The team was very thorough and responsive. They were quick to reassure me and to guide me whenever I contacted them in a panic, which was a real boon.
Peggy Ray really is a pioneer when it comes to justice in family law. I am always utterly impressed by the kind of actions she is taking, not just on a case-by-case basis, but on matters of policy and trying to change the way the family legal system works at a government level.
The team is capable of taking on complex cases against ‘magic circle’ firms, including with an international element.
Kevin shows excellent judgement in his cases, knowing which arguments will be most effective.
Peggy is known as Mrs Care – she is a real figurehead in this area.
I worked with Trudi and Hannah on a long-running, intractable and very difficult case. Hannah was excellent, performing way beyond her experience. She was on top of the detail, very efficient (with me, the client, the court and the opposition) and effective. I was also very impressed with her client-handling, which was exemplary and befitted a solicitor of far more experience than she in fact has. Furthermore, she appeared unflappable and calm, as well as good humoured at all times, despite the many (and unusual) which arose in the case.
Kevin is really good at understanding where the important aspect of the case is and directs his efforts towards that rather than less important matters.
Ann Thompson is excellent – excellent communicator with clients, particularly adept at dealing with vulnerable or challenging clients.
“They are a good, steady pair of hands – you know with a firm like Goodman Ray that parents will get the best representation possible.”
When you have something that’s really difficult, she’s going to be top of your list.
A caring, considerate, knowledgeable, strong advocate who knows the facts of her cases very well and has a good intuition of the issues.
Peggy has made a real impact in children law. She is always tenacious, which is backed by her wealth of knowledge and experience.
Kevin Skinner has decades of experience in international cases and knows the law better than most. Clients adore his can-do attitude and he finds flexible solutions.
Thomas Brownrigg is a standout family lawyer for finance and children disputes. Very good with cohabitation and modern family cases. Technically brilliant with a fine attention to detail. Tremendous lateral thinker. Extremely good at negotiation. Always popular with clients.
“Peggy Ray really is a pioneer when it comes to justice in family law. I am always utterly impressed by the kind of actions she is taking, not just on a case-by-case basis, but on matters of policy and trying to change the way the family legal system works at a government level.”
She reads absolutely everything, analyses it and presents it in a way that is entirely sensible, and she’s hugely empathetic.
Jemma brings an innovative and creative approach to things and she takes chances. She follows her instincts and her instincts are usually right.
An exceptional individual who is really well prepared, hard-working and caring.
Trudi Featherstone is a brilliant lawyer and Goodman Ray are an excellent firm who supported what was a very difficult few years for me. Trudi knows the law so well but more than that she is kind, empathetic, calm in crisis and highly responsive. I am so grateful for the advice, support and care I received. I highly recommend Trudi and Goodman Ray.
Tom is incredibly reassuring and able to deal with every aspect of the issues and concerns that come up, meaning clients feel supported.
Thank you also to you. You have made a very difficult & heart wrenching process so much more bearable than it could have been. Your patience with my ramblings has been admirable & how you managed to extract anything sensible is impressive!
Clients speak very highly of Tom Brownrigg. He understands clients and mediates both children and finance cases. He is a very safe pair of hands and someone who has the experience and skill to help clients solve even the trickiest of issues.
