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 wanted to let you know how grateful I am for all your hard work. Getting divorced was a major unexpected life event for me which came with many emotions and a confusing world to navigate personally and legally. You were an important voice when I was overwhelmed with anger and broken heartedness and I wanted to say thank you for all your support and guidance from the start to the very end. I’m sure you have many clients, so your prompt responses and attention to detail really meant a lot to me and helped me regain my voice. I am back on my feet again and loving this new chapter in my life. Thank you again for your excellent work and professionalism.

I have been getting help from Goodman Ray Solicitors for a few years now and they have always been so very helpful I definitely recommend
“I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Hannah Perry (lawyer), Michael Gration (barrister), and the administration team for their outstanding support during my family case, which they handled on a pro bono.
Hannah Perry was truly a ray of sunshine throughout this challenging process. She is a remarkable listener and consistently provided clear, genuine, and compassionate advice. Her professionalism and warmth made me feel understood and supported every step of the way.
Michael Gration, an exceptionally skilled and experienced barrister, was equally impressive. In court, he demonstrated sharp insight, precision, and a deep understanding of family law. He truly “hit every nail on the head,” presenting my case with confidence, intelligence, and great care.
If you are seeking a legal team who will fight for you while keeping your family’s best interests at heart, who aim to unite rather than destroy. I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to their law firm. Their dedication and expertise made all the difference.”
Goodman Ray is capable of doing almost every type of case. It has got a range of talent across the board and is a one stop shop for every aspect of family law.
A hidden gem that is very good on both children and finances.
Emma Sherrington turned my case around, and brought about the best possible outcome. I was grateful for her straight talking , clear cut approach that guided my case to a positive conclusion. Thank you Emma and Goodman Ray.
