Partner in Divorce & Family Law
Reviewer Review left by Tiffany

I am currently with your Solicitors going through a divorce, financial matters and child contact arrangements. This is such a hard time for me to go through but I would not be where I am without Helen, she is absolutely fantastic and a credit to your firm. I would recommend her to anyone who is in the situation to need a family Solicitor. Also dealing with my case is Helen's trainee Solicitor Rachael who again is brilliant and is a great support. But Helen, I honestly can't speak highly enough of her, she is amazing. Louise is always there at the end of the phone for me as many times as I call, she is always helpful.

Reviewer Review left by Lel H

I changed solicitors during my proceedings for a personal family law case. After weeks of calls, research, and trying to find the right legal help and understanding, I was appointed Rachael Brown of Goodman Ray. I cannot explain how happy I was… I had truly lost hope at that point and felt so lucky when I knew they was able to help me. From the very beginning, Rachael’s knowledge, expertise, patience, and understanding were outstanding. I honestly cannot imagine how I would have managed this journey without her support and guidance. She helped me understand everything, be pragmatic yet grounded and just gave me the best possible chance with the whole situation. Changing solicitors when I did was the best decision I could have made, and I truly believe the outcome and overall experience would have been very different otherwise. This was one of the hardest things I have ever done, but with Rachael’s guidance I came through it feeling stronger, secure, and with an outcome that is best for my child and my safety. Her support throughout was invaluable, and I will forever be grateful for everything she did for us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your time and dedication I am eternally grateful. I have never written a google review but believe that’s what led me to reach out to Goodman Ray and hope that I can help someone on their future journey to do the same. Thank you so much!

Reviewer Review left by John

Shanika Varga handled our case, a Step-parent Adoption request by a young Teenager to his Step-father where the absentee Birth Father was contesting the application. We knew from the beginning that the chances of the Adoption being approved were slim and cases like ours were rare. However, Shanika listened to our reasons and gave us clear sound advice from the very start, she clearly understood the importance of what we were trying to do. She was realistic and supportive in her advice, giving us our options at each stage and keeping a close eye on the financial cost for us. Her advice was always delivered clearly and was pro-active, it was so comforting to feel she was completely in control of our situation at a time when we were emotionally vulnerable. We felt that we as a family mattered to her and we trusted her immediately, we never once felt like just another client. The diligence and care she put into our statements and preparations for Court were exceptional, the CAFCASS officer involved the case praised them as probably the best she had seen for their clarity and content. Shanika helped us select a Barrister that was within our budget and that excelled in dealing with less straight forward cases. She ensured that he had everything he needed for Court and supported us throughout the whole ordeal in a manner above and beyond our expectations. We have no doubt that it was Shanika's dedication to detail, diligent hard work and genuine belief in us that took our case from the near impossible, to having a chance, and finally a life changing success. We cannot praise Shanika and the team at Stowe Family Law enough.

Reviewer Review left by Rhys

I used Parfitt cresswell and their solicitor Anne-Marie to help me with child custody case. She was understanding and supportive throughout. Available for contact and advice. And ultimately made what was a stressful and emotional time a lot easier. Even finding a barrister for the court. Helping me get a very satisfactory outcome.

Daniel Bennett
Daniel Bennett
Director and Head of Family Department
Reviewer Review left by Skye

From the very beginning of what has been one of the most distressing and complex periods of my life, Daniel Bennett has been nothing short of exceptional. His knowledge of family law and adoption proceedings is outstanding, and his ability to navigate an extraordinarily difficult case with such professionalism, clarity, and strategic skill ultimately led to a life-changing outcome for my family. Daniel didn’t just provide legal representation — he provided steadfast support, calm reassurance, and consistently sound advice at every stage. During moments of confusion, fear, and overwhelmed panic (of which there were many), Daniel had an incredible ability to steady the situation, explain matters clearly, and help me feel grounded and safe in the process. His judgement, foresight, and attention to detail were second to none. What truly sets Daniel apart is that alongside his remarkable legal expertise, he is also an exceptionally kind, patient, and approachable person. I never once felt dismissed or rushed — every concern was taken seriously, and every question answered with care and respect. I would also like to mention Victoria Stanton, whose warmth, friendliness, and genuine kindness made such a difference during an otherwise very upsetting time. Her smile, reassurance, and professional efficiency consistently made dealing with a difficult situation feel just a little lighter. Thanks to Daniel’s tireless work, dedication, and expertise, we achieved the best possible outcome — something that will shape our lives forever. I will always remain deeply grateful. I cannot recommend Daniel Bennett and the team at Whitehead Monckton highly enough.
