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.
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.
There is no case or situation that Peggy Ray hasn’t been in, She is brilliant lawyer who is always calm in the most difficult circumstances.
The advice and careful approach that Thomas has really makes you feel comfortable and in control of things.
