Kevin Skinner is highly experienced with litigation – so can be relied on to take decisions about how to run a case including all the practicalities involved with appeals and applications. His knowledge of the law and judgments of the merits is also so sure that it is a pleasure to work with him. This is not a statement I would offer for many of my instructing solicitors.

Dear Shabina… you worked incredibly hard to get me back and showed me so much compassion and understanding. You were the one who understood the severity of my situation even when the police had no clue. I think about you most times. I really appreciate everything you have done for me. Without you this wouldn’t have been possible…

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.

Sheeja represented me in many court cases over a two year period, because of her I was able to obtain 3 non molestation orders and won the battle of keeping my child safe after my abuser was found guilty of everything that was done to me. Sheeja is professional, understanding and will support you through every step, explaining when you have questions and giving you the strength when you think you have nothing left. She is a credit to the company and an advocate for woman and children. I will forever be grateful for what she has done for me.

Her experience in international children law is second to none.
