Our reviews

The divorce was the lowest point of my life, so I failed to properly engage with the divorce process. 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.

Amazing service for the second time with Sills & Betteridge. They respond very quick and are always willing to help to their full extent. They are understanding and provide a safe space to speak about vulnerable situations. Also want to mention that Rebecca is brilliant. She has helped me through a difficult time and help me gain a positive outcome on my situation. Also she has not fully closed the door and is always available for me to contact in future with any other legal advice I may need. I would 100% recommend! Thankyou all for being so patient and helpful.

I came to Natalie after trying every avenue myself, during the first conversation her knowledge was brilliant. She set me at ease and didn’t push any decision for me to make. Everything was explained and I was kept up to date at important parts. I would have no hesitation at using Natalie for any further work I needed. She dealt with a 6 year battle within 2 months.
Client Review, 12/11/2024

I was refused representation by a number of solicitors due to the complexity of my case. Helen was amazing from start to finish. She dealt with my case with compassion, empathy and efficiency. She went above and beyond, quickly taking on board a great deal of information against a tight deadline. I'm finally out of the family court system after almost 3 years. I couldn't have done it without Helen's representation. Helen is a true professional, reassuring but realistic. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

I couldn't recommend Peter Dadswell enough. He's been outstanding throughout. In very difficult circumstances and through the toughest times of my life. Its been reassuring knowing I've had Peter in my corner. Advising me on what I should and shouldn't be doing but also making me aware of the financial costs on a regular basis so I didn't insure any unexpected costs. I'm sure my estranged wife in hindsight wishes she had got Peter before me. Thank you so much Peter. I will be forever grateful.
