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!
Catriona Allan is ‘fearless – she will not leave any issues until they have been dealt with.
Jemma brings an innovative and creative approach to things and she takes chances. She follows her instincts and her instincts are usually right.
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.
She is a stellar practitioner and takes a courageous approach to her cases; Peggy is known for her dedication and care to her clients.
Catriona is extremely impressive. You can tell she really cares and is one of those solicitors who goes the extra mile.
Peggy Ray – the doyenne of family law. Kind, down to earth despite being magnificent at every aspect of her role, she fights for her clients with courage and compassion.
Kevin Skinner is a marvel. Instantly reassuring and personable with clients from any background, he is a versatile individual who will leave no stone unturned in pursuit of the best possible outcome. His written work is exceptional and he is an excellent communicator, which is a skill that bring an edge to any case he touches.
She is a forerunner in international children law and especially complex surrogacy work.
Hannah Perry is fantastic. She is a first-rate lawyer, very hardworking and really on top of her game. When I am instructed by her, I know that the case will be in great shape and perfectly prepared.
She is an outstanding solicitor. Her professionalism and efficiency promotes results, and her experience and mind create relief.
The team was very thorough and responsive. They were quick to reassure me and to guide me whenever I contacted them in a panic, which was a real boon.
The team is capable of taking on complex cases against ‘magic circle’ firms, including with an international element.
My children and I want to thank you for what you did for us. I could never managed to sort it without you. Thank you again for everything.

Thomas Brownrigg is technically brilliant with a fine attention to detail. Speaks with calmness and authority that sets the clients at ease.
Hannah you’re a very clever lady….Justice has finally been served…I’m free!!! I can’t believe it. I can concentrate on my own health and welfare now, without worrying how I’ll manage. If you can put a value on peace of mind this is it. Thanks so much Hannah.
Tom Brownrigg is a mediator who I would recommend without hesitation. He is bright whilst remaining approachable and I have received very positive feedback as to how Tom is able to manage difficult personalities within a mediation setting.
Jemma Dally is a market leader in surrogacy and modern families work. She is enormously creative and always looking to push forward her clients’ cases.
Goodman Ray manage to combine expert legal knowledge with a really human approach to cases which clients appreciate so much.
I have worked with Goodman Ray for ten years or more undertaking financial remedy work. Many of those cases have had a large and complex international element, others have involved uncovering gross non-disclosure by the other party and almost all have been cases where the asset base is complicated by trusts, private limited company structures or complex third-party interests and claims.
What I have consistently found is that Goodman Ray offer quality that is just as effective and professional as the ‘magic circle’ sets of solicitors but do so with a strong personal commitment, offer empathetic advice and consistent maintain a clear focus on achieving successful outcomes at proportionate cost to the clients. I routinely recommend Goodman Ray’s financial remedy team to others and including to my own directly instructed clients when their cases need the involvement of a solicitor.
Laura is an incredibly detailed solicitor who provides excellent briefs and is always available to speak to should I need to. She has great insight into issues and provides helpful guidance to clients about the nature of their case and the challenges that could arise. I thoroughly enjoy working with her.
Trudi Featherstone is a fantastic mediator with a real empathy for clients and desire to do her absolute best to reach resolution for them.
He listens to both parties and guides them with a practical approach.
Thomas Brownrigg is very good, particularly at mediation. He has a very calm and reassuring manner. He’s very good at getting people to talk confidently.
