    Efficient Friendly Service

    Brad helped us with a purchase which we thought would be a complicated and lengthy process. However, from the start we have received a very friendly and efficient service with excellent communication throughout. Elements of the purchase process which we didn’t understand were explained and we guided through to ensure we did everything correctly. We are very happy with our experience with Brad and BG Solicitors. .

    Great efficient service

    High recommend. Brad handled the purchase of our freehold with professionalism and expertise throughout. From the outset, he clearly explained what was required, what to expect, and the steps involved, ensuring we were fully informed at every stage. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and prompt responses whenever needed. His thorough approach and attention to detail made what could have been a complex process straightforward and easy to understand. Brad guided us through each stage with confidence, making the transaction smooth and stress-free. I would not hesitate to recommend Brad to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and professional service.

    We used BG solicitors for will writing (Miriam) & conveyancing (Bradley & James) received great advice and outstanding service from everyone. I've moved house several times and never had a solicitor so responsive. Any questions were answered same day, there was a portal to keep up to date with progress. When things got sticky enquiries were made promptly. With our will writing everything is fully explained and any questions answered. I am fully confident we now have the right protections for our family. Fees are competitive, there are 5 office across the Hunber region Hessle, Barton, Scunthorpe, Grimsby and Louth so easy to pop in for appointnents or to drop off/collect. I would highly recommend

    I would like to express our sincere thanks to Emma Hudson and Brad Whiteley at BG Solicitors in Grimsby. It was always going to be a fraught transaction due to the timescale that we had to work to. In addition to this, the onerous requirements of other parties. However Emma was calm and persevered to enable a successful completion on the deadline. Thankyou so much.

    TERRIBLE. Avoid this firm. Unhelpful and unresponsive staff who don't even follow their own formal complaints procedure, and when they do, only say what they need to to cover their backs if the SRA got involved. I was given a new solicitor and didn't even know their name for 2 and a half months, it wasn't until I mentioned pulling out of the sale that they got in touch. Weird! The negative reviews do not lie.

    CUSTOMERS BEWARE After I have use this company for many years and had fantastic service from Georgina Gibbon I will say that where it stops. As Georgia suddenly had a disagreement and left the company one of my sales had gone to the grimsby office which I was very dubious of as poor service from there is an understatement. Ben Barber (Partner) had recently acted for me in a litigation case for me to which because he was o leave Laura Nee (Partner) represented me in court and to say the judge was not happy was an understatement as he told her how badly she was prepared for the day and that she had not even read the file to which she then went on to blame Ben Barber to me say she had what she had. I found her blame culture to be something I have heard in the school playground when nothing was her fault when Infact i have never been so poorly represented. So as they have wrongly deducted money from funds of the sale of the land that has taken forever to complete then I have been left with no option than to take Ben Barber and BG Solicitors to court to recover my money. So in a nut shell this is not a company I would recommend and I would advise you to read the bad reviews before your intrust your sale of a property and any foam of litigation with this company.

      Very professional and swift service

      Someone who has never been through the redundancy process or had to seek a solicitor, my experience was very positive from sourcing BG Solicitor to meeting and speaking with Leah. My case was dealt with the up most professionalism and compassion. Leah explained everything to me very clearly and also highlighted to me what was missing and referred back to my previous employer with changes that should be made. I was very happy with my experience at BG Solicitors LLP and would be very happy to referring anyone who is seeking a Solicitor. Thank you for everything, it is much appreciated.

      Excellent service from BG solicitors LLP

      From day one both Micheal and Darcie have been excellent. They will take time to talk you through the process, they also make themselves available to assist you. One example Micheal was on a weeks holiday and yet he still took time to answer are questions that we had, plus he always keeps us up-to-date with how the case was going. They are both very friendly people and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing legal advice.

      Legal Advice- Home sale & Declaration of Trust

      I recently used Ben at BG Solicitors LLP for legal advice regarding a complex declaration of trust with an ex-partner, as well as securing a fair split of our joint property sale. Over the course of 6 months, Ben provided exceptional service, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From our very first meeting, Ben demonstrated a high level of knowledge that immediately put my mind at ease during a stressful time. He provided clear, honest advice and was always a great communicator, keeping me updated at every stage. I am happy with the final split, especially since I initially worried I might end up with an amount less than what was fair. The entire matter was handled in a professional yet friendly manner. Ben was incredibly timely and proactive, ensuring everything progressed smoothly to protect my interests. Thanks to his dedication, I achieved a fantastic outcome. I would highly recommend Ben and BG Solicitors LLP to anyone needing expert legal assistance.

      Nice place, if a little pricey. But most solicitors are these days, though these seem to be the cheapest around. Stairs are a little difficult for people with mobility issues, but they do have a disabled entrance,which is a nice touch.

      from BG Solicitors LLP

      We appreciate your honest thoughts on our pricing and are glad we could offer competitive rates for your matter. We also take note of your comments regarding accessibility; while our historic stairs can pose a challenge, we are pleased that our dedicated step-free entrance made your visit more comfortable.
