For the second year running, two members of staff from Winston Solicitors, in Roundhay, went to talk to pupils at Woodkirk Academy in Wakefield during the school’s Annual Careers Fair.

Joanna Longfellow, a private client solicitor, along with colleague Hannah Snellin, a litigation executive, chatted to students from Years 11 to 13. After the 500 students visited the careers event, the sixth form students were invited to attend law classes, where the Winston Solicitors team held a question and answer session. This gave the students an opportunity to gain a valuable insight into the legal profession, helping the students to make informed choices about their own career paths.

Client feedback

I could not recommend highly enough James at Winston’s Solicitors. He has been professional, understanding and supportive throughout. Excellent communication, which was always timely and clear. The continuing health care funding process is extremely complicated to navigate alone but with James’ knowledge and support it took a great deal of stress out of it. Thank you!

I had a lot of trouble with purchasing a house due to external reasons. Through the entire timeline Olivia was always keeping me updated, and responded fast to emails, something you don't get very often from solicitors! She did her best to meet deadlines and I genuinely felt they cared about the sale for me

We had a great experience with Leasa, who acted for us during our property purchase. She was quick, efficient, professional, and kept everything moving smoothly. We really appreciated her support throughout the process and would highly recommend her services.

Second time using Olivia at Winston Solicitors and once again she delivered. Impeccable service and completed my remortgage within the desired timeframe. Efficient, straightforward and simple.

Cannot recommend highly enough. The stress was taken out of everything. No brainer. No fee's to outlay upfront. No win no fee does exactly what it says. Was kept informed throughout and both Debbie and Amanda who looked after my case were very professional and a pleasure to deal with. Have no hesitation in recommending.

Lisa

We are first time buyers and were new to the process of buying a house but our solicitor, Leasa, explained everything clearly to us and was the best solicitor we could wish for in this situation: She was super efficient, thorough, and we had great communication throughout, which was extremely useful. Things got done fast and to a high standard, and Leasa was able to spot things the seller's solicitor wasn't. Everything was super quick and within the timeline we set, so we can highly recommend this firm and have done so to friends who are also buying a house, five stars!

Conveyancing process only took a couple of months, always informed, never had to chase anything up.
