Legal support from Busola Oyenekan

I cannot thank Busola enough for her hard work and dedication to my court proceedings both in the defence of the non-molestation order and the application for a new child arrangement order. Throughout my experience with her, she made sure I was kept up to date with each communication with the other parties lawyer. She helped navigate my moods and responses when it came to dealing with pressured and emotional situations. Something that is a very personal and delicate situation when it involves a young child, Busolas expertise of the law around non-molestation orders and child arrangements made sure that I had the best support possible.

You're a true gem, but lets I hope I don't see you again xx

I worked with my solicitor, Sheeja over two separate periods (2020–2023 and 2024–2026), and throughout both, she consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism, care, and dedication. Her understanding of domestic abuse was particularly important to me. She approached my situation with sensitivity, insight, and without judgment, which made a very difficult process feel more manageable. I always felt listened to, supported, and taken seriously. Her communication was clear and reassuring, and she handled every aspect of my case with confidence and expertise. Thanks to her hard work and commitment, I achieved the best outcome I could have hoped for. I am incredibly grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a compassionate and highly skilled solicitor.’

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.

Terrible, lazy and no knowledge

They have a very bold website in the field of public family law, stating "expertise", "leading reputation", "tirelessly to find solutions" all seems to be a hoax. I found myself with them questioning which side they are on, failure to pick up easy wins, failure to question and challenge unreasonable request made against us that would've traumatised the kids, mis-read notes, came up with no strategy to protect kids. During the most crucial time they have wasted the time, which is gone forever and will never have this back again. They have weak solicitors. Google and common sense will take you further then them.

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 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.

Rachel C Brown is absolutely outstanding. From start to finish, she supported me through a very difficult child arrangements battle with professionalism, compassion, and dedication. She consistently went above and beyond, keeping me informed, reassured, and confident every step of the way. Her expertise and commitment made an incredibly stressful situation far more manageable. I cannot thank her enough for everything she did for me and my family. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone needing an exceptional lawyer.

I am so grateful to Goodman Ray and Hannah Perry specifically for getting my family through the most difficult of times and all the way to the strongest position we could be in for the future of my children. I don't think we could have had a better solicitor. Hannah held me emotionally when things were hard while looking clearly at what needed to be done and managed to support me with empathy when I needed to do the more difficult tasks. I will always be grateful for the work of the legal team at Goodman Ray.

I found Goodman Ray at a moment when I was truly at rock bottom and in an extremely vulnerable position. I had reached out in many directions, unsure where to turn, and somehow Marie Campbell found me. From that very first contact, she stepped in with warmth, clarity, and determination, and has been nothing short of a guardian angel ever since. She took the time to really understand my situation, treated me with compassion and respect, and made me feel supported when I felt completely overwhelmed. Marie has gone far beyond what anyone could reasonably expect, both professionally and personally. She has been meticulous, tireless, and deeply committed, always ensuring I understood each step and never leaving me feeling alone in the process. Importantly, this care extended beyond Marie herself the wider Goodman Ray team have been consistently professional, responsive, and supportive throughout, working seamlessly together on my behalf. Thanks to their expertise and connections, Goodman Ray were able to assemble an exceptional legal team and secure outstanding representation, leading to a very favourable outcome in my case. I will always be grateful for the integrity, skill, and humanity shown to me during one of the most difficult periods of my life. I cannot recommend Goodman Ray and Marie Campbell in particular .. highly enough.

Unprofessional

Expensive is not the same as being good or professional or even slightly empathetic. Goodman Ray is all about the money and nothing about the clients. Non responsive , during and after loosing our case. A very weak representation in court , not verifying if what was being decided in court was correct or not ( and it wasn't) and leaving us with a whole new host of problems to sort after court. When we reached out for help with those issues, guess what? No response once again. Our money is in their pockets and that's all that matters.

I transferred to Goodman Ray as I didn't feel supported or understood by my previous representation. I knew immediately when I spoke to Sheeja that she completely understood my situation, was very knowledgeable about the process and the options open to me. Sheeja and her team have been very supportive and thorough all the way through the long process. That was so important as I needed to be able to trust their knowledge as I had never been in this situation before and it can be scary and stressful. I am forever thankful and grateful for their help in getting the desired result and would highly recommend their services.

I want to say thank you. To Sheeja, Lucia, Esmee and all her team. Sheeja is exceptionally sharp, knowledgeable and reassuringly direct. You immediately know you are dealing with someone who really knows her field. What I would say has been most impressive is the amount of work and thought that clearly goes on behind the scenes. She and her team put a huge amount into what they do and that effort is very much appreciated. Very thankful to have an experienced and committed team representing me. Highly recommend this company.
