Hannah you’re a very clever lady….Justice has finally been served…I’m free!!! I can’t believe it. I can concentrate on my own health and welfare now, without worrying how I’ll manage. If you can put a value on peace of mind this is it. Thanks so much Hannah.

Emma Sherrington turned my case around, and brought about the best possible outcome. I was grateful for her straight talking , clear cut approach that guided my case to a positive conclusion. Thank you Emma and Goodman Ray.

I wanted to let you know how grateful I am for all your hard work. Getting divorced was a major unexpected life event for me which came with many emotions and a confusing world to navigate personally and legally. You were an important voice when I was overwhelmed with anger and broken heartedness and I wanted to say thank you for all your support and guidance from the start to the very end. I’m sure you have many clients, so your prompt responses and attention to detail really meant a lot to me and helped me regain my voice. I am back on my feet again and loving this new chapter in my life. Thank you again for your excellent work and professionalism.

I have worked with Goodman Ray for ten years or more undertaking financial remedy work. Many of those cases have had a large and complex international element, others have involved uncovering gross non-disclosure by the other party and almost all have been cases where the asset base is complicated by trusts, private limited company structures or complex third-party interests and claims. 

What I have consistently found is that Goodman Ray offer quality that is just as effective and professional as the ‘magic circle’ sets of solicitors but do so with a strong personal commitment, offer empathetic advice and consistent maintain a clear focus on achieving successful outcomes at proportionate cost to the clients. I routinely recommend Goodman Ray’s financial remedy team to others and including to my own directly instructed clients when their cases need the involvement of a solicitor.

She is extremely creative, very bright and great with clients. Jemma is very child- focused and is really good at handling challenging cases.

Thomas Brownrigg is technically brilliant with a fine attention to detail. Speaks with calmness and authority that sets the clients at ease.

Janet Broadley is an expert mediator and litigator with vast experience in Hague Convention proceedings such as international abduction cases. She garners praise for her expertise in jurisdictional disputes, and regularly represents parents in overseas relocations.

Emma is a creative thinker who is focused on how to get to a solution quickly and effectively.

Peggy Ray is imperious as a children and human rights lawyer.

Trudi Featherstone is meticulous in her approach with clients, consideration of the issues in hand and the subsequent preparation of documentation. She is fast becoming London’s preeminent mediator.”

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.

Jemma Dally draws praise for her expert handling of adoption and surrogacy issues. She is also adept at fertility cases and family matters with immigration elements. Her practice includes both domestic and international adoptions.

He ensures his communication is excellent throughout and he retains a view of the big picture while also considering the detail.

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!

Hannah is incredibly organised and very forensic in her analysis of a case.

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…
