Helen Evennett is highlighted for her experience in Children matters including care proceedings and has an “excellent rapport with clients”.
He is highly committed to his clients and pursues their cases ferociously and with total commitment.
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.
Trudi has always been attentive, honest and clear in her advice to me. She has guided me through difficult negotiations and decisions with a view to reaching a practical, working, long-term solution.
She was a no-nonsense lawyer with a huge amount of integrity and the ability to really show empathy.

Janet Broadley (also a consultant) is ‘extremely experienced in international children work; she has a real eye for detail and a calm and reassuring manner.
Jemma brings an innovative and creative approach to things and she takes chances. She follows her instincts and her instincts are usually right.
I have worked with [Hannah] on cases at Goodman Ray for a number of years… Hannah has a strong work ethic, is careful and meticulous in her preparation but also manages to be warm, empathetic and focused on solutions rather than conflict and perpetuating litigation. Where a case demands it, Hannah is also tough and determined in her defence of our client’s interest. It is for this reason that I now advise my own direct access clients to instruct Hannah when their case demanded the involvement of a solicitor. Hannah is a great solicitor and a super-star in the making.
Goodman Ray has always been at the forefront of family law, particularly the law as it relates to children. The firm has never rested on its laurels and the team is highly positive and effective with outstanding lawyers.

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!
She doesn’t bat an eyelid at a case; she can manage all the issues that arise because she has seen it all before. Emma is very bright, able and good with clients.
She really fights her client’s corner and is able to gain the confidence of the most difficult and vulnerable of clients.
If I can give Goodman Ray more than 5 stars I would definitely do. They deserve more than 5 stars, especially Emma Sherrington. She was my solicitor. She was in constant communication with me throughout the case, and even during her vacation, she used to appoint someone to replace her. She was quick to respond to messages and emails. Very strong and skilled in her field. Her legal view and advice were always on point. I am wordless to thank her. Honestly, I am lucky that my case came to her. and I am pleased to have met her.
As soon as clients are in touch with her they feel very much at ease. They know they’re dealing with someone who has a proper eye on detail and a calm, measured approach to work.
