Sale of inherited house

Marissa and her team acted in the sale of my mother in laws house after Alice at Biscoes had dealt with the probate application, I was one of 3 executors. From the start right to completion they were very professional and thorough, keeping us all informed at all stages, either by email or telephone call.
Their fees maybe slightly higher than the conveyancing companies which I have used before but I am pleased we chose Biscoes, we had a personal touch and alway had someone to speak to who was knowledgeable about the case.

Charged thousands of pounds, then they ghosted us

We engaged Biscoes to help with an employment law issue. They charged to review the case and send letters. They then stopped replying to our emails and refused to return calls. We had to engage another firm and pay for them to review all the documents and start again.

Highly recommend Stephanie

Going through my divorce was the most stressful period of my life, but Stephanie made a really tough process much more manageable. She was always kind, approachable, and clearly very good at what she does.

She kept me informed throughout, listened to what I needed, and negotiated a really good outcome for me. I felt supported every step of the way, and now ready to start this new chapter in my life.

I’d happily recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much Stephanie.

Franca is realistic, fair and reasonable!

Initially I found Franca to be slightly abrupt, but as time has gone on I have respected this and she has always set my expectations from court to so I'm realistic about what's achievable. She set clear boundaries with the other party, and showed strength which helped me to do the same.

I really appreciate her and everything she had done to help my case. The outcome we achieved was very good and I'm pleased I chose Franca to represent me.

If you take the time to be friendly and get to know her style, she will repay your with kindness and her caring nature. She is child focused over anything else, a fantastic family lawyer.

Thank you again for everything.

All the strength you will need.

Franca with her many years experience is like the British version of watching Judge Judy. She knows her customers and can smell a Rat from far. She is firm but fair. She cares about her clients and gives them or at least me the strength to speak and see things clearly. I will truest be greatful and have ALOT of respect for Franca.

Very corrupt solicitors. They have committed perjury in the courts a few years ago and are still failing to cover up their perjury. They have knowingly falsified legal aid claims to scam money out of the government and the taxpayer. Which is a common practise which all corrupt solicitors do. For this reason I give these solicitors -10.

About this branch

Description

Historically, the longserving Portsmouth based firms of Biscoe Smith, Heather and Bellinger, Cousins Burbidge & Connor and Lyndhurst Groves merged in 1994 to form Biscoes Cousins Groves. In 2004 in the Firm's 150th year, Biscoes absorbed Wilkinson & Co and merged with King and Franckeiss, both well respected local firms. Subsequently in 2005 a merger with Covers added a Petersfield office to an already impressive list of locations, which was closely followed by the opening of an office in Gosport. In 2006 a Portchester branch was created following the link up with the long established practice of Barry Swanton & Co. In 2018 Biscoes merged with Gurney Champion & Co & Heyes Saumuel in Ryde, Isle of Wight. Biscoes continues to move confidently into the 21st Century, whilst remaining steadfastly committed to the provision of a traditional and locally based legal service. Located in offices close to you. Emergency and home appointments are available in certain cases. We are here to help you with all your legal requirements and offer a comprehensive range of legal services. We pride ourselves in providing a professional approach in a friendly environment.
