Amazing service
I don’t really know where to start! I’ve seen Sophie a couple of times due to employment issues and every time Sophie’s knowledge and handling of the situations has been nothing but thorough. Sophie has an incredible amount of employment knowledge and uses that to ensure you get the best possible outcome. Sophie always explained all the legal jargon into simplified terms which helped me to better understand the situation I was in.
I would recommend Sophie to anyone needing employment advice either for a small issue or something more complexed, she has such a friendly nature and genuinely cared about myself and the situation which is something that’s very hard to find.

Exceptional Lawyer Who Makes the Complex Clear and Goes the Extra Mile
Working with Sophie Goodwill was a truly outstanding experience. What stood out most was their remarkable ability to break down complicated legal concepts into language I could easily understand, something I deeply appreciated during a stressful and confusing time. They never rushed through explanations and always made sure I felt confident about the next steps. Beyond that, they went above and beyond what I expected, answering questions promptly and showing genuine care for my case. If you're looking for a lawyer who is both knowledgeable and genuinely client-focused, I can't recommend Sophie Goodwill enough.

Helpful and experienced lawyer
Sophie was very helpful with my settlement agreement. It was relatively simple, they wanted me to leave and I wanted to leave but we went through the contract in detail and Sophie patiently answered all my questions.
She also helped facilitate getting it signed during her day off.
I recommend using her services if you need help about employment in the future.
Her office admin staff are also very responsive, Helen, especially, was efficient.
