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

Thank you to Charlotte and the whole team who have made the transfer of ownership of our home so straight forward. They were in constant contact and helped explain anything a first time buyer gets confused by!

First time buyers move

I would not be able to pick fault with a single thing about Sills & Betteridge even if I tried. They made the whole process incredibly easy. I was worried about solicitors due to stories from friends about the hold-ups and struggles but none of that is present here. Quick replies and great communication mean we have got the keys to our first house incredibly fast.

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.

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.

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.
