Trudi came highly recommended to me as a Divorce, Family and Finance lawyer at a vulnerable time of my life, with a very young child. I found Trudi to be extremely knowledgeable, always professional, personable and caring. She helped me navigate getting the best possible outcome for me and my son. My son is now an adult, yet over the years Trudi has continued to provide advice when asked or made introductions to support, and took interest in our welfare; that she does is amazing and I am grateful to this day. A brilliant Lawyer with a heart too! I am not sure if Trudi knows how much her dedication to her cases particularly complex cases, has transformed lives of others in a significant and positive way. Thank you Trudi for all that you did and continue to do; you are a superstar! The legal profession is better for having you in it, to continue the good fight. I cannot recommend Trudi highly enough.
“I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Hannah Perry (lawyer), Michael Gration (barrister), and the administration team for their outstanding support during my family case, which they handled on a pro bono.
Hannah Perry was truly a ray of sunshine throughout this challenging process. She is a remarkable listener and consistently provided clear, genuine, and compassionate advice. Her professionalism and warmth made me feel understood and supported every step of the way.
Michael Gration, an exceptionally skilled and experienced barrister, was equally impressive. In court, he demonstrated sharp insight, precision, and a deep understanding of family law. He truly “hit every nail on the head,” presenting my case with confidence, intelligence, and great care.
If you are seeking a legal team who will fight for you while keeping your family’s best interests at heart, who aim to unite rather than destroy. I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to their law firm. Their dedication and expertise made all the difference.”
I changed solicitors during my proceedings for a personal family law case. After weeks of calls, research, and trying to find the right legal help and understanding, I was appointed Rachael Brown of Goodman Ray. I cannot explain how happy I was… I had truly lost hope at that point and felt so lucky when I knew they was able to help me.
From the very beginning, Rachael’s knowledge, expertise, patience, and understanding were outstanding. I honestly cannot imagine how I would have managed this journey without her support and guidance. She helped me understand everything, be pragmatic yet grounded and just gave me the best possible chance with the whole situation. Changing solicitors when I did was the best decision I could have made, and I truly believe the outcome and overall experience would have been very different otherwise.
This was one of the hardest things I have ever done, but with Rachael’s guidance I came through it feeling stronger, secure, and with an outcome that is best for my child and my safety. Her support throughout was invaluable, and I will forever be grateful for everything she did for us.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your time and dedication I am eternally grateful. I have never written a google review but believe that’s what led me to reach out to Goodman Ray and hope that I can help someone on their future journey to do the same. Thank you so much!
