Trudi came highly recommended to me as a Divorce, Family and Finance lawyer at a vulnerable time of my life, with a very young child. I found Trudi to be extremely knowledgeable, always professional, personable and caring. She helped me navigate getting the best possible outcome for me and my son. My son is now an adult, yet over the years Trudi has continued to provide advice when asked or made introductions to support, and took interest in our welfare; that she does is amazing and I am grateful to this day. A brilliant Lawyer with a heart too! I am not sure if Trudi knows how much her dedication to her cases particularly complex cases, has transformed lives of others in a significant and positive way. Thank you Trudi for all that you did and continue to do; you are a superstar! The legal profession is better for having you in it, to continue the good fight. I cannot recommend Trudi highly enough.
She is tenacious, tough, persistent and serves her client’s needs.
Dear Shabina… you worked incredibly hard to get me back and showed me so much compassion and understanding. You were the one who understood the severity of my situation even when the police had no clue. I think about you most times. I really appreciate everything you have done for me. Without you this wouldn’t have been possible…

Thomas Brownrigg is an excellent mediator. He’s gentle, unassuming, very fair and not knocked off his neutral perch easily. He is a very steady presence.
“She has such emotional empathy and helps her clients from a position of no judgement – she is remarkable.”
Without your support throughout the case this result would not have been possible.
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.
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.
I cannot express how grateful I am to the domestic abuse team at Goodman Ray. Today marks the end of almost 8 years in litigation, with so many other legal professionals unable to secure the result our family have fought so hard for, and only Goodman Ray could provide. I want to commend the absolute brilliance displayed by the team, from the initial enquiry to the final judgement. They have shown compassion and empathy and have renewed my faltering belief, that the truth will always rise in the end. Through careful, diligent, meticulous effort and recommendation of fantastic counsel, Goodman Ray have given me my life back.
I cannot thank them enough. A special mention to Annie, Lucia and Molly, who have put in more than I could have asked. If you need solicitors who show you by action that they truly care, look no further.
