Professional and compassionate support through a difficult process

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.

from RWK Goodman LLP

Thank you Andrew for your kind review. We are pleased to hear that Maud provided the professional and measured support you needed during such a difficult and sensitive time. Our deepest condolences go out to you and your family for the loss of your brother. Thank you for trusting our firm with this matter.

Professional and friendly service.

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.

from RWK Goodman LLP

Dear Caroline, Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear that our team provided a supportive and professional service, keeping you well informed and at ease throughout. It is pleasing to know she worked diligently with your son’s best interests in mind.

Outstanding support with a successful outcome

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 .

Medical negligence claim

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.

The team at RWK are absolutely incredible, we have used Jemma as our solicitor with the help of Georgina & Lucas, all helping us through a very stressful house move. We would recommend them to anyone & everyone! In a world where buying & selling properties seems to be a very difficult task they are so quick to sort all problems & I didn’t have to chase at all. We had a particularly tricky situation whereby our Buyer’s solicitor wasn’t very proactive therefore delaying the process & cutting it very fine with a strict deadline. Jemma still made it happen with persistence & we cannot thank her & the team enough for their hard work with getting everything over the line. ☺️

Thank you so much for sharing your fantastic review with us, Suzi! We’re delighted that Jemma, Georgina, and Lucas were able to support you through such a challenging house move. We truly appreciate your kind recommendations and are so pleased everything turned out well. Wishing you many happy memories in your new home! ☺️

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.

Thank you for choosing our services, Chris. We’re delighted that the private sale of your house proceeded smoothly with no issues or delays.

🌟 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.

We're incredibly grateful for your kind words and delighted to have supported you through such challenging times. It's heartwarming to know that Kim and her team made a positive difference and helped you achieve a successful resolution. Our doors are always open if you ever need assistance in the future. Wishing you and your child all the best as you settle into this new chapter!

5 Star Lawyers - Highly Recommended

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.

Louis has been brilliant covering all legal aspects of my house sale. Everything was dealt with thoroughly, and he explained the bits that I didn’t understand (and still don’t to some extent). He was very reassuring and supportive throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend Louis and his lawyerly skills to anyone.

I had an excellent experience with Ronna, Ralph, and the entire team at RWK Goodman throughout my flat purchase in London. The transaction had its fair share of complexities, but the team was consistently professional, responsive, and proactive from start to finish. They kept me informed at every stage, explained legal matters in a clear and practical way, and worked hard to keep everything moving despite delays outside their control. What stood out most was their attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile. They were always available to answer questions, quick to follow up with the other parties involved, and genuinely committed to getting the transaction over the line. Buying a property can be stressful, but having a team you trust makes all the difference, and that's exactly what RWK Goodman provided. A special thank you to Ronna and Ralph for their dedication, patience, and excellent communication throughout the process. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend RWK Goodman to anyone looking for a reliable and highly professional conveyancing team, and I would gladly work with them again in the future.
