I changed solicitors during my proceedings for a personal family law case. After weeks of calls, research, and trying to find the right legal help and understanding, I was appointed Rachael Brown of Goodman Ray. I cannot explain how happy I was… I had truly lost hope at that point and felt so lucky when I knew they was able to help me.
From the very beginning, Rachael’s knowledge, expertise, patience, and understanding were outstanding. I honestly cannot imagine how I would have managed this journey without her support and guidance. She helped me understand everything, be pragmatic yet grounded and just gave me the best possible chance with the whole situation. Changing solicitors when I did was the best decision I could have made, and I truly believe the outcome and overall experience would have been very different otherwise.
Kevin can really cut through things and see the end goal. He is a strategist who is planning how to resolve a case from the early stages.

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.
