Great service from first contact through to end result.

Had an initial call with Justin after completing the web form. First chat was good, had a clear understanding of my issue and was clear on options going forward.

Once the court date arrives Justin went over the details and was well presented and got a very good outcome, better than expected.

Can only recommend and day good things for the service I had in my case.

Over the last 10+ years, Tracy Wray and her team at Sills have been my ‘go to’ for all my conveyancing requirements. I can honestly think of one word to describe Tracy and the team…..outstanding! Professional, effective and efficient - a first class very friendly service with excellent communications and superb legal knowledge and tenacity to have all the questions answered. The online portal is excellent and allows for all documents to be scanned and uploaded 24/7 and progress to be checked anytime.

Chloe and Kathryn

We hadn’t moved house for 34 years so it was an emotional time for us.
Chloe and Kathryn were so good. The whole process (from our point of view) was as pain free as it could be.
Chloe and Kathryn were patient with our anxiety and always, always reassuring. Our questions were responded to and cleared up quickly and we were never made to feel that we were a nuisance.
Their advice and guidance through the reams of paperwork was invaluable.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Abandoned minutes before my trial was to begin

My Crown Court trial was minutes from starting when my Sills & Betteridge solicitor decided, for no good reason, to withdraw from representing me. The barrister who was appointed by Sills also withdrew, leaving me with no legal team whatsoever. No reason for their withdrawal was given to the Judge or the Court. The Judge instructed my solicitor to provide me with a list of alternative solicitors, but all she did was give me a very short list of firms, all of which did not do Legal Aid work, so was of no use to me at all. I had to find my own legal team just days before the Christmas and New Year's holidays for a Court appearance on 8th January. I was effectively abandoned.
From my experience, I think that the Sills and Betteridge solicitor behaved in an appallingly unprofessional manner. i would not recommend this firm to anyone.

I cant thank this company enough!, especially Isabel and Ella. Isabel was so calm, understanding and kind which made what was such an awful situation comfortable to talk about and wrote me the best witness statement! Ella was fantastic in the court room and made me feel so safe! Will 100% be using them again for the next stage and would highly recommend! Thank you very much!
