Fantastic advise and guidance

I approached Steve after using another Solicitor who I was very unhappy with. When I initially contacted him and shared my details, he told me I needed to get my divorce finalised so that I could get on with the rest of my life.
I have to say, he was always really well prepared, knowledgeable, and clear in his advise. He always did what he said he would do and treated me with respect during a very difficult time in my life.
My divorce is now finalised and I am extremely happy with the work that he did on my behalf and the way that he did it.

Great service

My solicitor Steve Collett was very good from the first day. Kept me informed and made my situation very clear what needs to happen and guided me through the process very well. Felt comfortable trusting him with my situation and very happy with the service and expertise.

Steve Collett is outstanding.

I approached Steve with a Child & Family related issue and I couldn't have been happier with the service I received. From start to finish, Steve guided and supported me through a very challenging time. Steve's attention to detail and his insight to what appropriate steps would be best for me were fantastic. He was honest, reliable and contactable whenever I required. I would thoroughly recommend Steve as a solicitor. Thank you for all you did for my family and I Steve.

House sale and purchase 2022

Karen Arscott was fantastic, she helped my step-mum through a very tough sale following my fathers untimely passing at the beginning of the year, her help, advise and contact throughout the sale was amazing, Karen is without doubt one of the best, I would highly recommend her services.

The worst customer service!

If I could give no stars I would. The most incompetent solicitors I have ever used and I have used a few. We instructed them back in March and have done nothing but chase them since when it should have taken a matter of weeks to complete.

It took Chris 6 weeks to send a confirmation email and the only reason it was sent was because we rung weekly until it was. We have caught him out lying on more than one occasion and to top it off he still hasn’t completed what we have asked of him. I’m pretty certain solicitors shouldn’t be deceitful however in this occasion it seems to be standard procedure.

To make matters worse we are at the end of completing on our house purchase and he decides to take a weeks holiday leaving a young member of staff who hasn’t a clue what she is doing left to deal with our case. They sent out blank documents for us to sign and she hasn’t been able to follow simple instruction. I absolutely would never use this company again, their service is appalling and so is their customer care.

Divorce

I could not recommend this firm enough.
Very prompt, very clear in each step and exceptional advice throughout.
A really caring and approachable team, especially at such a difficult time.
Stephen has really been a rock to me throughout. He has given me clear and sound advice that I trusted. He helped guide me and support me to make difficult decisions, with always my best interests in the forefront.
I trusted all the advice I was given, even when I wasn't fully sure what to do and it definitely made my journey a lot less bumpy. I will always be greatful to such a wonderful solicitor.

Excellent so solicitor for divorce

Stephen was a rock to me over a very difficult time, offering support and honest advice that I trusted. He guided me through the minefield of a difficult divorce, explaining my legal rights and responsibilities in language I could understand. He was proactive when necessary and I valued his opinion when having to make difficult and costly decisions. I would not hesitate to recommend him, as trust you will be in good hands.

Amazing service from start to finish!

I had a very difficult house sale/purchase and there were several times I thought it was going to go wrong.
Karen Arscott, my solicitor at Bate & Albon made the entire experience as pain free as possible. I asked lots of, what I am sure were stupid, questions and she never, ever minded. She came back to me sympathetically professionally, punctually and somehow managed to keep my calm throughout.
I have recommended her to several of my friends already and will absolutely use her again if I move (which I will not);
