RWK Goodman LLP

I had contacted several law firms for an accident at work and many wanted the case on a no win no fee basis, then I met Louise Smith, compassionate, attentive and someone who showed understanding. I had a work accident which was traumatic and life changing and as such wasn't willing to give away a high percentage of the case settlement. Louise offered an ATE - After the event policy, which ensured I would receive 100% of the awarded damages, this gave me the reassurance I needed. Louise put together a team of experts, Georgia, Helen and herself who through out the whole process assisted me, showed me the processes required and supported me through the whole case, at times even when stressed Louise had the ability to ground me and settle me down again. Without any doubt her confidence guided me through the whole case. I'm very pleased to say that we won a significant sum which will ensure myself and wife are cared for the rest of our days. Thank you to Louise, Georgia and our barrister Michelle - I have no hesitation in recommending RWK Goodman

Lizzie McCarthy, of RWK Goodman, represented me in a personal injury settlement case during 2025 & 2026. She was consistently professional, thorough, straightforward and always willing to answer my questions, however small. This was my first experience of such a case and Lizzie was reassuringly competent throughout, she was also fair, well informed and kept me regularly updated which was much appreciated. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lizzie and the team at RWK Goodman to anyone who needed legal advice.

I cannot thank the team at RWK Goodman enough for everything they have done for my son and me over the past few years. International child arrangements are incredibly complex, overwhelming, and emotionally exhausting. Throughout the process, the team consistently treated me with respect, patience, and professionalism. They never lost sight of what mattered, even when I let my emotions get the best of me. A special thank you to Kim, Lucie, Sunaina, and Simonida, and everyone else who worked behind the scenes. They guided me through countless hearings, applications, and difficult decisions, always taking the time to explain the legal process in plain English and ensuring I felt heard and represented. They were honest and realistic when they needed to be, and supportive when things got difficult. After years of litigation, we achieved an outcome that allows my son and me to continue rebuilding our relationship. While there is still work to be done, I genuinely believe that would not have been possible without the dedication, compassion, patience, and expertise of this team. Family law is about far more than paperwork and court hearings. It is about children, families, and people's lives. RWK Goodman never lost sight of that. They have my sincere gratitude for helping give my son, my family, and me the chance to be father, son, and family again.

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.

RWK Goodman recently managed the sale of a flat for us which had the added complexities of shared ownership and some of the contact being overseas. Holly and Argita took it all in their stride, and were highly professional, efficient, and yet approachable and supportive. They kept us informed at every stage, and always answered communications promptly: we didn't have to chase any points even once over the 7 months of the process. There were delays caused by a third party and they dealt with this calmly, taking away the stress and always remaining positive and reassuring. The final conveyancing was handled by Marie and Izzy who were also very efficient and personable to communicate with. For the exemplary level of professionalism, dedication and expertise provided by Holly and Argita, we felt the fees were reasonable and I would highly recommend using RWK Goodman as they are easily contactable and proactive (in contrast to our buyer's online solicitors). We couldn't praise them enough and thank them for their fantastic service.

We used Clive at RWK when recently buying a house. He was extremely professional and kept us well informed of timelines and everything going on. Would highly recommend!

Argita, Holly and all at RWK Goodman did a splendid job of helping me to sell my flat. The whole process was handled professionally, promptly and with a genuinely personal and friendly approach. This is especially appreciated as I live abroad and the work was carried out online with absolutely no hiccups. I would heartily recommend RWK Goodman to anyone looking to sell their property. Kindest regards, Richard Langley.

We had such a positive experience with RWK Goodman while buying our first home and couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Clive and Nina were fantastic throughout the whole process. As first-time buyers, we naturally had lots of questions, and they were always incredibly helpful, patient and quick to respond. Everything was handled so efficiently and the whole process moved much faster than we expected. We were kept updated throughout and always knew what was happening and what the next steps were, which made what could have been a really stressful experience feel so much more manageable. We felt genuinely supported from start to finish and are so grateful to Clive, Nina and the team at RWK Goodman for helping make the purchase of our first home such a smooth and positive experience. Thank you so much!

This is the second time that we have instructed RWK Goodman to support us with a property transaction and we can thoroughly recommend them. We have been really pleased and impressed with the support from Holly and Argita. They have been with us each step of the way and acted in a professional and highly responsive manner. Thank you both!
