A solicitor who truly cares and delivers results

I had an outstanding experience working with Deborah Linford at Sills & Betteridge LLP for my divorce and visa application. From the very beginning, they handled my case with professionalism, efficiency, and genuine care.

They were proactive in every step of the process, kept me updated regularly, and explained everything clearly so I always knew what to expect. Their legal knowledge is impressive, but what stood out even more was how approachable, friendly, and supportive they were - both in dealing with my case and with me personally.

Thanks to their dedication and attention to detail, what could have been a stressful journey became a smooth and reassuring experience. I can’t recommend Deborah Linford and Sills & Betteridge LLP highly enough for anyone in need of family matters and immigration legal assistance.

I was referred by my son to use Dawn @sills betteridge for our sale and purchase. We had been in our current property for 54 years and with us both in our 80 s were we not looking forward to the stress of moving. The service we recived from Dawn and her team was 1st clsss throughout with regular updates. The main thing for us was that Dawn responded to any queries we had without us having to chase her all the time. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking at moving.

Issue of new Wills

Our previous Wills had not been completed correctly and was causing us concern.

Anna swiftly put our minds at ease and addressed what needed to be done for new wills and Health LPA

We saw Anna O'Mara on our 47th wedding anniversary. The best wedding anniversary present we have ever had was seeing Anna and getting our new wills correctly in order. She is very efficient, knowledgeable and approachable. A credit to Sills and Betteridge

Very friendly team Karen, Emma and Lynn. While mostly I have dealt with Emma the paralegal I cannot thank them enough for the past year with Child proceedings and divorce. Went above and beyond making sure around court they were there and safery measures in place. There were some learning curves that was dealt with swiftly and professionally as a team to rectify. Divorce not fully over yet but I cannot recommend this team enough. Thank you so much.
