My saviors

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.

Review of Divorce Proceedings

I cannot recommend Sandra enough for her professional support and guidance through a complex and difficult divorce. She was always friendly and approachable and was accurate with her estimations of timescales and costs and the likely outcomes from my case. Sandra was always available to discuss the next steps and to explain the process clearly so I understood exactly what was happening, ultimately securing a successful outcome to my case.

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.

Clever, straightforward and strong

Yasmine is very knowledgeable in her field, and from the very first meeting with her I knew I had made the right decision to instruct her team. I particularly liked how she handled my non-collaborative ex-partner in a firm way. She had the perfect balance of politeness and strength. Yasmine was fast to respond to emails and very thorough in her work. I felt that, if anything went wrong in the negotiations, she'd have my back all the way. I'm very happy in my new divorcee life, and I'm so thankful for the fresh start the team has helped me to make possible.

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 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!

Couldn’t ask for more from our conveyancers!

We were honestly dreading moving house after hearing so many horror stories about conveyancers, but our experience was completely the opposite. Talisa and Rachel were absolutely fantastic from start to finish and went above and beyond for us throughout the entire process. Our sale and purchase started in October 2025 and finally completed in July 2026, so it was a long and, at times, incredibly complicated process. There were a number of issues along the way, particularly with our onward purchase, but Talisa and Rachel were always on hand, incredibly proactive and genuinely went the extra mile to help us get everything over the line (even doing the job of our sellers conveyancers from time to time - who were useless!) They were professional, responsive and reassuring throughout, and most importantly, made us feel like they genuinely cared about getting the best possible outcome for us. Even when things became particularly stressful, we always felt that we were in safe hands. We have already recommended Talisa and Rachel to everyone we know and would 100% use them again in the future. We genuinely couldn’t be more grateful for everything they did to help us finally get into our new home. Thank you so much, Talisa and Rachel, for everything! Holly & Lewis
