Matter Type: Wills
Recently dealt with Liyen Edin at the Portsmouth Office to sort out our Will. I must say she acted with true professionalism and patience giving my wife and I all the time we needed to agree and advice to assit us.
I'd throughtly reccommend Liyen and Biscoes for Wills and would go to them for anything legal I need in the future. Thank you.

I recently received help from India Jefferson-Grant, at Biscoes and was immediately at ease with a very difficult situation. The communication and knowledge was astounding and it was such a pleasure to work with someone so friendly and understanding.
I would recommend Biscoes for their great legal knowledge and their honest, efficient service. The clear and practical advice helped win my case and I would definitely approach them again if I ever needed to.

Matter Type: Residential Conveyancing
Thank you for your continued support and client care during a lengthy and challenging purchase. If it hadn't been for their professionalism and for Melanie's, calm confident and practical support. There were days I thought I would loose the house and I was buying because of delays in the chain. They were brilliant at communicating with others in the chain and creating solutions.
I can't thank the team enough for all their hard work.

Matter Type: Disputed Wills
After meeting with Kevin Richardson, I immediately felt at ease as he explained a lot of the jargon that I did not understand. He also gave me some additional advice that I had not thought of which made a huge difference as it meant that I have now arranged less work for my children to deal with later in life. Kevin is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced in his field and I would absolutely recommend him to friends/family in the future. Thank you Kevin for your advice and support during what was a very stressful event in my life. I remain very grateful.

Matter Type: Notary
Biscoes came to the rescue when I needed urgent notarising of legal documents for dealing with a property settlement overseas. With many legal staff working remotely during the lockdown I was apprehensive of finding a Notary who would not only certify my signature but also arrange for the documents to be apostilled by the Foreign Office. Sam Willett seamlessly organised my meeting with Robin in the office car park to witness my signature. Robin had already checked the documentation and established the signing requirements from the overseas solicitors. The documents were forwarded to London for the apostillation and returned duly executed within a fortnight. Both Sam and Robin were a pleasure to deal with. I would recommend Biscoes Notary services without hesitation and would definitely consider them for other legal work

Matter Type: Option agreements and conditional contracts
We dealt with Biscoes for our first time house purchase. From start to finish they were welcoming, thorough and professional with step by step communication throughout the entire process.
Would not hesitate in using them again for anything we needed.

Matter Type: Statutory Demands
I lost my father last year and we were estrange to each other however as his only child I pursue to find out if I was in the will and contest it if I wasn’t. The solicitor that dealt with my case I felt was cold and didn’t really care to help me just another billable hour. I put an retainer £500 however when didn’t pursue the case the charges exceed the amount agreed! I asked for a breakdown but the charges laid out wasn’t explain properly and I feel it’s unfair when you charge for just replying to email on information they asked for! I somewhat find myself partly to blame as I was still grieving and didn’t do my research in finding decent family law solicitors. My future business will not be given to biscoes.

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.
