    We were recommended to BSG when our mum passed away and we needed support with the probate process. From our first contact we felt confident we were in good hands at this difficult time. Our solicitor was very knowledgeable, approachable and maintained good contact with us. She was always available to answer our queries and offer reassurance. We received an excellent service from BSG.

    I consulted Emma at BSG to see if we needed new wills and whether to put an investment into trust for our daughters. Emma was so approachable and immediately put me at my ease. She was wonderful and her advice invaluable which allowed me to make my decisions. Emma is extremely pleasant, professional and knowledgeable and I can’t praise her enough. She made the whole process easy for me and I’ll highly recommend Emma to family and friends for her excellent service. Thank you Emma

    Absolutely Wonderfull Team of Practitioners at BSG Law. A Team of Lady only Partners. They Handled My Late Aunties will from BSG Law Lancaster. Futhermore the conveyancing Teams at BSG Law Preston handled a swift sale of estate for My Uncle and Dad. They are quite competitive compared to other Law Firms. I would recommend to anybody looking for a professional and competent Law Firm. Mo jnr. Bolton Lancashire.

      BSG recently did the conveyancing for our sale and purchase of property. Pippa Weld- Blundell, Jodi and the team were excellent being highly responsive and accessible. Our estate agent also commented on how easy they were to work with. Thoroughly recommended.

      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!
