about us


Goodman Ray specialises in family law, including the financial aspects of marriage, co-habitation and divorce, and has major expertise in cases involving children.

The firm was co-founded by Peggy Ray in 1985, and now has a team of eleven lawyers, supported by secretarial and administrative staff.

With over 20 years of commitment at the forefront of legal aid work we offer the same high level of service to publicly funded and private clients alike.

Many of our clients come to us at times of uncertainty and stress. We provide a friendly and straightforward service, with a clear explanation of the options facing you at each stage. This is complemented by expert advice when you need it, enabling you to make well-informed decisions. We aim to ensure that you stay in control of the process, even if it is lengthy and complex.

We are also recognised for our determination in promoting our clients' interests. In doing so, our experience allows us to take a family-centred view, and to advise you on how to avoid unnecessary and unhelpful conflict.
