    Divorce Process

    I was assisted through the divorce process by Barbara Richardson at BSG Solicitors. Barbara’s advice at critical junctures was invaluable and timely and her calm and quiet self assurance inspired a confidence to move forward positively in what was a very difficult, stressful and potentially volatile situation. Barbara is a great advocate in resolving conflict through dialogue and she was always prepared to progress through the process at a speed relevant to the situation presented. I would highly recommend Barbara.

      Absolutely Amazing

      We would love to thank Sophie, Julia, Jane and all the team at BSG Preston. Absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Moving house is a stressful time but everyone was so helpful, always on hand to answer queries, and always a prompt response if we contacted the office by email or telephone. We always felt we knew what stage we were at in the process as we were always kept up to date with the progress. Very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Everything was dealt with perfectly and explained to us clearly. We would highly recommend the team at Preston to anyone and really cannot thank them enough for all their hard work and patience to get us into our new home.

      We were delighted with the conveyancing service received by bsg recently, especially as the house sale required first registration owing to lost deeds. Sophie and her team were professional and approachable at all times, and the advice given was spot on. This was all done at long distance, but nothing was too much trouble for them. I would recommend bsg to others and intend to use them again for conveyancing when the time comes.

      Many thanks for leaving a review which is much appreciated. We look forward working with you again in the future.

      I have used Pippa before when I was a first time buyer and she was brilliant then. The time come after nearly 10 years to move and I knew I wanted to use Pippa again. She was great the first time, but honestly her and Jodi have been fantastic this time. Pippa I cannot thank you and your team enough, you’ve listened to me rant, cry down the phone to you and ask a million and 1 questions! If your looking for a brilliant solicitor who will take the time and go through the whole process with with. Pippa is your person! Thank you!
