"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.

This review was submitted by a verified client of Battens Solicitors Limited.
Exact requirements for the revision of our wills were not carried out. On the first draft our youngest of our three sons was totally cut out of the will. On the second draft there was yet another error which would have meant that son’s portion would not have come to his son if our son predeceased us. Meaning that portion would have been divided with all the other grandchildren. Not what was very clearly requested in writing on our first discussion. No very professional.
