Tina Tippett, ably assisted by Cathy Morgan, handled my mother's house sale impeccably. A house sale is always stressful so it was great to have an exceptional team on side. Highly recommended

This law firm failed at vital moments of their 'representation' of me by failing to submit a Defence Statement form in a case heard at Yeovil County Court .
If they had submitted the page of the Defence response, I might have stood a chance of avoiding a Bankruptcy order.
A complaint has gone to the Legal Ombudsman and I will find it somewhat baffling if the Ombudsman's conclusions are not fully in my favour when they have completed their investigation.

After years of good service, Battens has let us down. A week to open a file. Another week lost because the responsible person was on unannounced annual leave and did not get someone else to stand in and advance the matter. The managing director apologised, but does not agree such delay is important.

Jen Haynor managed our house conveyancing along with Anne Kendall both were very efficient knowledgable, helpful and effectively handled issues as they arose and in doing so provided sound advice.
Our contact with Battens began with Adam Hillier when my mother in law died and it was his helpful and professional approach which led to us instructing Battens to subsequently manage our house conveyancing. I would have no hesitation in recommending Battens in the area they have acted for us

The case was a building dispute where poor building work was being held to account under the Sale of Goods Act. What should have been a simple and easy case (even the defendant admitted they would lose) was badly managed with poor communication and a lacklustre approach resulting in a substantial loss of costs against what was spent to secure damages of only 64% of the initial claim. I can't comment on the competence displayed but it was not a successful outcome despite winning the case.

We have used Battens for almost thirty years and could not be happier with the service we have received. They are still our solicitors of choice, despite the fact we moved to London in 2005. A deed of variation on a previous loan agreement was just drawn up by Brian Levine. He was responsive, patient and incredibly efficient. Done and dusted in no time. Kudos!

We wholeheartedly recommend Battens following our excellent experience during house conveyancing. In particular, we'd like to thank and praise Mo Byers for her efficiency, attention to detail and all round great service. She is also lovely! She made everything extremely easy and stress-free for us.

I cannot rate Samantha Pattle highly enough, she has been amazing from start to finish! Samantha has always been efficient, easy to talk to and will explain the legal lingo in simple terms when asked and it's never a problem. I would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling - I always felt at ease in such good hands without any stress due to Sam's professionalism and attention to detail. This has been my second time using Samantha and I will definitely use her again and would recommend to anyone I know.

Battens (Ross Siviter) were recommended to us and he has been great. He handled our house sale and bungalow purchase very professionally and efficiently. He was reassuring when our buyer had a number of questions to ask of us.
Highly recommended!

My experience with Battens to sell my house was clear, prompt and professional. I was so grateful to feel confidence in this key service at a very difficult time. I can't imagine why anyone would chose an online service over this. Worth every penny

Reply from Battens Solicitors
My personal injury claim was handled in a timely manner, professionally and with clear communication. I knew what to expect and exactly where we were in terms of progress. The compensation was greater than I expected, entirely due to Battens’ negotiating skill. Above all, it was a personal service with a one to one relationship with my Associate.

Reliable and efficient. Battens got straight to the legal point quickly & clearly with a v poor rental agent looking after our rental properties - and achieved a good result. No worrying. Sorted within 2weeks. Charming people too. The best.

I worked with Samantha and her team in relation to some conveyancing work. They dealt with my case professionally and effectively and I felt confident throughout that I would get the result I wanted, which I did. Will happily recommend Battens.
