    What Clients Say

    guide to SDT and SRA Proceedings 10.12.19

    “Being a solicitor is already very demanding and the last thing one needs is a misconceived SRA investigation to grapple with. To rub salt in the wound, those investigating have no actual experience of the cut and thrust of modern legal practise, yet wield such power so as to potentially end one’s career.

    From my experience, it is nigh on impossible to be “professionally dispassionate” about one’s own case. There is an acute need for independent representation such as Jon Goodwin. We should all aspire to Jon’s high level of service. He is personable, responsive, and knowledgeable about the process, the possible permutations and outcomes.

    What makes Jon stand out is his attitude. He has a very evident desire to roll up his sleeves and set about dismantling the SRA allegations in the most robust way possible. This is evident very early on. Like a champion boxer, he gets into the ring to fight your corner with every ounce of his energy and well-trained muscle fibre deployed to your advantage. This is in stark contrast to other decidedly uninterested and cold solicitors who are more interested in fees rather than fighting.

    Jon utilises well written, robust, impressive, “punchy” representations as his upper cuts and haymakers to deliver the knock-out blow to the SRA investigation. His written work is a league above most due to its clarity, precision and ingenuity of argument. The inherent and obvious quality is reassuring as a client and has the required impact in defeating SRA allegations. It is the written equivalent of watching an outstanding KC in court or an Oscar winning actor.

    His competitive advantage is being a solicitor advocate constantly in the ring fighting. Consequently, Jon has honed a great professional instinct as to how the SDT/SRA think and operate due to his wealth of Tribunal experience. It also offers financial advantages as everything is provided by one person.

    Thanks to Jon’s efforts, the SRA investigation was ended early before the SDT stage. After two years of investigation the elation is indescribable when the No Further Action letter was received. One only realises the profound effect of an investigation and just how heavily it weighed on one’s soul when it ends. The permanent dark cloud overhead lifts and gives way to bright sunny skies.

    Jon is highly recommended not only for his written work and service but for taking great personal and professional delight in delivering the good news in person to his clients when he successfully brings yet another SRA investigation to an early end.”
