Disability discrimination

This review is for a different branch.

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

This review is for a different branch.

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

This review is for a different branch.

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.

Thankful for Ben & Leah's Representation and Unwavering Support

This review is for a different branch.

I recently had the fortune of being represented by Ben Barber and Leah Heckles, who not only won my case but also did so with a level of professionalism and commitment that was truly remarkable. Their strategic approach and meticulous attention to detail set them apart from the outset. They demonstrated unwavering support throughout this challenging time, providing legal expertise and a much-needed sense of relief.

Ben's readiness to answer any questions and his genuine kindness helped alleviate much of the stress associated with my case. He was clearly not just working on a case but was dedicated to supporting me through an extremely difficult period, for which I am deeply grateful.

Ben's hard work, patience, and unwavering dedication were instrumental in achieving a favourable outcome. His ability to negotiate a settlement efficiently was invaluable, and he achieved double the original settlement offer made to me. It's rare to find someone who not only excels professionally but also provides a level of personal support and kindness that truly makes a difference.

I am immensely thankful for everything Ben, Leah, and the staff at BG Solicitors have done. I recommend Ben and Leah to anyone who needs a friendly, approachable, and diligent solicitor.

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.
