I have recently worked with Samira and Dervinder, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service I received. From the very beginning, they were both professional, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable. They took the time to explain every step of the legal process in clear and understandable terms, and their attention to detail and genuine care for achieving the best possible outcome truly stood out. 10 out of 10!

From first contacting Winstons Solicitor, I was really impressed with the care, concern and empathy with which I was met. My subsequent meeting with Samira continued in the same way and I was able to benefit from clear, concise and invaluable professional advice clearly gained from years of experience. Thank you.

Amazing service from Winston Solicitors. Through my settlement agreement Dervinder explained everything thoroughly and helped understand what it was, what it meant and where changes were needed they sorted this to the timeline that was set. They were proactive and responded to all queries. They were very helpful and would recommend them completely as they explain in understandable terms for someone with limited knowledge of the process Thank you so much all!

Dervinder was a great help at calmly explaining all the details and processes. I felt confident during the engagement that everything was under control and he made my life simpler by sorting things out in a timely manner with no chasing.
