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.
I found Goodman Ray at a moment when I was truly at rock bottom and in an extremely vulnerable position. I had reached out in many directions, unsure where to turn, and somehow Marie Campbell found me. From that very first contact, she stepped in with warmth, clarity, and determination, and has been nothing short of a guardian angel ever since. She took the time to really understand my situation, treated me with compassion and respect, and made me feel supported when I felt completely overwhelmed.
Marie has gone far beyond what anyone could reasonably expect, both professionally and personally. She has been meticulous, tireless, and deeply committed, always ensuring I understood each step and never leaving me feeling alone in the process. Importantly, this care extended beyond Marie herself the wider Goodman Ray team have been consistently professional, responsive, and supportive throughout, working seamlessly together on my behalf.
Thanks to their expertise and connections, Goodman Ray were able to assemble an exceptional legal team and secure outstanding representation, leading to a very favourable outcome in my case. I will always be grateful for the integrity, skill, and humanity shown to me during one of the most difficult periods of my life. I cannot recommend Goodman Ray and Marie Campbell in particular .. highly enough.

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.
I transferred to Goodman Ray as I didn’t feel supported or understood by my previous representation. I knew immediately when I spoke to Sheeja that she completely understood my situation, was very knowledgeable about the process and the options open to me. Sheeja and her team have been very supportive and thorough all the way through the long process. That was so important as I needed to be able to trust their knowledge as I had never been in this situation before and it can be scary and stressful. I am forever thankful and grateful for their help in getting the desired result and would highly recommend their services.
