    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.

      Excellent service from start to finish!

      Jodie and Laura at BG have been absolutely outstanding with their service when dealing with the sale of our property. Right from the start, we have been kept informed super effectively and every update has been conveyed to us promptly. I cannot thank Jodie & Laura and the BG team enough, and would highly recommend.

      Excellent advice and help from Denise

      When we had to serve a Section 21 notice on a tenant Denise gave very good and clear advice and dealt with the work required very quickly. The rules around such matters was just changing and as such it was new territory for everyone but Denise was on top of the issues and gave us a lot of confidence. She was very flexible over timescales for potential further work which saved us money in the long run.

      We were working to a very tight deadline as executors of my parents estate, and Greg went out of his way to deal with a mountain of enquieries form the buyers solicitors, and was always at the end of the telephone to help us imediately with any questions we had.

      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
