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.
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.
