I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for the exceptional support and guidance provided by Solicitor Sultana Ali from Biscoes Law Firm during my asylum-seeking process. Despite being relatively young, Sultana's extensive experience and remarkable intelligence were evident throughout my case.
She demonstrated an unwavering commitment to my situation, working with a level of professionalism and dedication that far exceeded my expectations.
Her compassionate and client-centered approach was incredibly reassuring during such a challenging time. She consistently maintained open and prompt communication, responding to my concerns and queries with care and attentiveness. Sultana’s professional conduct, combined with her empathy and determination to achieve the best possible outcome for her clients, is truly commendable.
I cannot thank Sultana enough for her outstanding efforts and for being a source of strength and guidance during one of the most critical periods of my life. I wholeheartedly recommend her and Biscoes Law Firm to anyone seeking skilled, compassionate, and dedicated legal representation.

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful review. We are truly honored to have been able to support you through such a crucial and challenging time.

Your trust in Sultana and our team means the world to us. It’s clients like you who make our work so rewarding, and we’re so glad we could be part of your journey. Thank you once again for your heartfelt recommendation, and should you need any further assistance, we’ll always be here for you.

Just to let you know, I wouldn't recommend Franca to any one on legal aid.
She has been an awful representative for me.
Unless you are born with ones silver spoon in ones mouth, Franca will treat you like benefit .
Franca is an awful solicitor and the fact that people pay her money to act for them, completely baffles me!
Franca Webb and Caroline Weller are a joke as far as the legal system works.
They have both, repeatedly acted on ones high horse.
It's a terrible situation someone might find themselves in, but, rest assured, Franca will know the family judge and will make sure you fail! Some might call it a conflict of interest..but if you're Franca, she's happy to see you lose.
This company doesn't care a jot about the people begging for legal aid.
So, if you want to hate yourself just a little bit more..go to Biscoes 😊

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!

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.
