Having read your letter I would like to thank you for doing your duties emphatically and supporting me though this difficult time by your professionalism. At a time where I was being judged and condemned by various people you fought my corner I believed at the very least reflected my views and side of the story.
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.
This is just an email to tell you how much I appreciate your guidance and hard work during these proceedings. I am very confident in saying that I wouldn’t be in the position I am in if it wasn’t for your hard work and guidance.
Hannah shows huge attention to detail and provides a voice to vulnerable clients.
When you have something that’s really difficult, she’s going to be top of your list.
Tom Brownrigg is a very good mediator and I would thoroughly endorse his skills.
I have worked with Goodman Ray for ten years or more undertaking financial remedy work. Many of those cases have had a large and complex international element, others have involved uncovering gross non-disclosure by the other party and almost all have been cases where the asset base is complicated by trusts, private limited company structures or complex third-party interests and claims.
What I have consistently found is that Goodman Ray offer quality that is just as effective and professional as the ‘magic circle’ sets of solicitors but do so with a strong personal commitment, offer empathetic advice and consistent maintain a clear focus on achieving successful outcomes at proportionate cost to the clients. I routinely recommend Goodman Ray’s financial remedy team to others and including to my own directly instructed clients when their cases need the involvement of a solicitor.
Sheeja Sukumaran and her team were professional and decisive, they kept me informed at every step. They immediately took an extremely stressful situation and dealt with it, supporting me and easing the burden. Their expertise and understanding helped to achieve the best possible outcome. I’d always recommend Goodman Ray solicitors.
Very professional and very thorough. Would definitely recommend. They helped me through a very difficult period and I can’t thank them enough. A special shout out to Novlet, I wouldn’t have been able to get through this without her. Super helpful and professional. She was dedicated to my case and I can’t sing her praises enough.

Goodman Ray is probably the best firm for international children cases in the current market. Janet Broadley is an outstanding children lawyer. Her knowledge of the law is exceptional. Her level of dedication to her clients’ cases is second to none. She is hugely tenacious and also a great person to work with. She has enormous experience of representing children and rightly lauded as probably the best solicitor specialising in this highly sensitive area.
It is an excellent children’s law practice, with a particular speciality as a leader in the representation of children, and a recognised high-level expertise in international cases.
The way that she works with, and for, her clients has undoubtedly made a difference to the outcome for them as she inspires confidence in her advice which encourages them to follow it to their benefit and they have all expressed to me that they are incredibly grateful to Novlet for the support she has given to them with good reason.
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.
The advice and careful approach that Thomas has really makes you feel comfortable and in control of things.
Catriona is a pleasure to work with. She always provides sound, sensible advice.
Peggy Ray has a powerful and acute intellect, and grapples imaginatively, with maturity of judgment, and (where appropriate) forcefully with difficult and challenging cases. She is a legendary class act. Janet Broadley is a very well-established specialist in international cases, and in particular in Hague Convention child abduction, with experience of very high-level work including in the UKSC and the CJEU. Her legal knowledge and tactical skill are overlaid by an open, sensitive approach ideally suits her to the representation of older children, and she is one of the few ‘go-to’ practitioners who excel at this role.
Sheeja is amazing. She is very upfront and transparent about costs and what can be achieved within specified time frames. There are no hidden fees, and the quality of service is outstanding. I highly recommend Sheeja to anyone who is looking for quality, prompt and experienced advice.

Any client can be 100% sure that Kevin is on their side – his commitment really goes beyond the call of duty.
Janet Broadley is a remarkable figure. She is a very tactical operator and a force to be reckoned with.
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.
