I have used Battens for both my house sales and my will. Always felt looked after and they have been very efficient
First class brilliant conveyancing for us, extremely diligent and hard working. Both Michelle and Leia were warm and understanding making the process the least stressful and the most pleasurable move we have ever done thanks.

Sarah Jackson was amazing from start to finish, supporting, advising and guiding me through all the stages of a long and difficult divorce process. Sarah was professional, sympathetic, understanding yet clear and fair at each stage. Sarah explained each step clearly and worked at my pace throughout. I would not be where I am now, stepping into a new chapter, without her. For that I am very grateful and I can't recommend Sarah enough. Thank you.

Isabelle Day and Georgina Bacon were so knowledgeable and supportive. They always kept me informed and I was always able to speak to either of them when I needed clarification on things. I would highly recommend Battens!

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.

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.

Not good . Took too long . Lots of inaccuracies. One case very simple the other more complicated. Had previously had a good experience with the company but this was then reversed.

This review was submitted by a verified client of Battens Solicitors Limited.
Used Battens for the conveyancing of a house sale. Everything was pretty straightforward, so not excatly a challenge for them, but I have no complaints. It was handy to have a physical, local office to drop things into whilst also being able to do many things online. A little more expensive than some competitors (esp. for dealing solely with a paralegal rather than a solicitor), but maybe you get what you pay for.

Battens have been my solicitors from many years, dealing with all kinds of law issues for me. My recent dealings have been with Emily Franklin who is a very pleasant young lady who has dealt with all my matters in an excellent way and I would highly recommend her together with all the solicitors who have served me over the years

We would highly recommend Cate Barnes for conveyancing at the Dorchester branch of Battens. Her professionalism and attention to detail made the selling and buying process seamless within a very pleasing time scale. Thank you Cate.
