I’m extremely grateful to Kevin Skinner of Goodman Ray Solicitors who helped me through a Hague Convention abduction case. It was an extremely difficult and stressful time for me, but Kevin was professional, approachable, knowledgeable and calm. He kept me informed at all times, putting my mind at ease, and advising of the best approach to take. I would highly recommend to anyone needing legal expertise.

Working with Novlet is always an immensely positive and motivating experience due to her passion and dedication to her clients which is as infectious as it is heartening in the often-beleaguered field of childcare law.
I wanted to let you know how wonderful Hannah was in all my dealings with her before, during and after the hearing…The statement that she drafted for the client was of the same high quality one would expect of an experienced family lawyer. It was focussed and understated whilst at the same time getting across the points made by a difficult client in a clear and insightful way… I feel sure that she will become an excellent solicitor [when she qualifies] and you are lucky to have her.

She is “a genuine specialist in international cases,” according to sources, and “goes the extra mile for her clients.
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.
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 wanted to take the opportunity to extend my professional compliments regarding the excellent presentation of the most recent brief in the matter. It was very well considered and of enormous assistance.
