Client feedback

Harriet Reid dealt with my divorce aided by her excellent assistant Judith Pearson. Both Harriet and Judith were incredibly quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had during the process. I found Harriet to be ideal for me to talk to as she was direct enough to be able to explain what was happening in "plain English" rather than "legal jargon" and to point out the actions I should and shouldn't take. The process is extremely emotive and a calm understanding advisor is essential.

During such a difficult and stressful time I found Winston Solicitors excellent. I worked with Wendy throughout my divorce she was incredible, supportive, hard working and extremely knowledgeable. No question was too silly , no problem was too great for her. I trusted her advice 100% and was more than happy to take her lead. She held my hand every step of the way and for that I will be forever grateful. I have already recommended her to others and will continue to do so. I wouldn't hesitate to use Winston Solicitors in the future

I am extremely grateful for the support and guidance I received throughout my financial consent order process.Wendy was direct, practical, and very human in her approach. She handled my matter personally, which made a huge difference. I did not feel like I was being passed between assistants or treated like just another case. I felt properly listened to and supported.This was an extremely stressful process for me, but I trusted Wendy completely. Her advice was clear and realistic, and she helped me understand what mattered and how best to move forward.The wording she used in my consent order was particularly strong. She understood my situation accurately and phrased it in a way that clearly explained the reality of the marriage and the financial arrangements. I believe this careful and intelligent wording helped the court understand the case properly and approve the order.I recommend Wendy very highly. She made a very stressful process feel less overwhelming and helped me achieve the outcome I needed.
