British Citizenship Application

Deborah has be amazing sorting out my son's application. She made the whole process easy and stress free. We have been very well informed from the beginning till the end of the application and processing. Deborah and Catherine are very professional and friendly, it was a pleasure to work with them.

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!

Immigration - Leave to remain and Permanent leave to remain

I found Deborah to be very professional and knowledgeable. She helped work through the process very well, although and this is probably because she is used to dealing with non-English speaking people, she was a little too directive and controlling.

Ms Linford is clearly one of the best lawyers I've encountered. Communication was clear and cooperation was easy. Ms Linford is efficient and her immigration expertise is remarkable. She found different approach to my case and saved me tens of thousands of pounds, but the most important thing is that she helped me to bring my family to the UK. Thank you, Ms Linford! We were really lucky to have you as our solicitior!

Having been housebound for the last few days and having tried 3 solicitors trying to get my passport certified , I ventured into S&B and was met by the wonderful Keely on reception who showed kindness and compassion and sorted my issue in a few minutes. Thank you Keely you are a credit to your company.

Wills, Trusts & Probate

Highly Reccomended

We have used Florence Gardner of Sills & Betteridge in Sleaford on more than one occasion during the last 2 years for advice, and to go through wills, prepare new ones, assist and advise with trusts and probate matters. I cannot rate Florence higher – Florence is lovely, very approachable, knowledgeable, helpful and patient. When dealing with 2 close family members passing away in a short period, we could not have asked for any better with her exceptional knowledge and patience, given in a caring and compassionate manner. Florence is very professional and knowledgeable. She explained everything, and was happy to go over anything more than once, without hesitation, to make sure we knew what we were doing. And that our decisions with new wills and decisions on probate, were the best for our needs. It was all very new and unexpected, and throughout, although we were out of our depth, we came away with piece of mind every time. Due to the exceptional service from Florence, we also used the conveyancing team at Sills to deal with 2 house sales, and were also very impressed with the service we were given there too. Without doubt, I would not hesitate to recommend Florence, and the Sills & Betteridge team in general.

Amazing service no heavy jargon.

Would highly recommend this branch of Solicitors Katie Senior was really professional and family friendly. The whole process of preparing wills and power of attorney for my parents was easy to understand with no heavy jargon. Katie was very sensitive to the process of preparing Wills and it was a real pleasure having her deal with everything. Many Thanks

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.
