour at katherine.gilmour@battens.co.uk. Kind regards, Battens Solicitors
