Keertan Gill

Tagged solicitor Keertan Gill

Expecting a long, drawn-out process, with a lot of tiresome questions, I cannot speak more highly of how my claim has been organised and dealt with, with the minimum of fuss. At its conclusion, and the award confirmed, reasons and explanations were given outlining the reasons, why's, and wherefore's, for the amount offered. I could not disagree, and every point was understood. From beginning to end, Winston Solicitors have been open and clear about everything, and though the award is hardly life changing at £3,750, it has made me content to feel that the grievous assault on me has awarded me some personal satisfaction after the Crown Court sentence gave me very little. Thank you Keertan and all at Winston Solicitors.

Steph Grieve

Tagged solicitor Steph Grieve

I had the privilege of being represented by Stephanie Grieve in a criminal justice case, and I cannot recommend Stephanie & Scullion Law enough. From the very beginning, Stephanie was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. She took the time to explain the legal process in detail, ensuring I understood every step and felt confident in my defence. The attention to detail and strategic approach were truly impressive. She thoroughly examined the evidence, identified key arguments, and presented my case skillfully and determinedly. Her advocacy in court was outstanding, and ability to remain calm under pressure was reassuring. Beyond her legal expertise, Stephanie was compassionate and understanding. She provided not only legal guidance but also emotional support, making a stressful situation much more manageable. Thanks to her hard work and dedication, my case resulted in the best possible outcome. If you need a solicitor who will fight for you with professionalism and integrity, I highly recommend Stephanie Grieve @ Scullion Law.

Rachel Fletcher

Tagged solicitor Rachel Fletcher

Rachel & the company are both professional & extremely personable. The support I received whilst going through this horrendous legal ordeal in my life was invaluable & my family & I will be eternally grateful. I’m 44 years old & never been in this position before so everything was alien to me! The whole process from being interviewed by the police through to being in court twice (5 months in total) Rachel & the company were fully supportive & contactable at all times. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her & the company.

Bethany Wilson

Tagged solicitor Bethany Wilson

Bethany was appointed to me as the duty solicitor and immediately made me feel more at ease with the situation that I was going through both with the way she communicated on a personal level and professionally when handling my case. Bethany made the effort to take real interest in my case and make positive steps to get me the best results from the moment that I met her. One of the best things about having Bethany on my side was that I was able to contact her personally at any time if I had questions. The end result was better than I was expecting when it began and this was due to Bethany's hard work to get the best result possible. My barrister also mentioned when my case was concluded that Bethany was brilliant and looks forward to working with her again Highly recommended.

Chris Wong

Tagged solicitor Chris Wong

I have used Chris twice over the last 30 years and most recently last year. Chris has been nothing short of AMAZING. He listened to my concerns, built an GREAT defence around it, his advice was exemplary which resulted in a successful outcome for me. He has shown great professionalism and always ensured that I was fully kept informed throughout the process. Chris was there for me when I really needed him the most, he went beyond his role to call me outside of office hours to reassure me that everything will be ok. An honest and a very nice person. Hopefully I won’t need to utilise his service again, but one thing is for sure, Chris and his team at Howells have my recommendation and will always be my place to go for legal advice. Thank you from me and my family Chris.

Jen Law

Tagged solicitor Jen Law

I required a solicitor at very short notice at Bideford Police Station and my wife called the office. They mentioned they would get in touch with Jen and I called her to explain circumstances. Jen turned up very quickly and was very helpful and the case was closed. Thank you Jen for your help I really appreciated it.

Elizabeth Bradshaw

Tagged solicitor Elizabeth Bradshaw

Elizabeth Bradshaw (Solicitor) and Stephen Page (Barrister) were brilliant. We were treated with kindness and respect throughout the court case, and they explained the processes as we progressed. They worked tirelessly on our behalf, and nothing was too much trouble for them, even the appeal that was launched. I send them my everlasting thanks and appreciation, as things could have gone so much worse for me. I am pleased & grateful for the results of the case.
