Good friendly service. Made understandable as the will was more complex.
Cost was reasonable compared to some.
I was able to phone with any queries anytime and received a prompt response.

Alan and his team at Sills & Betteridge Gainsborough were patient, informative and diligent with a particularly difficult sale and purchase. Despite various challenges that nearly derailed the process, they consistently worked hard and were communicative the entire time to get us over the finish line.

Above and beyond service, will use again in the future.

I would like to rate sills & betteridge 4 stars, they have been very helpful throughout my case. If anyone ever needs help regarding family law or with children's services, I highly recommend chrystal theofanus & Sarah Rowe & their whole team. They are fantastic at what they do. Also, a piece of advice to anybody who gets told that nothing will change, do not let that stop you. The juice was worth the squeeze. Thank you to all of you I deeply appreciate your work, time and efforts.
