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 also to you. You have made a very difficult and heart wrenching so much more bearable than it could have been. Your patience with my ramblings has been admirable and how you managed to extract anything sensible is impressive!
Talking to you gave me great peace of mind and a direction of travel. Again thank you for your time and much appreciated advice.

If you are looking for legal advice from someone who has your best interests and has very in-depth knowledge then I couldn’t recommend anyone more than Ashley. He reassured me and navigated me through very difficult times & I feel like he genuinely cared. Thank you for everything!

Goodman Ray is a leading firm doing cutting-edge work for a diverse range of clients with a broad range of needs. They go the extra mile for their clients, working really hard to get the right result.
I worked with Trudi and Hannah on a long-running, intractable and very difficult case. Hannah was excellent, performing way beyond her experience. She was on top of the detail, very efficient (with me, the client, the court and the opposition) and effective. I was also very impressed with her client-handling, which was exemplary and befitted a solicitor of far more experience than she in fact has. Furthermore, she appeared unflappable and calm, as well as good humoured at all times, despite the many (and unusual) which arose in the case.
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.
This is a fantastic result! It’s better than I hoped for…
Trudi Featherstone is great in mediation in complicated money cases. She’s such good value for money as she’s an experienced partner. She is good at building a relationship with clients very quickly.
