Dear Sultana Ma'am,

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for all your efforts in securing my successful refugee status. Your dedication, expertise, and unwavering support throughout the process have been invaluable, and I am truly grateful for everything you have done for me.

I am pleased to inform you that I have received letter of my granted refugee status, and I am deeply relieved and grateful for this positive outcome. Your professionalism and commitment have made a significant difference in my life, and I cannot thank you enough.
Once again, thank you for your outstanding work and for guiding me through this challenging journey. I am forever indebted to you for helping me secure a brighter future.

Warm regards,

Home Insurance issue

Although Biscoes could help me in house they were diligent enough to advise us on where to take our problem. Really help people with considerate approach to people similar to ourselves who don't deal with Solicitors that often.

Clear advice and friendly

Booked an advice meeting with Biscoes. I went into the meeting uneasy and not really sure what I was looking for. I found the solicitor very easy to talk to, she asked all the right questions to get the information from me to give me clear and honest advice.

Very corrupt solicitors. They have committed perjury in the courts a few years ago and are still failing to cover up their perjury. They have knowingly falsified legal aid claims to scam money out of the government and the taxpayer. Which is a common practise which all corrupt solicitors do. For this reason I give these solicitors -10.

About this branch

Description

Historically, the longserving Portsmouth based firms of Biscoe Smith, Heather and Bellinger, Cousins Burbidge & Connor and Lyndhurst Groves merged in 1994 to form Biscoes Cousins Groves. In 2004 in the Firm's 150th year, Biscoes absorbed Wilkinson & Co and merged with King and Franckeiss, both well respected local firms. Subsequently in 2005 a merger with Covers added a Petersfield office to an already impressive list of locations, which was closely followed by the opening of an office in Gosport. In 2006 a Portchester branch was created following the link up with the long established practice of Barry Swanton & Co. In 2018 Biscoes merged with Gurney Champion & Co & Heyes Saumuel in Ryde, Isle of Wight. Biscoes continues to move confidently into the 21st Century, whilst remaining steadfastly committed to the provision of a traditional and locally based legal service. Located in offices close to you. Emergency and home appointments are available in certain cases. We are here to help you with all your legal requirements and offer a comprehensive range of legal services. We pride ourselves in providing a professional approach in a friendly environment.
