Jas Thiara

Tagged solicitor Jas Thiara

They made me aware of all updates with my dates for court and gave me the best advice for legal proceedings, with court cases in Magistrates and Crown Court proceeds and got me a minimum sentence. I could get with all information recorded and will use this firm again if necessary if future court or legal proceedings.

Winston Solicitors were very quick and explained the whole process of my claim to me. If you want an excellent solicitor these are the ones to go for. I made a Cica claim for an assault and they were there throughout the whole process and were very caring too! I wouldn’t ever go with any other solicitor they actually care about their clients and are super supportive. Thank you again.

Andrew Morris

Tagged solicitor Andrew Morris

We are utterly thrilled with the outcome of this case and want to thank you all on helping to successfully bring this case to a close. Andrew was absolutely brilliant - our heartiest thanks for his invaluable integrity, commitment, support and hard work. When K walked out, after a huge hug from me, two members of the jury came up to him, congratulated him, wished him well for the future and made a point of saying that they were all immediately and unanimously in agreement on the Not Guilty verdict. I asked if they were mothers and both were mothers of five! Nevertheless, we feel that there should be a further case against the police for the maltreatment, unnecessary harassment and humiliation, assault, loss of earnings and opportunities caused by this case. This list is not necessarily exhaustive...

Chris Wong

Tagged solicitor Chris Wong

Replaced my previous solicitor who recently left the company. Met with him only 3 days before the court date. Given sound advice and wiped the floor with the prosecution who eventually offered no evidence so the case was thrown out. Professional, friendly approachable chap who knows what he is doing. Chris is an absolute legend. Thanks Chris. John F.

When I first contacted slee blackwell I spoke to Millie on reception who was super friendly and helpful with putting me in contact with the right person for my case. Once in contact with Jen, she was very professional, kind and friendly. She kept me updated throughout and helped me through my court hearing with great advice, ending in a good result. I would highly recommend Jen to anyone who needs a lawyer

Rachel Fletcher

Tagged solicitor Rachel Fletcher

I would like to thank Rachel for the support she gave my son during a really difficult time. We made the decision to ask Rachel to support him rather than wait a long wait for a duty solicitor because the case was a very awful one, my son was under a lot of stress and it was difficult for us to decide what it was best for him to do. Rachel's approach to liaising with the police and supporting my son meant that he could do the right thing not just for himself but for the others involved in the case. Today has seen the outcome of that case and whilst sorry to have been caught up in it, with Rachel's help he can now see how his actions have benefited the case as a whole. Thank you Rachel for helping us at this very difficult time.
