There is no case or situation that Peggy Ray hasn’t been in. She is a brilliant lawyer who is always calm in the most difficult circumstances.
I’m incredibly glad I chose Goodman Ray, and especially grateful to have had Kevin Skinner as my solicitor. Kevin’s professionalism, clarity, and calm guidance made all the difference during an emotionally challenging case. He was always thoroughly prepared, insightful, and genuinely committed to securing the best possible outcome. I felt supported and informed at every step, and his strategic thinking gave me real confidence. Highly recommended
Without your support throughout the case this result would not have been possible.
He is very focused on the child’s best interests in the cases he does – he’s the best person out there representing children.
Ann Thompson is ‘vastly experienced in international children law – a steely fighter and a master strategist.
Janet Broadley is quite exceptional as a solicitor. Her dedication to her clients is second-to-none. She often represents children in international cases and consistently achieves fabulous outcomes for them.
I wanted to take the opportunity to extend my professional compliments regarding the excellent presentation of the most recent brief in the matter. It was very well considered and of enormous assistance.
Kevin has a keen intellect and is a great strategist. He is also very skilled at giving difficult advice to vulnerable clients to ensure that their position is protected as much as possible.
Catriona provides great all-round advice and inspires confidence.
Jemma Dally draws praise for her expert handling of both domestic and international matters related to adoption and surrogacy. She is also adept at fertility cases and family matters with immigration elements.
Trudi is a caring mediator with high standards who holds the space for clients
… thank you for all your hard work, patience and support. It really really made a difference and just thinking of the alternative would have been so so difficult. I feel very empowered by being on the stand… The opposite of what I feared as it is something I have dreaded for two years.
She is professional, goal oriented and compassionate. It’s hard to get all those qualities in one person but that’s exactly what I got. You need someone like Sheeja on your side. I would remain always grateful.
“Peggy is a fantastic advocate whose energy and commitment is unrivalled.”
Tom Brownrigg is a very good mediator and I would thoroughly endorse his skills.
The team is very well regarded for representing children in complex domestic proceedings.
Kevin Skinner is a really fantastic lawyer and very popular with his clients as they feel supported and listened to.
Tom Brownrigg is expansive in laying out options, potential ways forward, key risks, but also brings common sense and views on what is to expect to the table.
What stands out is the strong leadership of Peggy Ray and the coherence of the family team. It always feels that behind the instruction of each solicitor, you are getting the Rolls-Royce service of the whole team. Their breadth of practice is second-to-none.
I am so grateful to Goodman Ray and Hannah Perry specifically for getting my family through the most difficult of times and all the way to the strongest position we could be in for the future of my children. I don’t think we could have had a better solicitor. Hannah held me emotionally when things were hard while looking clearly at what needed to be done and managed to support me with empathy when I needed to do the more difficult tasks. I will always be grateful for the work of the legal team at Goodman Ray.
Thomas Brownrigg has a fantastic head for numbers and he is very easy to communicate with and talk to. He is able to deal with really complicated cases.
I think your commitment to victims of domestic abuse is inspiring and all your clients are lucky to have someone like you fighting in their corner.
Trudi Featherstone is great on mediation in complicated money cases. She’s such good value for money as she’s an experienced partner. She is good at building a relationship with clients very quickly.
Jemma Dally is a no-nonsense force to be reckoned with. Jemma was unflappable and sensitive, but firm throughout. She is always completely on top of the case, and totally dedicated. She makes each client feel like they are her only one.
Their support comes with that extra level of knowledge and experience.
