Family Law

Wow!

As jade will probably agree, my case has to be up there with some if not the most difficult of cases. Jade, her team & my barrister Olivia absolutely delivered the outcome I needed as a father. Not only did they get me contact with my daughter, they gave me a life worth living back. They restored my faith in the “system” for fathers. A mammoth case lasting the best part of 2 years dealt with by the most incredible team I have ever come across. I cannot thank them enough. Not only did they fill a daughter shaped hole in my heart, but they gave a little girl her father back. I will be forever grateful. There needs to be more stars for this review so I can absolutely fill every single one of them. Thank you all for all your hard work.

Calm, professional and excellent family law support

Lisa Kellett supported me through a difficult divorce and child arrangements dispute. It was a messy and emotionally challenging process, but Lisa was consistently professional, calm and clear throughout. She gave me excellent advice, helped me understand my options, and guided me through the court process with real confidence and care. Her calm approach made a very stressful situation feel much more manageable. I achieved an excellent outcome in court and I’m extremely grateful for Lisa’s support. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing family law advice, particularly in complex or contested child arrangements matters.

Children proceedings and financial remedy

After a very difficult and acrimonious divorce to settle both a child arrangement order and financial remedy, Lisa and her team were a constant source of stability and guidance throughout. I achieved a result in both Child arrangement proceedings and financial remedy that I was happy with.

Natalie was amazing

I was referred to Natalie over an employment issue that was causing me an enormous amount of stress. Natalie was really empathetic as well as being pragmatic- you don’t always see both qualities in a solicitor! She really helped me get my case together and get the outcome I was looking for. Thank you Natalie!

Wills, Trusts & Probate

An unpleasant task made easy

Making wills is not a pleasant task, but Emily made the whole process easy and put us at our ease. Her warm but professional manner made us feel comfortable. The process was quick and everything explained in detail. I would highly recommend Sills and Betteridge and trust completely that our affairs are in the best of hands. Another of life’s essential tasks that we can be confident of having been accomplished by a solicitor with integrity. Thank you Emily.

Lasting Power of Attorney

Will & Power of Attorney - Sills & Betterage LLP

I contacted Emily to amend my will and prepare my power of attorney. Emily was very helpful and explained everything thoroughly, making sure I understood all the steps involved. I have used Sills & Betterage on a number of occasions and have always been extremely satisfied with their services. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Excellent service throughout, selling my former home and purchasing my new one.

I cannot thank Tiffany and Dawn enough for all of their help and support throughout both the sale of my former home and the purchase of my new home. The whole process was handled professionally, efficiently and with great communication from start to finish. Buying and selling at the same time can be incredibly stressful, but they made everything feel far more manageable and were always available to answer questions and keep me updated. What really stood out was the care and understanding shown during what was a very emotional and difficult period personally. I always felt reassured that everything was being dealt with properly and in my best interests. A special thank you to them both for being so patient, supportive and approachable throughout. I genuinely appreciated all of the hard work behind the scenes to help everything complete smoothly. I would highly recommend Sills & Betteridge to anyone looking for reliable, professional and compassionate solicitors.

Excellent! Deborah is brilliant!

I had instructed Sills & Betteridge for my husbands first UK Spouse Visa. From the first meeting with Deborah right up until the successful email I have felt nothing but support, warmth and total guidance. Deborah was extremely efficient, listened to me and guided me and I felt extremely reassured as we went through the process of the application and I will forever recommend her. I cannot thank her enough for the kindness and help that she gave me for such a pivotal time in my life and I am forever grateful. 100% recommend!

I recently used Sills & Betteridge Sleaford for my remortgage and equity transfer and I was very impressed with the service throughout. The entire process was completed in just 7 weeks, which exceeded our expectations. Communication was clear and prompt at every stage, and everything was handled efficiently and professionally. I always felt informed and confident that matters were progressing smoothly. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient conveyancing solicitor. Thank you Sue and Yvonne for all your support and your understanding with my additional access needs. As someone on the spectrum who needs to understand processes in more detail than most would, you were kind, patient and supportive.
