Excellent service, easy to engage and exceptionally responsive.
Jon was a pleasure to deal with, very tenacious and timely. It gave me comfort knowing he had many years of specialist experience which he could leverage to guide me through the fine points and approaches required.

Incredibly helpful and fast support
I was made redundant on maternity leave, whilst also moving house with a baby to think of. Jon helped me incredibly quickly, he was really clear and helpful, a pleasure to work with. It was a relief to get it off my mind and off my plate so quickly. He was understanding and I wouldn’t hesitate to use again if I ever had to. Thank you.

Settlement settled with ease
I can't thank Wollens' Jon Dunkley enough, for the calm, kind and honest advice during my redundancy. Everything was set out plainly, with my options spelled out clearly and the potential outcomes laid out so that it was made very easy to reach a conclusion. Thank you

Maternity Discrimination Case
Unfortunately, I was put into a very stressful and difficult position being made unfairly redundant at 34 weeks pregnant. Jon was absolutely fantastic throughout, knowledgeable, patient and unwaveringly kind. He made the experience bearable and supported us to get a better outcome, thus enabling us to start parenthood on a more stable financial footing. An exceptional asset to Wollens and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

Very helpful
I was helped through the process of selling my company by the sound advice of Jon Dunkley. He amended the proposed agreements resulting in a safer and more favourable process, and better security for me in the future. His advice was down-to-earth and pragmatic and his long experience came across.
