RWK Goodman LLP

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.

Sophie was extremely professional, thoughtful, and supportive throughout this process. She explained every stage clearly, which made a stressful situation much easier to manage. She always took the time to make sure we fully understood and ensured we felt comfortable to ask questions when further understanding was needed. Her communication was excellent throughout. We are very grateful we were able to achieve a successful outcome with her support and dedication .

Sophie demonstrated warmth, understanding, compassion and diligence throughout our case. Due to unexpected circumstances on our side, the process took longer than anticipated, but she remained fully committed to seeing it through to completion. Each step was clearly explained, with thoughtful guidance provided to support us throughout.

Pursuing a medical negligence claim isn’t something I ever thought I would do and it wasn’t a decision my husband and I took lightly, however the standard of care I received surrounding the births of both of my children and the subsequent life-changing physical and psychological injuries I have been left with, meant we had no choice but to speak out, seek accountability and pursue compensation. We were taken on as ‘no win, no fee’ by RWK Goodman, for which we will forever be grateful. My case was recently successfully resolved through an out-of-court settlement. The process has been long and extremely emotionally overwhelming. What made it bearable was the empathy, compassion and understanding shown by my solicitors, Hannah Blackwell and Sophie Angwin-Thornes. Everything about my experience and claim was deeply personal and extremely hard to discuss. Hannah and Sophie understood this fully. Hannah was very mindful in the early stages of how distressing some of the medical records and reports could be, sharing essential information while giving me the space to revisit the full details when I felt ready. I was so grateful for this. I always felt listened to and believed and that both Hannah and Sophie were genuinely behind me, supporting me and working incredibly hard to achieve the best outcome for me and my family. They explained each stage of the process clearly, kept me informed and were patient whenever I had questions or needed reassurance. Their empathy, professionalism and expertise gave me confidence during an incredibly difficult period, it allowed me to periodically emotionally step back, in secure knowledge that Hannah and Sophie were handling every aspect with care and diligence, and I genuinely don’t think I could have endured the process without their support. I am extremely grateful for the compassion they showed me and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone facing a similar situation.

Nicole and Lucy managed to get what turned out to be a very tricky sale and our purchase over the line, despite a tight deadline and unresponsive housing association! Their communication was brilliant throughout the process and they provided clear guidance and recommendations. Would thoroughly recommend!

The sale of our house privately (with no estate agent involved) was done with no issues, holdups or complications at any stage by Nicole Bradders' team. I would particularly single out Lucy Wells and Anne Gaddesden for their efficiency, client support and excellent people skills.

Excellent and thorough service while selling my property

🌟 KIM LEHAL 🌟 Partner | Head of International Children I am extremely grateful to have had Kim Lehal and her exceptional team as my solicitor in my international children law proceedings. When I first instructed Kim in late 2023, I was a father on the other side of the world who had completely lost contact with my child in the United Kingdom. What followed was two years of highly contested litigation in the UK High Court of Justice (London). The circumstances could not have been more difficult or more complex for me. From the very beginning, Kim demonstrated that she was not simply managing a case — she was strategically positioning it. She has an exceptional ability to see how matters will evolve long before they do, and to prepare accordingly. Looking back now, every early step proved to be critical to the final outcome. Kim Lehal and her team strike the perfect balance that you would need in an outstanding representative to handle your case. Kim is highly knowledgeable and a strategic thinker, excellent at navigating complex issues and keeping me fully informed. She is also extremely compassionate and understanding. Crucially, she consistently explained what I needed to hear rather than what I wanted to hear — something that becomes invaluable when your child is at the centre of proceedings. Kim built the right team of leading and junior counsel around the matter and ensured continuity of counsel throughout the case. She also ensured that either she or a member of her team attended every hearing alongside counsel, so the legal team was always aligned and I was fully supported. The proceedings have now concluded very successfully in early 2026, and my child and I are safely settled in my home country. I have no doubt that this outcome was only possible because of the way Kim and the team strategically navigated this case from the very beginning. If you are facing an international children dispute, you want Kim Lehal representing you.

Clear upfront pricing, the right balance of professionalism yet care and guidance for daunting life changing situations. The 2 solicitors who handled my divorce and house deed transfer lucy and Farzana were both great and very patient and understanding of me and my needs, yet remained totally professional even under pressure. They always tried to keep me up to date with progress as it happened.
