Wills update

We wished to make some slight changes to our Wills which, incidentally, were prepared by Sills & Betteridge a few years ago. This was a relatively straightforward exercise but every detail was explained and Alistair ensured we both understood various implications and possible future scenarios. We felt properly and professionally supported throughout. Thank you!

Arrangements of Wills

My wife and I had our Wills drawn up, we have assets which we wanted to ensure are distributed between our three children in the event of our deaths. We were given very clear advice how to ensure the children can legally inherit some of our assets in the event of one or either of us going into care and not losing it all to the Government. Everything was professionally handled, it was reviewed before finalising to ensure it met our needs and the staff were very friendly and approachable. Would definitely use again in the future if needed to.

Crime/ Criminal Defence

Abandoned just minutes before the Trial was due to start.

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.

A representative from Sills & Betteridge LLP responded to this review

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.

Excellent Professional Representation

Solicitor Ms Vickie Ingamells- Sills &Betteridge Solicitors provided first class legal advice and representation over a extended period dealing professionally challenging matter during which she went above and beyond normal client expectations maintaining excellent communication with a personal touch and support to myself who resides in Australia. I will be forever grateful to her for bringing my matter to a successful resolution. I would have no hesitation in recommending Vickie and her Sills & Betteridge legal professionals to anyone requiring first class legal representation.

Useless waste of time. I was told by multiple people to change solicitor for being useless and I ignored them to my own stupidity. £25,000 and 2 years lost and nothing to show for it. Avoid at all costs. They are only bothered by the cost of their time for time spent doing nothing. A bunch of wet wipes pretending to be solicitors. I would of been better off representing myself. Pathetic. Again avoid at all costs.

We are sorry to hear you are unhappy. However, it is not always possible for cases to proceed as expected. We strive to offer a high level of service and we are sorry if you felt it fell short on the occasion.

Mathew Daurge was recommended to me and my wife by our Mortgage Advisor. Myself and my wife were purchasing our first home in Swindon, Mathew was incredibly professional and communicated us through every step, we even passed his details onto friends and family who have had equally amazing service. Will always recommend him to everyone.

Fantastic service from Faye and Fiona

We can’t thank Faye and Fiona enough for the help they’ve provided us. Were first time buyers and you hear bad things usually regards to Solicitors but I can say this is the exact opposite. They kept us informed and up to date throughout the whole process, we haven’t been stressed one bit and that is down to their help. Would highly recommend and thank you again

Florence took a lot of time to get to know my personal needs and made me feel nothing was too much trouble. We met several times in person and online, depending upon what suited me most. I was very impressed with her professionalism, time taken and her ability to make me feel like an individual. I would thoroughly recommend the service I was given.

I contacted the Mediation Service on behalf of a Client. My questions were answered with clarity and my Client was able to speak to the Legal Adviser who informed him of the process. The clear and concise information enabled my Client to agree to Mediation. The Legal Adviser also sent an email with all the information required to reassure and confirm the procedure. We were dealt with politely and respectfully throughout the call and had no doubts as to the next steps. An anxious Client left the office in a positive state of mind following our contact with the Mediation Service.

Thank you for your kind review - we are very pleased to hear that you were pleased with the service and that your client felt supported.
