The team is very well regarded for representing children in complex domestic proceedings.

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.
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!

A special shout out to Novlet, I wouldn’t have been able to get through this without her. Super helpful and professional. She was dedicated to my case and I can’t sing her praises enough.
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.
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!
Her knowledge of adoption law, her dedication to our case, her honesty about the reality of it, alongside her kindness, make her a special human and exceptional lawyer.
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
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’m deeply grateful to Goodman Ray Solicitors for guiding me through a long, complex 5-year domestic abuse case, which ended in a life-changing success. Their dedication, professionalism, and genuine care helped save my and my children’s lives.
Despite countless challenges, they never gave up on me. Their support, timely communication, and heartfelt reassurance gave me strength through the darkest times. I couldn’t have asked for better representation. Thank you for your outstanding work your help will never be forgotten. You truly made a difference. God bless you.
Trudi Featherstone is a fabulous mediator. She is really sensible, really pragmatic and really takes on board the individuals she’s dealing with.
