I have worked with [Hannah<\/a>] on cases at Goodman Ray for a number of years\u2026 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t

I wanted to let you know how wonderful Hannah<\/a> was in all my dealings with her before, during and after the hearing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statement that she drafted for the client was of the same high quality one would expect of an experienced family lawyer.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She had established a good rapport with the client and the interpreter.\u00a0 She prepared excellent notes of the evidence.\u00a0 At one point we had to share our note to try and agree a note of the expert\u2019s evidence and it became clear that Hannah\u2019s note was by far the best and most comprehensive.\u00a0 All counsel commended her for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was a good source of support for me an actioned any request I made quickly and without fuss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel sure that she will beco<\/em>me an excellent solicitor and you are lucky to have her.<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t
