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.
Goodman Ray are an excellent team who can handle the most sensitive and complex cases with seeming ease.
Tom is dedicated and gets a quick grasp of the personalities and issues involved in cases with complex dynamics.
I changed solicitors during my proceedings for a personal family law case. After weeks of calls, research, and trying to find the right legal help and understanding, I was appointed Rachael Brown of Goodman Ray. I cannot explain how happy I was… I had truly lost hope at that point and felt so lucky when I knew they was able to help me.
From the very beginning, Rachael’s knowledge, expertise, patience, and understanding were outstanding. I honestly cannot imagine how I would have managed this journey without her support and guidance. She helped me understand everything, be pragmatic yet grounded and just gave me the best possible chance with the whole situation. Changing solicitors when I did was the best decision I could have made, and I truly believe the outcome and overall experience would have been very different otherwise.
I had an excellent experience with Goodman Ray Solicitors. Their team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire family legal process. They communicated clearly, kept me informed at every stage, and handled my case with great care and attention to detail.
I truly felt heard and well-represented. I particularly appreciated their responsiveness and the efficiency with which they managed everything. I would highly recommend Goodman Ray to anyone seeking reliable, compassionate, and expert legal support.

Goodman Ray has always been at the forefront of family law, particularly the law as it relates to children. The firm has never rested on its laurels and the team is highly positive and effective with outstanding lawyers.
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 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.
Even if she has to present a difficult position, she does it expertly and brings people along with her. She is very good at case planning and strategy.
I think your commitment to victims of domestic abuse is inspiring and all your clients are lucky to have someone like you fighting in their corner.

Peggy is known as Mrs Care – she is a real figurehead in this area.

This was one of the hardest things I have ever done, but with Rachael’s guidance I came through it feeling stronger, secure, and with an outcome that is best for my child and my safety. Her support throughout was invaluable, and I will forever be grateful for everything she did for us.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your time and dedication I am eternally grateful. I have never written a google review but believe that’s what led me to reach out to Goodman Ray and hope that I can help someone on their future journey to do the same. Thank you so much!
I’m extremely grateful for your diligence, professionalism and calm, pragmatic, straightforward approach.
Janet Broadley (also a consultant) is ‘extremely experienced in international children work; she has a real eye for detail and a calm and reassuring manner.
… thank you for all your hard work, patience and support. It really really made a difference and just thinking of the alternative would have been so so difficult. I feel very empowered by being on the stand… The opposite of what I feared as it is something I have dreaded for two years.
