RWK Goodman LLP

I would sincerely like to thank RWK Goodman for all of their hard work over the past three and a half years. In particular, I would like to recognise the exceptional support provided by Roisin O’Dubhlaoidh throughout my claim. From the outset, Roisin was dedicated, professional and incredibly easy to communicate with. She was always approachable, took the time to explain the legal process clearly, and made herself available whenever I needed clarification or reassurance. The incident happened on 10 February 2023, when a large Alsatian dog attacked me, causing me to fall backwards onto the road. As a result, I suffered a shattered L4 vertebra and a serious shoulder injury. The claim was far from straightforward, as the defendant initially denied the incident. The early stages of the case involved gathering evidence and locating witnesses to the incident. As I am self-employed, my injuries impacted my ability to carry out business tasks. It was therefore essential to have a solicitor who took the time to understand not only my injuries but also how they affected my livelihood and income. Roisin did exactly that. Once liability was eventually admitted, she remained focused on ensuring the claim properly reflected the impact the injuries had on both my personal and professional life. Roisin also arranged consultations with the appropriate medical specialists, ensuring appointments were within a reasonable travelling distance from my home, which made the process much easier to manage while I was recovering. Over the course of more than three years, the defendant changed legal representatives several times, and there were occasions when it felt as though they were using delaying tactics and wasting time to try and wear us down. Their tactics felt underhand and I imagine would have been successful in exhausting some less well supported claimants. Throughout it all, Roisin provided consistency, continuity and unwavering professionalism. I always felt confident that my case was progressing as effectively as possible despite the obstacles. The defendant’s initial settlement offers were extremely low and appeared to be an attempt to resolve the claim quickly for far less than it was worth. Roisin remained focused on the evidence and the true value of the claim, providing honest advice at every stage. We stayed in regular contact by email and video calls, and I always felt informed and involved as things progressed. As the case moved closer to trial, Roisin recommended instructing James Marwick of St John’s Chambers in Bristol as counsel. This proved to be an excellent decision. Following service of the Schedule of Loss and several months of negotiations, we ultimately reached a settlement in June 2026 that reflected the strength of the case, whilst simultaneously avoiding the need for a trial. I would wholeheartedly recommend Roisin O’Dubhlaoidh to anyone seeking a personal injury solicitor. Her expertise, commitment and genuine care made an enormous difference throughout what was an incredibly difficult period of my life. I honestly do not know where I would be today without her guidance and support. Although this review highlights Roisin’s contribution, I would also like to thank the wider team at RWK Goodman for their support throughout the claim. Mark Hambleton and Caroline Johnson were always available to support if Roisin was on leave or otherwise unavailable, and I was impressed with their knowledge of the claim’s progress, despite not being the primary contacts for my claim. Above all, I always felt that the team at RWK Goodman genuinely cared not only about achieving the right outcome but also about my wellbeing during some very challenging times, and that meant a great deal to me. Thank you again.

For three years, I have been represented by RWK Goodman in a personal injury claim following a car collision. The process has been difficult but I have felt supported throughout; Ellen Little has been professional, helpful, and clearly explained each step and all the options along the way. I am very happy with the outcome and would strongly recommend them to others.

Maud acted for me in relation to a fatal accident claim in France following the death of my brother. The matter was understandably lengthy and involved proceedings in the French courts, but throughout the process she was consistently professional, clear in her advice, and measured in her approach. Maud always took the time to explain matters and keep us updated on progress. I particularly appreciated the calm and pragmatic way she handled negotiations towards the end of the case. Although the circumstances surrounding the claim were obviously very sad, I’m grateful for the work and effort Maud put into the case over a long period of time and would have no hesitation in recommending her.

Melanie was friendly, easy to talk to and always made us feel at ease whilst also staying professional. She always rang when she said she would and always provided the information requested. She worked tirelessly on my son’s case and it was completed in an acceptable timescale. She always considered his best interest when giving information and when advising us. I feel she is a real asset to RWK Goodman LLP.

RWK Goodman dealt with my personal injury claim. They kept me informed all the way through and delivered a fantastic outcome. Thank you to you all.

Another law firm that takes your money and does nothing. Its complicated and difficult, besides we're on holiday!

I would highly recommend RWK Goodman Solicitors. Claire and her team have been fantastic and had everything sorted out for me in a professional and timely manner. Special thanks to Lucy for all the help.

Caroline, Nicole and the whole team strived tirelessly with a very unorganised unpredictable our buyers lawyers to get the completion done before end of March 2025 savings me and my family lots of money. I have nothing but praise for RWK Goodman law firm, they are the best in Thame.

Mark was diagnosed with mesothelioma at the end of March 2023. My first contact was with Helen Childs, and from that initial call, I felt that RWK was the right choice for us. Helen was friendly, kind, and compassionate. We met with Annabelle in April 2023 to discuss the industrial injury claim related to mesothelioma. I wholeheartedly recommend RWK, particularly Annabelle, for claims of mesothelioma. Her knowledge, kindness, and compassion truly shine through. Throughout the process, Annabelle supported us, often sharing resources and links on non-legal matters to help our family. Annabelle has a deep understanding of the legal and medical challenges involved for people diagnosed with Mesothelioma. We felt supported throughout the entire process. She took the time to listen to our concerns and answer questions thoroughly, which made our lives much easier during Mark’s difficult illness. Mark passed away in January 2025. Fortunately, his case was successfully resolved in December 2024, giving him the peace of mind that the legal matters were finalised. I'm truly grateful for Annabelle’s dedication to Mesothelioma.

Nightmare with Nick Martin (partner). He is an unscrupulous lawyer. If you are contact from abroad , you have to be careful when hiring this firm and this lawyer. include unfair fees, incompetent representation and failure to communicate.
