“If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of being subject to an investigation by the SRA it is inevitably a distressing and extremely stressful situation.
I initially attempted to deal with the investigation myself however for a variety of reasons it became apparent that this was not a sensible course of action if I wished to adequately address the issues raised therefore my family and I decided to obtain specialist advice and representation a decision which with hindsight I would urge anyone in a similar position to take sooner rather than later .
We located Jonathan Goodwin from an article in the Gazette and subsequently from his reviews which if you find yourself engaged with the SRA I would strongly suggest that you consider as they present an entirely accurate reflection of my experience with Jonathan and his Practice .
It became immediately apparent from my initial conversations with Jonathan that he was extraordinarily familiar with the SRA Principles and the associated rules regulations and procedures involved in their application.
In addition and equally as important to me at that juncture I found Jonathan to be very approachable entirely non-judgemental and positive yet transparent in his advice and comments furthermore he was always ready to discuss any particular issue and flexible in his approach.
Johnathan has extensive experience within this area in part acquired by having Prosecuted for the SRA for some twenty years prior to switching to “ defence work “ I believe around eight years ago .
After our initial discussions Jonathan very swiftly gained a complete grasp of the nature of the investigation and the broader contexts within which it originated – this despite the considerable volume of paperwork involved .
The advice I received following Jonathan’s instruction ,his analysis of the position presented by the SRA and the representations which he drafted together with his presentation of our supporting arguments was first class from start to finish . As a direct consequence of Jonathan’s instruction the conclusion of this matter was all that we could have wished.
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Jonathan and his team and would suggest that if you are considering these reviews that you contact him as a matter of urgency as it is beneficial to engage at an early stage in the process .”
