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.
A representative from Biscoes Solicitors responded to this review on 20 January, 2025:
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. Sultana’s dedication, professionalism, and compassion are qualities we value deeply, and we’re delighted that she was able to provide you with the guidance and reassurance you needed throughout your asylum-seeking process. 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.

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.
A representative from Biscoes Solicitors responded to this review on 21 July, 2025:
Thank you, Annie, for sharing your experience. We're so pleased Stephanie and the Family Law team could provide the support, kindness, and skilled guidance you needed during such a difficult time. Your recommendation means a lot to us — wishing you all the best in your new chapter.

This review is for a different branch.
I initially approached BISCOES by 'phone to obtain a quote for independent legal advice for a post nuptial agreement, as it is local to me. I found it to be comparable with other quotes and it was made clear at the outset what work would be undertaken for the fee. The appointment was made quickly and at a convenient time. I attended the office for the initial consultation where Liam went through the document very carefully and fully explained the paragraphs with examples of possible scenarios. He recommended minor alterations to the document. I felt comfortable and unrushed and was kept informed as to the next steps by Liam in person and by e-mail via his secretary Caitlin. A further appointment was made swiftly when the final document was ready to be signed. The office is small and the staff welcoming, Liam is friendly and approachable and was very thorough. I wouldn't hesitate in using BISCOES again.
A representative from Biscoes Solicitors responded to this review on 07 July, 2025:
Dear Lynda, Thank you for sharing your detailed and positive experience with our team. We're delighted that Liam and Caitlin provided clear, thorough, and friendly support throughout your post-nuptial agreement process. Your kind words about our team and service mean a lot to us, and we look forward to assisting you again in the future. Best regards, Biscoes Legal Service

This review is for a different branch.
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.
A representative from Biscoes Solicitors responded to this review on 07 July, 2025:
Dear Lauren, Thank you for your thoughtful review. We’re glad Franca’s clear communication and strong approach helped achieve a positive outcome for you. It’s wonderful to hear how her caring and child-focused nature made a difference throughout your case. Best regards, Biscoes Legal Services

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.
A representative from Biscoes Solicitors responded to this review on 04 July, 2025:
Dear Freda, Thank you for your heartfelt feedback. We're so pleased to hear how much of a positive impact Franca had on your experience. Her insight, strength, and dedication to her clients truly set her apart. Your respect and appreciation mean a great deal. Best regards, Biscoes Legal Services

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.
