Thomas Brownrigg is one of the most impressive lawyers I have worked with. He is equally talented at both children and finance work and this means clients facing both issues have continuity with their representation. He has fantastic knowledge of the law and is a master strategist.
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.
The team was very thorough and responsive. They were quick to reassure me and to guide me whenever I contacted them in a panic, which was a real boon.
Thank you for being there for us in one of our hardest struggles, for lending strength to us. Thank you for your commitment, all your kind words of encouragement and excellent service. Your prompt attention and professionalism greatly eased our concerns. You most certainly did justice to your profession.
