I wanted to let you know how wonderful Hannah was in all my dealings with her before, during and after the hearing
The statement that she drafted for the client was of the same high quality one would expect of an experienced family lawyer. 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.
She had established a good rapport with the client and the interpreter. She prepared excellent notes of the evidence. At one point we had to share our note to try and agree a note of the expert’s evidence and it became clear that Hannah’s note was by far the best and most comprehensive. All counsel commended her for this.
She was a good source of support for me an actioned any request I made quickly and without fuss.
I feel sure that she will become an excellent solicitor and you are lucky to have her.

I cannot express how grateful I am to the domestic abuse team at Goodman Ray. Today marks the end of almost 8 years in litigation, with so many other legal professionals unable to secure the result our family have fought so hard for, and only Goodman Ray could provide. I want to commend the absolute brilliance displayed by the team, from the initial enquiry to the final judgement. They have shown compassion and empathy and have renewed my faltering belief, that the truth will always rise in the end. Through careful, diligent, meticulous effort and recommendation of fantastic counsel, Goodman Ray have given me my life back.
I cannot thank them enough. A special mention to Annie, Lucia and Molly, who have put in more than I could have asked. If you need solicitors who show you by action that they truly care, look no further.
