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.

Hannah Costley

Tagged solicitor Hannah Costley

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible work Hannah from Slater Hills did for my family. My brother was wrongfully accused and spent five months in prison before his trial. It was an unimaginably difficult and emotional time for all of us, but Hannah’s professionalism, compassion, and determination truly made all the difference. From the beginning, Hannah was patient and understanding, taking the time to listen to our concerns and explain every step of the process. She never rushed us and made sure we felt supported and informed throughout. Her dedication to uncovering the truth and fighting for justice was evident in every interaction we had. Hannah’s legal expertise and attention to detail ultimately led to my brother being found not guilty, and our family finally feels like we can breathe again. This outcome wouldn’t have been possible without her tireless efforts and the exceptional support of the Slater Hills team. If you’re looking for a criminal lawyer who truly cares and will fight for you every step of the way, I cannot recommend Hannah enough. Thank you, Hannah, for helping to restore my brother’s life and bringing peace back to our family. We will forever be grateful.

I have been dealing with Chris Wong, honestly it has been the best experience and communication has been exceptional. I was invited to the police station on a Saturday morning and to have someone to come out on a weekend shows the level of loyalty. Thank you again 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.
