Practice Manager, Jean Kennedy, and Family Solicitor, Joanna Wrigley, went back to school last week but this time they were the ones being called ‘Miss’.

Woodkirk Academy played host to a Careers Fair for over 500 students from the school. Among the exhibitors were the RAF, Army and West Yorkshire Police to mention just a few.

The students were able to speak to the Winston Staff to get advice on a career in law. Joanna was able to share her experience of becoming a solicitor and reminisce about her school life as she had attended Woodkirk herself.

Joanna said: ‘Going back to school and seeing the teachers again was a surreal experience but a thoroughly enjoyable one as I got the opportunity to speak to students who were considering a career in law and provided them with an insight into my day-to-day life as a family solicitor. I felt as though the students were genuinely enthused and appreciated the advice Jean and I gave and we have received extremely positive feedback from Woodkirk Academy.’

Winston Solicitors was recommended to me, as this was my first time buying a house and didn’t know what to expect. They made the process very easy and I did not have to worry about any of the process as I got to track it every step of the way. Samantha also kept me updated and any queries were replied to promptly. I will definitely be using again in the future and recommend everyone I know.
Mr Michel
I can’t speak highly enough of Sidraa at Winston Solicitors for her exceptional support throughout my house purchase. From start to finish, she has been absolutely brilliant. Her prompt responses, attention to detail, and professionalism made a stressful process feel manageable and smooth. This is actually the second time I’ve used Winston Solicitors, and once again, they have been great. Consistent, reliable, and professional and Sidraa in particular truly went above and beyond. She was always kind, polite, and incredibly approachable, nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Even when dealing with a particularly difficult chain and the added pressure of a new stamp duty deadline, she worked tirelessly to get everything done on time. She responded to queries even out of hours, always called back when she said she would, and genuinely made me feel like a priority. What really stood out to me was her dedication — despite having preplanned annual leave for Eid, she still tried to keep things moving, which shows how committed she is to her clients. Her communication was clear and consistent, and she made a complex process feel a lot less daunting. I felt fully supported and in safe hands throughout. If you're looking for a solicitor who is professional, caring, and truly exceptional at what she does, Sidraa at Winston Solicitors is the one to go to. I’m incredibly grateful for everything she did and wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again or recommend her to others. - April 2025
