Jonathan Dwek

Tagged solicitor Jonathan Dwek

Farley Dwek was recommended to us and we are so glad that we took up the recommendation. We found out by pure chance that our mum had been charged unlawful top up fees for several years which amounted to a lot of money. Jonathan always gave us excellent advice, he gave us a very honest view of our position and managed our expectations. We felt that he was professional, but passionate and committed to helping us to achieve the best outcome possible, along with being approachable and empathetic. Because of his support and advice the care home agreed to refund all the overpayments along with interest, which will make a huge difference to mums future care needs. We would recommend that anyone who thinks they may be being charged unlawful top up fees in a care home to contact Farley Dwek, we’re so glad we did.
