The Winston Solicitors team once again took part in theLeeds MencapApprentice Challenge. Taking an initial loan of £50, each team was challenged to raise as much as possible for the Leeds charity over a six week period.

For Winston Solicitors, it was a firm wide effort with the catchphrase 'divide and conquer’, which clearly worked given our winning status!

We kicked off the fundraising period with a Cake For Cash day closely followed by a raffle. To really hot up the raffle sales, Jonathan incentivised staff with an extra day’s holiday for the most tickets sold. Laura Hitchen was the proud winner by selling a grand total of 113 to her family and friends.

Ourannual quiznight brought almost 100 people together to enjoy Paul’s eclectic quiz questions and bonus prizes.

After presenting the final cheque to Leeds Mencap for £1642.10 we were delighted to be presented with the winning trophy in return. Obviously it is the fundraising and taking part that counts, but we do like a ‘win win’ situation!

Many of my family members have used Winstons Solicitors for their conyancing, over many years. I too have now used them and they did not disappoint. Samantha Robertson-Strong and Paulo Dos Santos were my main persons of contact. They were highly professional and very thorough, whilst maintaining an air of friendliness and approachability throughout. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

My son recently purchased a property. I had used Winston Solicitors for many years and had no hesitation in recommending them to him. Their service is outstanding; very professional yet friendly and approachable. Samantha is awesome. She always does a thorough job. Paulo, her assistant, has been an absolute pleasure to deal with as well. So a huge thumbs up and many thanks all around! - October 2025

This was a stressful (and as it was a property purchase caused by divorce), very emotional. Samantha and Paulo were always very kind and patient. - October 2025

I recently used Winston Solicitors for the purchase of my first home and was extremely impressed with the service. My solicitor, Leasa, along with her assistant, Julie, were outstanding throughout the process—thorough, accommodating, and always patient in explaining each step clearly. They made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable, always going above and beyond to support me. I truly appreciated their professionalism and personal approach, and I would not hesitate to recommend Winston Solicitors to anyone - I cannot thank you all enough. - September 2025
