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.
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.

"From the moment my wife and I first met Katie, we knew we were in good hands. She has this great way of being friendly and approachable while remaining completely professional, which immediately put us both at ease. She took the time to explain the 'hows and whys' of our case in plain English, never leaving us in the dark. Throughout the entire period between the charges and the trial, Katie was incredibly responsive; if we had a question, she had an answer. We also really valued her honesty and the excellent barrister she appointed for us. During the week of the trial itself, her support was invaluable. She made sure I had exactly what I needed to get through it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone."

I have worked with sills and betteridge multiple times and I can't complain been absolutely amazing great service friendly and understanding. Very considerate of situations people are in.
I Have nothing but a double thumbs up for this firm. They stood by me through a living nightmare and I got through it. If I ever need legal advice regarding criminal law again im using Sills and Betteridge 100% They are the top firm here for a reason. They deliver it straight up and fight yer corner. I am in gratitude to Mr Edwards and Mr Hogg for their services and I would recommend these 2 QUALITY lawyers for anyone in a crime related position. I owe them big time......
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.
Excellent.

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.

Absolutely amazing solicitor Emily Whittley, So professional, supportive and understanding throughout. She went above and beyond to help me during a very difficult time, and I always felt listened to and supported. I’m extremely grateful for all her hard work and would highly recommend her ⭐️
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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely 5 star . Excellent communication in dealing with our property sale . My wife is a property sales negotiator and deals with solicitors on a daily basis in her role .And highly recommends Tiffany and Dawn to her clients. They both go above and beyond and are very proactive. You will not be disappointed in their service . Thankyou Ladies for all your help and guidance.
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!
