Stephanie inherited my account at a particularly difficult time in the proceedings. She was thorough, professional and quick to respond to any issues that were raised. I have total confidence that she would deal with my issues in a highly professional and prompt fashion and she certainly did not disappoint. I would have no hesitation in referring anyone to her.

From the first time I met Stephanie with my daughters about getting divorced I knew I had picked the right Solicitor. She was understanding of my situation, asked lots of questions but most importantly she listened to my answers. She made me feel heard and had guided me through one of the most difficult times of my life with excellent advice, patience and professionalism. I can't thank her enough.

Gail was very quick on the uptake, and gave me time to absorb the advice and calculations she laid out. The subsequent confirmation summary was very complete, with only a few minor corrections needed if we go forward; hardly surprising considering the amount of 'detail' I had to give!
I'm much more informed about the process and the court's approach.
(1. Feel free to quote the above. 2. Looking at the next survey box, perhaps for balance, there should be opposites available too ( not that any were needed ).

Stephanie has turned a very difficult divorce into an empowering experience for me.
Stephanie is very professional, yet friendly and caring. Her advice was grounding and instilled trust and confidence. I felt respected and supported throughout the whole process. Stephanie always kept me updated, explained ever step clearly and was reassuring when needed. I felt that she always had my best interest at heart.
Having her represent me in court gave me confidence and helped me navigate the very stressful and difficult experience with grace. Stephanie helped me negotiate the settlement, which was in my favour and higher than I expected.
A heartfelt 'thank you' to Stephanie for all her hard work and support. I would not be where I am today (a home owner) if it was not for her help. Do not look elsewhere. It is a worthwhile investment.

Awful experience. Considering she is purported to have domestic abuse experience she questioned my experience and lacked empathy. I was charged unnecessarily for certain things but did not have the capacity to argue it at the time. She spoke to and treated me so badly that I dreaded her calls but I was so vulnerable at the time and felt so deep in and concerned about the money spent that I persevered. I would not recommend her to domestic abuse related cases. I did not feel that she was working in my best interest because of how she spoke to and treated me. She gave me incorrect advice in the presence of a domestic abuse support worker and then later denied it, that incorrect advice cost me dearly in my case. In the end I did not trust anything she said. There were restraining orders in place to protect us but she said I could not claim anything against the fact that I was made to pay so much more due to no fault of my own, which I don't believe. The only positive was she encouraged a court order and she was efficient at the negotiating but I do wish I had gone elsewhere.

We used biscoes to help buy our first home and the service was amazing. We had a few complications near the end of the completion date and they stayed on top of the issue, Their consistent communication gave us peace of mind, and we never had any doubt throughout the process we can not thank Sam and Karen enough!

Having to deal with Biscoes solicitors (Stephanie Bellchambers) I have found them to be most unhelpful when asking for clarification and unprofessional.

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.
