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.

Nicholas Scullion

Tagged solicitor Nicholas Scullion

Recently asked the company to represent me on two occasions with regards my daughters Ex-boyfriend stalker the company charged me nothing because the case was dropped prior to court. The amount of work involved in the 3 visits to the office was deserved of several hundred pounds. I personally received 5 or 6 return calls from Nigel Scullion personally about the cases that never went ahead and excellent calming advice and case options and outcomes that may prevail helped my family cope with the situation. I Have looked at all the negative reviews before posting this comment and conclude that with the volume of work they take on that only the unhappy complain. If they asked people to post positive reviews then their star rating would be 4 or 5 rating. This family run business do not boast about their successful cases in which. I believe are many.

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.

Ann Ridge

Tagged solicitor Ann Ridge

Being accused of a criminal offence was the last thing I thought would prompt me to use the services of Ann Ridge and Howells Solicitors, however back in 2022 that is exactly what happened. From the very first contact, until the conclusion of my case some years later I can only describe the service offered as high class and professional. Howells have access to excellent and knowledgable barristers who fought my corner in an environment that I was unfamiliar with resulting in the correct verdict. I would not think twice about recommending this company should you find yourself in need of life changing, life saving, advice and a service to defend your rights. Ann Ridge has a unique and honest demeanour, a pleasure to deal with and my thanks go out to everybody in the team.

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.

Mark Hopwell did a wonderful job for me by creating a representation to the DBS who had been intending to bar me. Mark was always available to give good advice throughout the whole procedure. I cannot recommend his services highly enough.

Tagged solicitor Sunil Jagatia

I would highly recommend Mr Jagatia to anyone in need of legal representation. During my voluntary interview, he provided clear, calm, and knowledgeable guidance at every stage of the process. He took the time to fully understand my case, ensured my rights were protected, and made what was a very stressful situation much more manageable. I am extremely grateful for his professionalism, support, and expertise throughout.

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.
