Review for Helen Sawyer, Sills & Betteridge LLP

I cannot thank Helen Sawyer enough for the exceptional support she provided throughout my medical negligence claim. From the very beginning, Helen showed outstanding professionalism and empathy. She kept me informed at every stage, always communicating clearly and promptly, and was consistently available to answer my questions without delay. But what stood out most was Helen’s ability to truly listen and understand not only the facts of my situation but also the emotions behind it. She approached everything with genuine compassion and integrity, while maintaining realistic expectations and a calm confidence that put me at ease. Thanks to Helen’s expertise, we achieved a positive outcome and, more importantly, uncovered answers that I would never have found without her. She has brought me peace of mind and a sense of closure to what was a deeply painful and uncertain period in my life. I would wholeheartedly recommend Helen and Sills & Betteridge LLP to anyone seeking support with a medical negligence claim. Helen is not only an outstanding solicitor but also a deeply caring and understanding person - a rare combination that made all the difference for me.

Highly skilled, experienced and compassionate solicitor

I wanted to email to email and highlight my gratitude for the services Martin Walsh provided me throughout my case. This was an extremely emotive time and I was undergoing a lot of testing and health concerns, Martin was very compassionate and empathetic throughout. I feel Martin is very caring, friendly and approachable in his manner, helping me to feel able to approach him about anything involving the case. Martin was always available when I needed his advice and happy to answer any questions I had promptly. Martin’s experience and knowledge of the law is exceptional, this was clear throughout the case, especially when challenging errors made by the other party and in resolving the matter proactively. Martin was assertive and direct, when responding to the other party, who is a very challenging character, this approach was definitely needed. I would highly recommend Martin and intend to use his services again when required. Once again, thank you Martin for the high quality service and support I received throughout my case

Louise, gave me a first class service. From start to finish. I got to know her a little bit over the many years my case took to complete. Louise was friendly and approachable at all times, she put a lot of time and effort into the process. She got a very good outcome, which I don’t think I would ever of got from anybody else. I would highly recommend Louise and the company to everyone I know.

Couldn't be happier with the experience I had with Louise bush. The medical negligence legal battle lasted around 5 years, but was so worth it for the closure my family and I deserved. Couldn't recommend Louise more.

Louise was brilliant on my case it was an unusual case and not straightforward and despite all the odds she didn’t give up on me and I could tell she has a passion for her work. She managed to get the best result possible, one that we didn’t think would happen. I am incredibly grateful for Louise’s efforts, hard work and dedication. The outcome has managed to give me the closure I needed. Thank you Louise.

What can we say but a huge thank you to Paul Toon and his team at Sills and Betteridge Skegness! The last 6 years have been a very stressful nightmare for myself and my husband in dealing with the effects of the clinical negligence my husband suffered and the subsequent stresses that perusing the claim gave us all. Top marks to Paul for all the hard work and hours he put in - all our perseverance paid off this week at mediation and gave us a better result than we expected! We are so relieved and grateful to you all! Huge thank you! Lorna and Mark Jackson

Clever, straightforward and strong

Yasmine is very knowledgeable in her field, and from the very first meeting with her I knew I had made the right decision to instruct her team. I particularly liked how she handled my non-collaborative ex-partner in a firm way. She had the perfect balance of politeness and strength. Yasmine was fast to respond to emails and very thorough in her work. I felt that, if anything went wrong in the negotiations, she'd have my back all the way. I'm very happy in my new divorcee life, and I'm so thankful for the fresh start the team has helped me to make possible.

Excellent service from start to finish

We used Sills & Betteridge for both the purchase of our new home and the legal work for our buy-to-let property. Jade and Chloe were both extremely responsive throughout and made the whole process feel straightforward and well managed. Communication was excellent and everything was explained clearly so we always understood what was happening and what was needed from us. Corrine also dealt with our deeds and made this part of the process straightforward and easy for us. Overall, they made what could have been a stressful process feel very streamlined. We would happily recommend Sills & Betteridge and especially Jade, Chloe and Corrine. Thanks again for all your help

I cannot recommend Sills & Betteridge Solicitors highly enough. I came to the firm with an incredibly complex, difficult and stressful court case. From my very first meeting with Emily Whittley, I felt that I was in safe and capable hands. Emily was exceptionally thorough, strategically sharp and highly professional throughout the entire legal process. She kept me informed, supported and reassured, even when things became particularly challenging. Emily went above and beyond to ensure I had the right support around me throughout the ongoing case, including bringing in Hannah Krasinska-Walker, who provided invaluable additional courtroom support. Hannah played a hugely important role in my case and did so much to support me throughout an extremely difficult and intimidating process. Her preparation, professionalism, knowledge and presence in court gave me an enormous amount of confidence when I needed it most. Having both Emily and Hannah working together on my behalf made a huge difference. They complemented each other exceptionally well, and I always felt that I had a strong, dedicated team behind me. The involvement of an IDVA called Vicky also provided an important layer of additional support, and I am incredibly grateful that Emily made sure I had access to the wider support I needed. Emily and Hannah, from Sills & Betteridge, made an excellent team and together demonstrated outstanding legal knowledge and an impressive ability to navigate unexpected challenges during a highly contentious and difficult court matter. Their attention to detail, dedication and preparation were exceptional, and I always felt that I had two incredibly capable and committed people fighting my corner. The entire team showed genuine care, professionalism and commitment throughout. I always felt listened to, supported and kept informed, and I am incredibly grateful for everything Emily and Hannah did for me. Their support made an enormous difference during what was an extremely difficult and stressful time. Thanks to their dedication, hard work and representation, I achieved a positive outcome and, most importantly, I am now safe. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sills & Betteridge, Emily Whittley and Hannah Krasinska-Walker to anyone facing a complex or stressful legal matter. I will always be incredibly grateful to Emily and Hannah for the support, reassurance and dedication they showed me throughout my case. Thank you both for everything you did for me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I cannot thank Emily Whittley enough for the patience, kindness and guidance she showed me whilst she dealt with my matter, and whilst representing me during hearings. She was supportive and sensitive to my case, and always helped me to make informed decisions throughout proceedings. As an adult with learning difficulties, I was finding proceedings extremely stressful and overwhelming, but Emily was always there to answer any questions I had. I cannot thank Emily enough. I can now move on with my life safely and peacefully because of her. Thank you Emily!
