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.
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.
It is so so difficult but even when you don’t think you can carry on, Sheeja and Olivia will be your backbone and guide you through professionally and with compassion, I could not have got through this without their ongoing support. You can win this battle with them even when things feel like they are not going your way, I will be eternally grateful for what they have done for me, don’t give up, they will be there for you! x

Trudi Featherstone is a fabulous mediator. She is really sensible, really pragmatic and really takes on board the individuals she’s dealing with.
One of the best law firms for children work in the country.
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.
Everyone at Goodman Ray is just excellent. The recruitment, both external and internal, is very solid.
Tom is dedicated and gets a quick grasp of the personalities and issues involved in cases with complex dynamics.
Ann Thompson has ‘the ability to work tirelessly and thoroughly 24/7, while caring for her clients’ needs.

Commentators describe her as an “intellectually elegant” lawyer who “guides her clients with the benefit of much accumulated experience and real empathy.
Without your support throughout the case this result would not have been possible.
She’s very good and has a wonderful manner. Her instincts are really thoroughly excellent. She’s also persuasive, child welfare-driven and a good fighter.
Catriona is a pleasure to work with. She always provides sound, sensible advice.
