Exceptional Representation and Support

I was beyond impressed with Chris’s representation throughout my case. He immediately put me at ease during an extremely difficult and stressful time, and his professionalism, knowledge and support were exceptional from start to finish. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chris and Sills & Betteridge to others. Should I ever require legal assistance in any area in the future, they would undoubtedly be my first choice.

Crime/ Criminal Defence

Abandoned just minutes before the Trial was due to start.

Siils and Betteridge is truly appalling. I was charged with a criminal offence, and Katie Scott was to be my DEFENCE solicitor, employed to DEFEND me. No chance of that. I was asked to provide evidence, which included CCTV, to support my case. It was strong evidence, but Katie Scott, and the barrister employed by her, dismissed it all such that I was left with no defence at all. When I insisted that the evidence be used both of them abandoned me minutes before the Trial was due to start, giving the excuse that they were "professionally embarrassed". This, in plain English, means that they did not like being instructed by a paying client, and decided to walk off in a huff. They showed no professionalism whatsoever. Some while late, I posted a critical online review, but this was swiftly removed, probably because of "professional embarrassment". I hope this review will not be removed, but because Sills and Betteridge are easily "professionally embarrassed", it probably will. My advice is not to use Sills and Betteridge if you do not want to be abandoned at Court, or if you expect to be able to ask your solicitor to use evidence. It "professionally embarrasses" the poor dears.

A representative from Sills & Betteridge LLP responded to this review

We are sorry to hear you remain unhappy after following our complaints procedure 2 years ago. We have strict conduct rules that we have to abide by and in some cases, it is necessary to cease acting in order to fulfil our professional obligations. We pride ourselves on providing a high standard of legal representation and we are sorry if you feel it felt short on this occasion.

I approach Sills and Betteridge in panic about my charge. They all have been professional but approachable and very very helpful. Katie was always honest and Chris my barrister used best of his knowledge to help me out. Highly recommend and very grateful for the company as well.

Writing a 5 stat review for Emily Whittley from sills & betteridge who represented me today in my case and she was brilliant! Not only as support through the actual hearing but as moral support too by sorting a separate room to help with my anxiety, getting special measures put into place and speaking on my behalf and got the result that was needed in order for me to be able to breathe until the crown court date! If you ever thinking of using this company please do, and if available I highly recommend Emily Whittley :)

If I could leave a ten-star review instead of five stars I would do it in a heartbeat. This firm of highly professional solicitors is outstanding, and I would like to mention the ones involved in my case. A special thanks to Dominic Lee and his amazing team who took my case on, it was a long traumatic time for me, however, Dominic has shown me nothing but compassion, and kindness, and his knowledge is just outstanding. Phone calls and emails were answered immediately, and Dominic was persistent fair, thorough, and transparent throughout. I was impressed by his dedication to achieving the best outcome for me, which he did. I cannot express my gratitude for the outstanding representation throughout my case for the care and dedication shown, and for the achievement of a successful outcome. I will be forever grateful. I would also like to thank Chrystal Theofanous and her incredible team, Sarah Louise Nicholas and Alexandra Hill, who worked hard to achieve the amazing outcome I could only have dreamed of, thanks to their dedication and hard work. They had excellent communication skills and put me at ease in very stressful times, they ensured I had the best barristers to represent me at all times, reassuring me along the way. Nothing was too much trouble, they guided me holding my hand every step, something that I was very grateful for. I would not hesitate to use this team again if needed, they would be my first and only choice. First-class service every single time.

Sale of my property.

S&B we’re extremely helpful and responsive during the process of selling my home. Their online services were very helpful and simple to follow and the support I received throughout the sale, especially from Hayley, Kirsty and Rebecca was great. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone who requires solid solicitor’s.

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.

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.
