Many thanks to Sills & Betteridge.

The divorce was the lowest point of my life, so I failed to properly engage with the divorce process. I was probably Ailsa's worst ever client.
Regardless of the challenges I presented, Ailsa was determined to see me walk away with my fair share of the joint assets. Due to her patient persistence with me, coupled with her professional tenacity in acting on my behalf, I eventually walked away with considerably more than I expected and was initially prepared to accept.

My experience as a client of Sills & Betteridge has been entirely positive. When Ailsa was briefly on leave, her manager and the rest of the team dealt with me in the same professional and client friendly manner.
I'm now well on the way to rebuilding a future for myself and a legacy for my kids, thanks in no small part to the efforts of Ailsa and the team at Sills & Betteridge.
Many thanks.

Excellent, friendly and helpful will writing service

I've just worked with Maz Dudley from Sills & Betteridge to draw up my will and I just wanted to record that she did an outstanding job. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable and caring, Maz was excellent from start through to finish. She provided excellent, clear, and prompt communication throughout. I would have no hesitation in recommending Maz and S&B for legal services. A great job all round.

Compensation claim - Sainsbury

On 18/2/20/23 I had an unfortunate accident in Sainsbury’s, Grantham. They admitted full liability immediately

A good friend of mine recommended Sills & Beveridge to seek compensation. Simon Breeden was appointed to represent me on my claim

Over the following months, Simon took me through the entire process, making arrangements to see specialist orthopaedic advice to provide written reports and follow-up physiotherapy

As we approached recompense and settlement during 2024, he prepared compensation material in line with the severity of the accident together with guidelines for the supporting expenses claim. We came to the point when we started the negotiation proceeding, and eventually settled on the amount that he recommended (November this year)

A first class service from him, (and not forgetting Laura for beavering away in support)

I recently worked with Maz Dudley from Sills and Betteridge to draw up my will (November/December 2024) and I wanted to share how truly excellent she was. Friendly, professional, expert and approachable with a clear and jargon-free communication style. At the same time, Maz also prepared a will for my mother, and she did so sympathetically, caringly and in a manner that was not in any way patronising. I really liked how she was able to adapt her approach to her client and I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending her to others. The turn-around time was also very prompt, for which I am extremely grateful. Thank you, Maz, you did a outstanding job!
