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.
I had another lawyer before. I totally recommend the service of Goodman Ray. They are fast, efficient and thorough. Sheeja in particular worked with me in the most professional and humane way. She is one of the best I have ever met and I have no words to thank her for her perfect work.
I wanted to let you know how wonderful Hannah was in all my dealings with her before, during and after the hearing
The statement that she drafted for the client was of the same high quality one would expect of an experienced family lawyer. It was focussed and understated whilst at the same time getting across the points made by a difficult client in a clear and insightful way.
She had established a good rapport with the client and the interpreter. She prepared excellent notes of the evidence. At one point we had to share our note to try and agree a note of the expert’s evidence and it became clear that Hannah’s note was by far the best and most comprehensive. All counsel commended her for this.
She was a good source of support for me an actioned any request I made quickly and without fuss.
I feel sure that she will become an excellent solicitor and you are lucky to have her.
Thomas Brownrigg is one of the most impressive lawyers I have worked with. He is equally talented at both children and finance work and this means clients facing both issues have continuity with their representation. He has fantastic knowledge of the law and is a master strategist.

She is organised, calm under pressure and personable. She gives good, clear advice.
I am so grateful to Goodman Ray and Hannah Perry specifically for getting my family through the most difficult of times and all the way to the strongest position we could be in for the future of my children. I don’t think we could have had a better solicitor. Hannah held me emotionally when things were hard while looking clearly at what needed to be done and managed to support me with empathy when I needed to do the more difficult tasks. I will always be grateful for the work of the legal team at Goodman Ray.
Peggy is a fantastic advocate whose energy and commitment is unrivalled.

Laura was recommended to me by a fellow solicitor who had also been through the divorce process. She expertly dealt with the numerous financial issues that arose and was firm but practical in her approach to how she came to the final settlement. She was very clear and explained each step as we went along, which alleviated much of my anxiety. I am hugely grateful to her for her calm handling of the opposition solicitor who was extremely aggressive and for progressing the case to its conclusion.
I think it is the first time we have managed to speak to each other – I am so happy to hear your voice, Hannah! I want to thank you for the incredible work you have done on my case…
Tom Brownrigg is expansive in laying out options, potential ways forward, key risks, but also brings common sense and views on what is to expect to the table.
