Mathew Daurge and his team in Lincoln have been superb throughout the whole process. Selling our old house was very stressful but Mathew was extremely supportive and very professional. It took almost eighteen months to sell our property due to the first chain collapsing but it was well worth it as our new house is exactly what we wanted.
Thank you so much for all of your hard work and answering multiple emails on a Sunday.
Poor.continuously chasing and and struggle to get updates.would not recommend
Made the process simple to understand. Always prepared to take time and go over things again if needed.
Due to their awful communication and lack of response to emails or phone calls, we cancelled our engagement with them. I would not recommend - simple as that!
They’re quick to respond to any queries and have always given me accurate unbiased advise, they are also very considerate when dealing with sensitive issues
Having worked with Deborah a couple of times and Sills as a whole, five times total, I have to say that I am thoroughly pleased with them. Deborah Linford is a fantastic solicitor who has spent the last 10 months fighting for my partner to stay in the country and succeeded. We will definitely recommend her and Sills to everyone who might need a solicitor in the future. Thank you so much ☺️
My experience with Jess and her team has been exceptional and the best support I could ask for.
My cases have been hard and complex with a lot of stress and anxiety. The team have been amazing and so supportive, I honestly couldn’t have chosen and asked for better communication outcomes and support. They’re also extremely honest and I value their views. I would definitely recommend this firm.
Effective efficient pleasant professional thoroughly good experience
It's OK when things go well. But when they don't, Sills & Betteridge steps in to take the stress and strain in a professional way. To know that there is a shoulder to lean on.
I recently bought a home from Barratt Homes in Melton Mowbray, and I used Sills & Betteridge for the conveyancing. Sanjeve Kumar and Lucy Dixon were both highly professional—efficient, responsive, and always clear in their communication. They ensured everything was completed on time and handled the legal process smoothly, which meant I didn’t have to worry about chasing things or managing delays.
Their fees were reasonable, and overall they made the experience much easier than I’d anticipated. I’d be very happy to recommend Sills & Betteridge to anyone looking for a reliable solicitor when buying or selling a home.
Absolutely brilliant. Very thorough and friendly. Will definitely recommend her
i used these for a child family matter and they was absolutely brilliant and kept me up to date with everything i would be in contact if i ever need you again many thanks for everything you have done for me with the case
Jade Lawson has been dealing with my case from the start of the court process. (K.W). Throughout. She has shown full support aswell as empathy where at times felt difficult to pull through. Jade explained the process and each step of the court process. Jade was able to phone and ask questions and throughout very quick at responding to each enquiry. Jade was professional and honest throughout the service she provided. From start to finish she was incredible. Emphatic also confident with the court processes and expectations.
We were treated with professionalism and friendly courtesy throughout three separate visa applications over a period of 3 years. We were kept up to date on progress throughout.
Subject - Official Complaint Regarding Services Provided by Sandra Russell at Acclaimed Family Law in Sheffield.
In 2023, I sought assistance from Acclaimed Family Law and the services I received from Sandra Russell prior to it’s incorporation into Sills and Betteridge Solicitors.
During this particularly challenging separation from my ex-partner, who was withholding access to my son. During my consultation with Sandra Russell, I clearly articulated my desire for a 50:50 custody arrangement. To my dismay, Sandra Russell abruptly stated that "I would never get 50:50 custody" without providing any rationale for her assertion. This response left me with the impression that her judgment may have been influenced by gender bias, as I am a man seeking equal rights to parenthood.
Feeling dissatisfied with the guidance I received, I decided to terminate my engagement with Acclaimed Family Law and sought representation from Irwin Mitchell Solicitors in Sheffield. Despite the negative impact of Sandra Russell's advice on my case, which incurred further complications and resulted in further additional costs on my case down the line. I presented the same custody request to Irwin Mitchell, and after considerable effort and perserverance over a two year period, I am pleased to report that I have successfully obtained a 50:50 custody arrangement. I am now a proud father actively involved in my son's life.
I believe it is essential for your firm to be aware of the experiences of clients like myself, as they reflect on the quality of legal counsel provided. I hope this complaint will lead to a review of practices to ensure that all clients receive fair and unbiased advice.

Mrs. D. Linford has an extensive knowledge to represent me on how to achieve my BRP/ IMMIGRATION VISA. The service offered was complete and very professional. She was extremely thorough and explained everything to me at every step of the process. I would thoroughly recommend her services to anyone that needs help with immigration issues.
