Ann Thompson has ‘the ability to work tirelessly and thoroughly 24/7, while caring for her clients’ needs.
Trudi Featherstone is simply one of the best mediators in the country. Trudi is knowledgeable, dynamic and compassionate, and she’s always seeking to achieve the best outcome for her clients.
Trudi Featherstone is very focused on taking the details and getting a resolution. She is a joy on the other side. I also really rate her as a mediator. She approaches the case like she really cares about the family. She adapts her style and reads the room.
Kevin is a big name in the field and has expertise in more than one heavyweight area of public law.
Thank you also to you. You have made a very difficult & heart wrenching process so much more bearable than it could have been. Your patience with my ramblings has been admirable & how you managed to extract anything sensible is impressive!
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.
Trudi has always been attentive, honest and clear in her advice to me. She has guided me through difficult negotiations and decisions with a view to reaching a practical, working, long-term solution.
I’m extremely grateful to Kevin Skinner of Goodman Ray Solicitors who helped me through a Hague Convention abduction case. It was an extremely difficult and stressful time for me, but Kevin was professional, approachable, knowledgeable and calm. He kept me informed at all times, putting my mind at ease, and advising of the best approach to take. I would highly recommend to anyone needing legal expertise.
I had another lawyer before. I totally recommend the service of Goodman Ray. They are fast, efficient and thorough. Sheeja in particular worked with me in the most professional and humane way. She is one of the best I have ever met and I have no words to thank her for her perfect work.
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.
An exceptional individual who is really well prepared, hard-working and caring.
Trudi Featherstone is one of the ‘go-to’ family mediators, particularly for tricky finance matters. Great knowledge, great manner, excellent value for money.
Clear and straightforward advice, she is incredibly empathetic and supportive.
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.
Jemma brings an innovative and creative approach to things and she takes chances. She follows her instincts and her instincts are usually right.
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… I feel sure that she will become an excellent solicitor [when she qualifies] and you are lucky to have her.
Kevin Skinner is absolutely brilliant at what he does and gets his clients to the best place he can as quickly as possible.
The team is capable of taking on complex cases against ‘magic circle’ firms, including with an international element.
Her knowledge of adoption law, her dedication to our case, her honesty about the reality of it, alongside her kindness, make her a special human and exceptional lawyer.
Thomas Brownrigg is a very talented lawyer with the requisite technical ability and judgement.
His preparation, commitment to running client cases and the way he navigates cases is incredible to watch. Kevin is really dedicated and driven.
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.
Goodman Ray has an authentic client-first approach.
Goodman Ray is a fantastic, highly experienced firm with great depth of expertise and standing in the family law world.
Even if she has to present a difficult position, she does it expertly and brings people along with her. She is very good at case planning and strategy.
Everyone at Goodman Ray is just excellent. The recruitment, both external and internal, is very solid.
Goodman Ray is a hard-working firm. They think outside the box to secure good outcomes for clients.
