Truly Exceptional Service

This was the third time our family have used Sills and Betteridge for conveyancing (two sales, one purchase). On all these occasions the service has been truly exceptional. Of particular note is their responsiveness and timely communication. The sale of our son's leasehold flat in London had a number of challenges and the advice and support provided by Ed Sharpe and his team was absolutely first class.

If I could leave a ten-star review instead of five stars I would do it in a heartbeat. This firm of highly professional solicitors is outstanding, and I would like to mention the ones involved in my case.

A special thanks to Dominic Lee and his amazing team who took my case on, it was a long traumatic time for me, however, Dominic has shown me nothing but compassion, and kindness, and his knowledge is just outstanding. Phone calls and emails were answered immediately, and Dominic was persistent fair, thorough, and transparent throughout. I was impressed by his dedication to achieving the best outcome for me, which he did. I cannot express my gratitude for the outstanding representation throughout my case for the care and dedication shown, and for the achievement of a successful outcome. I will be forever grateful.

I would also like to thank Chrystal Theofanous and her incredible team, Sarah Louise Nicholas and Alexandra Hill, who worked hard to achieve the amazing outcome I could only have dreamed of, thanks to their dedication and hard work. They had excellent communication skills and put me at ease in very stressful times, they ensured I had the best barristers to represent me at all times, reassuring me along the way. Nothing was too much trouble, they guided me holding my hand every step, something that I was very grateful for.
I would not hesitate to use this team again if needed, they would be my first and only choice. First-class service every single time.

I have used these solicitors for the past couple of years with my children's case. It was quite complex and they dealt with my case efficiently and professionally. Rebecca and Crystal where amazing and selected me a brilliant barrister when need also. From start to finish I couldn't have asked for better support and legal help. Personally I couldn't have asked for more. I will always hold a special place for both ladies for their hard work throughout the case resulting in the best result possible for myself and children. Thanks again ladies. I can't recommend this firm and ladies enough! Gemma x
