What Clients Say

“I instructed Jon the moment I was notified that the SRA were investigating me, and I would advise anyone to do the same. Jon is immediately able to put things in context, explain what may happen and liaise with the SRA on your behalf. This adds real value when you are going through such a difficult and emotional time and when anxiety may undermine your better judgment. The investigation in my case took an extremely long time; however, Jon made robust submissions to the SRA regarding the impact of the delay on my mental health and highlighted repeatedly to them the apparent defects in the case. Ultimately, the SRA confirmed no further action would be taken and closed their file. This has, without doubt, been the most difficult and stressful time in my life. Jon was extremely responsive and able to help me rationalise and keep grounded when my feelings risked overwhelming me, and in particular when my anxiety risked me reading more into things than I should have done. My advice to anyone facing a similar situation would be ‘don’t ever go through this alone and don’t hesitate to get in touch with Jon”.
