Katie and her brilliant team

5

I could not have wished for better legal representation that was provided for me by Katie and her team. You are all first class, consummate professionals. Special mention to Shelley, Clare and Leanne also. Keep up your fantastic work. You should all be proud of yourselves!
Special thank you to Lloyd also. Lloyd has dealt with me on a previous case, so I was immensely relieved to have him with me at the start of this case. Thanks also to Chris.

Excellent service in every way possible. Gone over and beyond!!

5

Katie is an absolute gem. She was there for me when it seemed like the whole world was against me.

I have dealt with many other money grabbing firms in the past and can categorically state that Sills and Betteridge are not one of them.
They genuinely seem to care about their clients and they are extremely reasonably priced as their clients wellbeing seems to be their priority.

Katie is extremely knowledgeable and 100% goes over and beyond.
She facilitated an incredible barrister Mr Cranmer-Brown to represent me on a case against my ex.
I had lost all hope in life needless to say (I was under the impression that Jhonny Depp was the first a last person to win a case like this🤣) , but against all odds, WE WON!!
I am picking up my pieces and I owe my life to this firm and the incredible barrister Mr Cranmer-Brown.

Words can’t describe how thankful I am. Keep up the incredible work.
