What Clients Say

“I instructed Jon Goodwin having received notice from my regulatory body of an investigation. For anyone receiving such correspondence it is the most daunting and frightening experience and despite our own professional capabilities you are entering into the unknown and this is compounded with the knowledge that your livelihood is at risk.

The decision to ring Jon Goodwin will go down as one of my better decisions. Jon is so calm and immediately tackles the issues and advises accordingly. He takes all the pressure off you and takes control of the situation.

Jon’s knowledge of the process is second to none and I instantly felt comfortable with him. Everything Jon told me happened and that made me feel confident throughout the entirety of the process. I always felt Jon was one step ahead.

Do not get sucked into thinking these investigators are your friends.

I was eventually interviewed at the conclusion of the investigation and had Jon not been there and when appropriate challenged the investigator and intervened at times, then my ignorance of matters could have caused me immense problems.

Jon always returns your calls and is efficient with his communication. He is the ultimate professional and also an all round decent man.

It would also be wrong not to give mention to his team and particularly Sharon who is just lovely and understands your stresses. Sharon also exudes complete calm and on the occasions Jon isn’t there or has other commitments I always felt comfortable speaking with Sharon.

I achieved a first class result and I attribute that to Jons advice and guidance. If you’re the subject of a regulatory investigation, immediately instruct Jon as it’s imperative you get it right from the outset.”
