Excellent service

We contacted Sills and Betteridge to re write our Wills. We were given an appointment in a timely manner to see Sarah at the Boston office. Nice office with pleasant efficient reception staff. Sarah listened very carefully to our situation and what our wishes were. She provided advice at appropriate times and gave examples which helped to explain further some of the issues. She took copious notes throughout the meeting. The appointment lasted just a few minutes short of an hour, she then explained the process going forward and the fee structure. We were told how long it would be before the drafts arrived but in reality it was much quicker. The drafts arrived promptly, only one very small item had to be changed which demonstrates the care taken during the initial consultation and putting together the drafts. Final drafts were accepted and the Wills subsequently signed at the office. The Wills that Sarah put together for us were exactly as we wanted but we wouldn’t have had a clue how to achieve it. The whole process from start to finish was easy and stress free, much of this down the way that Sarah conducts her business, she’s really pleasant, very personable and would be difficult not get along with. Cannot recommend Sarah and her firm highly enough. Thank you

This was my first encounter with Sills & Betteridge since the Bell & Buxton merger, in particular Josh Fenton Hawkes. From the onset, Josh made me feel at ease with the process of probate & his professional approach throughout the execution was exemplary.

Fabulous! Richard and Jenny have been a Godsend, they are patient, understanding and above all professional. I have dealt with them over the death of both of my parents and on dealing with the two estates they have been incredible as they explain everything I need to know before time and in a very easy to understand way. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

The best conveyancing team - highly recommend the team and the firm

Could not recommend the team highly enough. Kept me updated and I never needed to chase. The matter went through smoothly from start to finish. Ed, Charlotte and Jo were a delight to deal with. I would definitely recommend that anyone needing a conveyancing matter dealt with, should use Sills & Betteridge. The team were professional but very friendly. They made the whole process stress free and easy. 10/10 across the board. Excellent firm.

My journey with Sils & Betteridge started in February 2024. From the initial meeting to the full divorce being finalised I have nothing but praise for the way my case was dealt with. Lisa Kellett and her team have been professional, understanding and showed great empathy during a very difficult time. The outcome in terms of the divorce and financial matters was the best I could hope for. Thank you Lisa, Charlotte and Maddie.

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!
