“I was facing three serious allegations of dishonesty brought against me by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. These allegations struck at the very heart of my identity—not only as a solicitor, but as a person of integrity. The weight of those accusations was unbearable at times. I lived with them hanging over my head for 4 years, and the fear of losing everything I had worked for became an ever-present reality.
When I found Jon Goodwin, I was emotionally depleted and spiritually exhausted. But from the moment we spoke, I felt seen. Jon didn’t just offer legal advice—he offered understanding, compassion, and an unwavering belief in my case. Throughout the entire process, he held my hand. He explained everything clearly, calmed my anxieties, and never made me feel like I was alone in the fight. He was consistent, kind, responsive, and incredibly human—qualities that made all the difference in a process as dehumanising as this one.
We prepared for a three-day tribunal hearing, which was daunting in every way. But watching Jon in action was something I will never forget. As someone who loves legal dramas, I thought I knew what sharp advocacy looked like—but Jon surpassed it all. His attention to detail was astonishing. His ability to investigate, draw out key inconsistencies, and present my truth with precision and conviction was like nothing I’ve ever seen.
He was methodical, eloquent, and unshakable. Every point was supported with carefully researched case law. Every argument was tailored, relevant, and persuasive. He dissected the case against me with both grace and power—ensuring the tribunal understood not only the facts, but the context, the evidence, and the inconsistencies in the claims made against me.
At the end of the three-day hearing, the result came in: the allegations were found to be not proven. I had my name back. My career, my reputation, and my peace were restored.
I cannot describe what that moment felt like. After years of stress and fear, I finally exhaled. It was the first time I had breathed freely in a long time. And even after the hearing ended, Jon didn’t disappear. He followed up, checked in, and reminded me that I had every right to hold my head high again.
There are lawyers who do the job, and there are lawyers who change lives. Jon is the latter. His advocacy is unmatched. His service is deeply personal. His integrity is evident in everything he does. I owe him more than words can say.
If you are facing serious legal proceedings, especially those involving allegations that threaten your entire career and reputation, Jon Goodwin is the person you want standing beside you. He stood beside me—and I will forever be grateful.”
