First class service

5

Katie was very helpful, attentive to our needs & wishes.
Email communication worked a treat due to the distance of over 100 miles. Appointments for signing & document collection was on our terms due to travelling, everything was well managed & thought out with sensitivity & care.
A first class friendly service, always a good positive outcome to meetings, would have no hesitation in recommending Sills & Betteridge to others & especially the help, legal support & guidance of Katie.

I recently engaged Katie Senior to provide me with a will and lasting power of attorney for my family. My experience was excellent, Katie is an accomplished and highly professional solicitor with exemplary communication and interpersonal skills, she explained every part of the process to me in a patient and kind manner, nothing was too much trouble for her. Katie's written correspondence to me was perfect throughout, I will recommend Katie to anyone I know or speak to who requires the best level of service as that's what I received, Many thanks Katie

Administration of mother's estate

5

Katie Senior and her team at Sills & Betteridge have recently carried out the administration of my mother’s estate. I found the service offered was very efficient, and sensitively undertaken, which was a great help at a difficult time. Everyone I spoke to was friendly, kind and very helpful. The whole process went ahead very smoothly and being able to leave everything to Katie and her team lifted a weight from my shoulders. I felt very confident that I could leave everything to Katie and that she would contact me when necessary and keep me up to date as things developed. Being able to rely on Katie’s professional knowledge of the process of obtaining probate and administering the estate was invaluable and I really appreciate that. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone needing a solicitor.
