Disability discrimination

B&G Solicitors provided exceptional support throughout a lengthy case alongside my personal injury claim. They were incredibly patient, understanding, and willing to delay proceedings on their end to ensure the best outcome for me. Their personal and compassionate approach made a huge difference during an extremely traumatic time. I couldn’t have asked for better help.

Exceptional Sale and Purchase Service

I was advised by a friend to use BG as he's a property developer and has used their business for many years. From my initial telephone call right through to the completion of my sale and purchase Helen Kent and her team have been nothing short of exceptional. The entire process was swift and the whole team are knowledgeable and helpful. No question or query is ever too difficult to get answered and response is quick and easy to understand. We've been in our new house for a little under a month, but should the situation arise again, when we require a conveyancing expert, we will definitely be contacting BG and Helen Kent. Thank you all so much for all your support and expertise throughout the entire process.

London house purchase

Helen was recommended to us by a family friend so we made contact regarding an house purchase in SE London that we wanted to complete quickly.
Helen and her team were quick, diligent and accomplished everything we needed to get done, and on time. We could not be more happy with Helen’s first rate service.

TERRIBLE. Avoid this firm. Unhelpful and unresponsive staff who don't even follow their own formal complaints procedure, and when they do, only say what they need to to cover their backs if the SRA got involved. I was given a new solicitor and didn't even know their name for 2 and a half months, it wasn't until I mentioned pulling out of the sale that they got in touch. Weird! The negative reviews do not lie.

Appalling service!!
I’m writing this a few years after the traumatic experience.
Very distressing time, lack of communication
and empathy
Everything was eventually sorted, but not in the profesional way that I would have expected.
Wouldn’t use them ever again.

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.
