Client feedback

As an Irish company looking for UK solicitors in the Leeds area, we came across your website through searching on Google.  Of the legal firms that I phoned, your receptionist was the only one that put me in contact with a solicitor straight away. The solicitor was David Barker. From my initial brief, David grasped immediately the details of the case, and the complexities of the case. David was so thorough and was always at the other end of a phone call. From the outset David was conscious of cost and always made us aware of the likely costs before work was done. I would have to say dealing with David was a pleasure. Indeed the other staff members in Winston Solicitors, Gemma Boyle, were also very pleasant to deal with. In terms of costs, getting invoices regularly also kept costs focused.   In summary, as in all legal cases, costs are extremely high, but I feel very fortunate to have come across Winston Solicitors and David Barker. David had a real interest in us, our business, and the outcome of the case, and in this regard, the money was well spent.
