A successful outcome for our family is everything to me and I know it is for Peggy too. I’m so grateful. I would recommended anyone to work with Goodman Ray, they are an amazing team.

Having read your letter I would like to thank you for doing your duties emphatically and supporting me though this difficult time by your professionalism. At a time where I was being judged and condemned by various people you fought my corner I believed at the very least reflected my views and side of the story.
Goodman Ray is one of the leading children law firms in London with an excellent reputation. They attract and retain really good solicitors and it’s always a treat to work with them.
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.
I just wanted to say that Hannah has been amazing. Totally on top of the papers, really supportive and helpful and great with the client.
Working with Novlet is always an immensely positive and motivating experience due to her passion and dedication to her clients which is as infectious as it is heartening in the often-beleaguered field of childcare law.
I retire at the end of next week. I would not be able to do so in the great frame of mind I’m in, without your work and support. I am eternally grateful to you and all at Goodman Ray.

There is no case or situation that Peggy Ray hasn’t been in. She is a brilliant lawyer who is always calm in the most difficult circumstances.
Jemma is fearlessly bright, incredibly dedicated and has the ability to innovate to an extent that few others can replicate.
She reads absolutely everything, analyses it and presents it in a way that is entirely sensible, and she’s hugely empathetic.
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.

An incredibly tenacious group of committed and fearless lawyers.
She is a forerunner in international children law and especially complex surrogacy work.
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.
I only really interacted with Jennifer and I always found her to be very friendly and approaches her work with a really positive enthusiasm. I think that is an admirable working style and makes Jennifer stand out. This way of working was particularly appreciated given what a fractious and difficult process divorce can be.
Emma Sherrington – tenacious advocate for her clients; she is a pleasure to work with; always brings new ideas and is a creative lawyer.
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.
She has such emotional empathy and helps her clients from a position of no judgement – she is remarkable.
Peggy Ray is a titan in this field – when she says things, people listen.
Jemma Dally brings an innovative and creative approach to things and she takes chances. She follows her instincts and her instincts are usually right.
Peggy Ray has a powerful and acute intelligence, and grapples imaginatively, with maturity of judgement, and (where appropriate) forcefully with difficult and challenging cases. She is a legendary class act.
She’s very good and has a wonderful manner. Her instincts are really thoroughly excellent. She’s also persuasive, child welfare-driven and a good fighter.
What clients get from Emma is real experience and understanding of the issues very early on as well as incredibly good strategic guidance from the outset.
She is a forerunner in international children law and especially complex surrogacy work.
Her experience in international children law is second to none.
His preparation, commitment to running client cases and the way he navigates cases is incredible to watch. Kevin is really dedicated and driven.
