Poor communication and stressful experience

This review is for a different branch.

Unfortunately I would not recommend BG Solicitors. I had a very stressful experience as their client.
Key documents were delayed due to avoidable errors, communication was poor throughout, and important details were overlooked, causing unnecessary stress and additional costs. I also experienced a complete lack of updates during a critical stage of the process, which impacted my relationship with my buyer. Overall, the service I received was lacking in many areas, so I would not recommend based on my experience.

Sale of multi-generational victorian property

This review is for a different branch.

My family has used BG for 3 generations. After some changes in solicitor (some unavoidable) Michaela steadied the ship with the help of Charlotte and later Wendy. I live overseas and the single most important thing to me was good communication and Wendy didn't miss a single email keeping me updated. Very happy with team Michaela and Wendy. So thankful this sale is now behind me. They were a calming unfluence during a very stressful time.

Accelerated Possession Proceedings

Unfortunately, I had to pursue the above matter via the legal path and approached BG Solicitors LLP. Once assigned to the case, Denise Bell was excellent. Her actions were prompt, clear and helpful. It was also possible to speak to her directly when needed, and I found her to be very approachable. So, for matters of this nature, I have no hesitation of recommending Denise or BG Solicitors.

We’ll continue to use and will always recommend Helen if you need conveyancing work. She’s incredibly helpful and makes everything seem simple, despite complicated legal processes. She’s also very fast and kept everything moving at pace. Thanks again to Helen and Julie!

Having never been in this situation before I found myself needing legal advice to ensure what I have been doing was correct and to obtain knowledge of how things would progress.
Leah from BG Solicitors LLP gave me just the advice and reassurance I needed. She was clear and precise with what to expect and gave valuable knowledge on the court proceedings that would take place. Thank you Leah, you certainly stopped my sleepless nights.

I've worked with the team a few times. They really responsive, and clear communicators. Also they're happy to adopt a few modern technologies to make onboarding and getting work done fast. Got a piece of work done against a totally unreasonable deadline. Highly recommend.

About this branch

Description

BG Solicitors is one of the oldest established practices in Grimsby, set up by the late Mr Tom Beetenson on 1st January 1944. He was joined in 1953 by Lawrence Gibbon and their initials still remain as the name of our firm. Since those early days, the Practice has grown steadily and is now one of the largest and most respected in the area. Our clients, both private and commercial, demand a first-class legal service, and through our commitment to quality standards throughout all areas of the practice, we ensure that’s exactly what they receive. The original BG base in Grimsby remains our largest office space, occupying a convenient central location with excellent access to public transport as well as nearby parking. In 2007 we incorporated the business and staff of Louth based Scammell & Braithwaite into BG Solicitors LLP and acquired our first satellite office. The merging of this well-respected firm into our own means that we now have a central Louth office, serving the needs of not only the local Louth clients but also those from the many surrounding villages.
