A first class service.

A very efficient & professional service was provided by Naomi & Hannah during the sale of a bungalow that formed part of an estate I was the executor for. All queries were dealt with promptly and I was kept fully informed of progress throughout the sale process. I would have no hesitation in using them again or recommending them to others.

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.

Following the death of my husband, I have left three messages for someone to call me about his will. I have heard nothing, to date. Very disappointed, as we have previously had good service.

I had an excellent experience working with Samantha Pattle on both the sale of my property and my onward purchase. Throughout what became a complex and at times challenging transaction, Samantha was consistently calm, clear and highly professional. Her communication was always prompt and straightforward, and she had a very steady, pragmatic approach which gave me a lot of confidence at key moments. What stood out most was her ability to remain composed under pressure and keep matters moving when things became uncertain. She provided sound, sensible advice throughout and ensured that everything progressed as smoothly as possible, ultimately getting both transactions exchanged successfully. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a reliable and capable solicitor, and I’m very grateful for her support.
