"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."

This review was submitted by a verified client of Battens Solicitors Limited.
I was looking for advice and strategy help at the beginning of my divorce. Advice given was generic, felt quite out-dated, under prepared for (given 2 phonecalls and an information form being completed) and in reality I took no comfort from this meeting and follow up letter. I found chat gpt to be more helpful and a significantly better resource in many respects. I am certain there was nothing incorrect in their legal description of 'what normally happens in a divorce' and 'how a divorce works and is structured' but this information is freely available online. I was looking for specific help and advice on my personal strategy going forwards. In addition, the process of booking the appointment, going through the admin of the money laundering, multiple phone calls, form filling and paying upfront was cumbersome. I also tried to book directly through the website using one of the solicitors email addresses listed but I was told my email 'got lost in the system', which created an extended delay. Overall, it was a really difficult experience in a really tough time.

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.

Battens have been such a pleasure to deal with and have made the whole divorce process and all the other aspects along with it a smooth and relatively stress free. They are professional, compassionate and helpful and I can't thank them enough for all the hard work they have put in and for resolving everything for me.

We felt that Nicola Pugsley looked after us very well in the purchase of a flat for our autistic son. Unfortunately, the seller lied on the Law Society Property Information Form, so now we will probably have to sell the flat again with great financial loss (tens of thousands of pounds) and emotional upset. The Law Society Property Information Form is not fit for purpose.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for your kind comments about the service you received from our team. The Property Information Form forms part of the conveyancing process but we are sorry that your overall experience has been affected by issues arising after completion. Kind regards, Battens Solicitors

I found Emily’s work for me was efficient and professional at every stage. She kept me informed at all stages of the process and it was all completed very satisfactorily. I would definitely use Battens for any legal service which I needed.

I cannot recommend Sarah and her assistant Daniel highly enough. They have handled several conveyancing tasks for me, and have always provided an excellent service.

Naomi and Hannah were amazing throughout my whole journey! I was in the best hands. They got back to me in such a timely manner. Naomi answered all my questions, queries and any worries. I was kept in the loop at all times. They chased the sellers sols when needed and really made the whole process so easy and smooth. Would HIGHLY recommend!! 10/10
