"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."

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.

Had to deal with so many different staff members after an excellent legal assisrant became ill. All rather impersonal. Hoped for a solicitor in town but found I was apportioned one some miles away.
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 note from your file that when your original adviser left the firm, your file passed to a new adviser to assist you, who was based in a different office. You were then enabled to meet in person with an additional adviser to sign the documents at an office location more convenient to you. We had hoped that this would be advantageous to you but are sorry to hear you have concerns around these arrangements. We always work hard to resolve any issues that our clients may have and have a rigorous complaints procedure in place to enable clients to raise their concerns with us so that we can address them. If you would like to follow this further, please contact the firm’s Complaints Officer, Katherine Gilmour at katherine.gilmour@battens.co.uk. Kind regards, Battens Solicitors

Sarah recently managed a very tricky house sale for us. Always professional, always calm - even when we were tearing our hair out in frustration! Sarah and her team have helped us on many occasions and she is always there to pick up the phone when you need help, advice or reassurance. Communication is key and she doesn’t disappoint.

A refreshing change to a number of solicitors that I have previously encountered. During an extremely protracted sale, Jen Haynor always kept me informed as to the many obstacles put in the way of progressing the sale. She responded to my many communications in a timely way, and offered clear advice throughout the process. A breath of fresh air! Great work Jen.

Needed a document signing witnessed at short notice and Battens were happy to help and fitted me in quickly. Thank you!
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.
