What Clients Say

“I faced an investigation by the SRA earlier this year. Not knowing where to turn for advice I resorted to an internet search. Fortunately the first person I found was Jon.

He was incredibly quick to respond to my enquiry and was available almost immediately to give me initial advice and insight into what I was facing. He was able to give me clear sensible advice and so far as was possible put my mind to rest in what was an incredibly stressful period of time.

I was fortunate that the enquiry I faced turned out to be at the lower end of the spectrum and resulted in no action being taken against me. However anyone facing a situation like this will tell you how frightening and daunting the whole experience can feel.

Jon was quickly available anytime I felt I needed to touch base with him and provided advice in a friendly and non judgemental manner. I’ve no doubt having read the numerous reviews on his website that if I had required more focused representation, he would have been able to provide this- I felt confident and reassured by the help he gave me, and I will always be thankful for his help during a particularly difficult time in my life.”
