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."

Voluntary First Registration with Land Registry

Hannah provided an excellent service from the point of our first contact, when the process and cost were clearly explained, through to completion. She was always easily contactable with queries that arose along the way and dealt with these promptly and fully, paying particular attention to detail. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Conveyancing Made Difficult!

Marginally technical conveyance made extremely difficult but prolonged and unnesseccary enquiries which were never discussed with us. As a result our vender was close to putting the property back on the market.

We take all complaints seriously and have a rigorous complaints procedure to resolve any issues that our clients may have.

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!

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.
