I experienced a high level of communication, advice and support throughout my divorce, Donna and Lisa were never too busy to answer or explain anything I needed to know, no matter how simple, like most people, it was a new experience for me, and as challenging as some parts were, Donna made sure all the correct decisions were made by advising me at every turn and made the while process so much more bareable despite delays out of our control, Donna ensured all paperwork was filed in plenty of time, and without this firm/ Donna, I would not have managed to complete the divorce correctly, and efficiently as it was. I highly recommend choosing Sills & Betteridge.

Jill and Peter at Sills and Betteridge were amazing from start to finish. Peter made me feel like I wasn't alone and gave me the courage to act upon financial and marital issues. Jill eventually took over my case and for a year her kindness and compassion really helped me through that tough time. I felt like she became a friend who really understood my case and if she could help me in anyway she would. She went above and Beyond. I would highly recommend her as a solicitor as well as all of the team at Sills and Betteridge.
Do not use this firm for anything relating to child proceedings. I used this firm for legal action regarding custody of my son. Over 2 years it went on for. Being charged through the nose for shoddy half done work. They completely misinformed me of my rights and what I could have challenged in the courts. They rinsed me of £15,000 with absolutely nothing to show for it in the end. It wasn't until I took on a barrister in the end to which she notified me it was the poorest work she had seen in 30 years of being a barrister specialising in family courts. By this time the damage had been done. The forms and paperwork filled out were incorrect with the wrong names and dates of birth. The work they provided was nothing short of complete incompetence and shoddy. When you complain they don't want to know and refuse to acknowledge your complaint. 2 years on I'm still fighting through the legal ombudsman as told to by my barrister. There is a lot more I could write but what's the point. They've ruined my life and taken no accountability for it. They would turn up 40 minutes late to court and still charge you for it. Shocking. Incompetent. Shoddy unbothered solicitors. Avoid if you want any chance of winning a custody battle.
We are sorry you are still unhappy with the service provided by Sills & Betteridge. We endeavour to provide a high standard to all our clients. We understand you have gone through our formal complaints procedure and that your complaint was not upheld by our third-party complaints handler.
Thanks to Luvena Contreras and Isabel Jacques. Very professional and empathetic women. Dealt with my case quickly and smoothly.
Absolutely amazing solicitor Emily Whittley, So professional, supportive and understanding throughout. She went above and beyond to help me during a very difficult time, and I always felt listened to and supported. I’m extremely grateful for all her hard work and would highly recommend her ⭐️
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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Emily Whitney She was great in handling my case. It took a while for legal aid to be approved but once it was she was onto of everything. She acted quickly and professionally in a short period of time. When it came to court I couldn't of ask any more. She got the best result possible and I am so happy with the result. I highly recommend the solicitors for a civil case

I have used Sills & Betteridge with a previous property purchase so I had no hesitation in using them again. The team I dealt with Alice and Charlie were very professional and thorough, they answered all my queries in good time and were extremely helpful and dealt with the property purchase without any problems. I would highly recommend this company to anyone.

I used Sills and Betteridge both for the sale of my property and for the one I was purchasing. At each stage from quoting for the work through to completion, the team I was assigned (KIm's team) gave me accurate information, including costings and provided regular updates and answered my queries speedily at each point. My main contact person (Lucy), rang me with queries as well as answering her phone when I made them. I found this human contact hugely reassuring. The team were thorough in investigating a complex purchase which i was also glad to see. Likewise, with my sale, they responded speedily to all queries from my buyers. In summary, the team I was given were efficient, patient and professional on my behalf.

Jade and Chloe were excellent in dealing with my sale and purchase. Not everything went to plan. The gave clear advice and were easy to contact if an explanation was needed. Chloe was my main contact and she went over and beyond in her support. I would definitely recommend.

I couldn’t recommend Charlotte and Ed highly enough. They were absolutely fantastic throughout the sale of my house and made what can be a stressful process feel so much easier. They were professional, knowledgeable and incredibly helpful from start to finish, keeping me updated and always being on hand whenever I had a question. I really appreciated how approachable and reassuring they were throughout the whole process. A huge thank you to Charlotte, Ed and the whole team for all their hard work and support. I’m so pleased with the service I received and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a solicitor. Excellent service from start to finish!

I would highly recommend Sills & Betteridge. I recently dealt with Team Amy while purchasing two properties at the same time and I honestly couldn’t have asked for better service. I had already instructed another firm for one of the purchases before I came across Sills & Betteridge, so I was dealing with both firms at the same time. The difference was very noticeable. The quote was very reasonable, but what really impressed me was how quick, efficient and helpful Team Amy were throughout the whole process. They always responded so quickly to any questions I had and kept everything moving, which made the whole experience much easier. A special mention to Uros and Eve as well, who were both brilliant. Everyone I dealt with was friendly, professional and really helpful. I’m genuinely very pleased with the service I received from Sills & Betteridge and would definitely recommend them. Thank you to the whole team for all your help.
The best 👌
Jess Cooper once again sorts out a nightmare dispute and kept me calm and focused on the task in hand. Dealing with a very difficult co parent Jess remained professional and dealt with the issue at hand with her great experience making it another successful court appearance. Everytime Jess has represented me in court she has been able to make sure we have walked away with what is the right decision for my child and remained child focus the whole way through the 3 year that I have been working with her. I can not recommend Jess enough.
