My family has used BG for 3 generations. After some changes in solicitor (some unavoidable) Michaela steadied the ship with the help of Charlotte and later Wendy. I live overseas and the single most important thing to me was good communication and Wendy didn't miss a single email keeping me updated. Very happy with team Michaela and Wendy. So thankful this sale is now behind me. They were a calming unfluence during a very stressful time.
A representative from Bg Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 13 June, 2025:
Hi Richard. Thank you for your wonderful feedback and for trusting BG across three generations! We’re so pleased Michaela, Charlotte, and Wendy provided the steady support and clear communication you needed, especially from overseas. It means a lot to know we could help ease your stress during this time. Wishing you all the best moving forward!

Unfortunately, I had to pursue the above matter via the legal path and approached BG Solicitors LLP. Once assigned to the case, Denise Bell was excellent. Her actions were prompt, clear and helpful. It was also possible to speak to her directly when needed, and I found her to be very approachable. So, for matters of this nature, I have no hesitation of recommending Denise or BG Solicitors.
A representative from Bg Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 25 April, 2025:
Thank you for your kind feedback, Darryl. We're pleased to hear that Denise provided you with prompt and helpful support. We truly appreciate your recommendation!

Having never been in this situation before I found myself needing legal advice to ensure what I have been doing was correct and to obtain knowledge of how things would progress.
Leah from BG Solicitors LLP gave me just the advice and reassurance I needed. She was clear and precise with what to expect and gave valuable knowledge on the court proceedings that would take place. Thank you Leah, you certainly stopped my sleepless nights.

I would like to express our sincere thanks to Emma Hudson and Brad Whiteley at BG Solicitors in Grimsby. It was always going to be a fraught transaction due to the timescale that we had to work to. In addition to this, the onerous requirements of other parties. However Emma was calm and persevered to enable a successful completion on the deadline. Thankyou so much.
A representative from Bg Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 07 April, 2025:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Karl! We’re delighted to hear that Emma and Brad were able to guide you through what sounds like a challenging transaction with calmness and perseverance. Meeting tight deadlines and handling complex requirements can be difficult, but we’re thrilled to have been able to support you through it and achieve a successful outcome. Your gratitude means a lot to us, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

A house move is potentially the most stressful time of our lives. Trying to beat the labour deadline for an increase in stamp duty just triples that. But Helen Kent and her team, phenomenal. I had a hiccup at the start where I missed some paperwork requests, but that was no problem at all. You chased me, and everyone involved and ensured we were in time for the deadline, and kept me in the loop right up until I had the keys in my hand. Thanks so much!
A representative from Bg Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 18 March, 2025:
Thank you, Marc! We're delighted to hear that Helen and the team made your house move smooth and stress-free, especially with the stamp duty deadline pressure. We appreciate your kind words and are glad we could keep you on track. Enjoy your new home!

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.

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.
