  • ‘I have found RWK Goodman to be the top practitioner in this field. I have been instructed mainly by Richard Coleman but have also had favourable experiences with other partners and associates. What makes RWK Goodman the best? Honesty, loyalty, politeness, integrity, perseverance, together with the high quality of the Barrister's they instruct, are the main virtues I can quote.'

  • 'The Back up staff that I have dealt with over the years also possess the same qualities. The firm deals with their clients in a very empathetic way which of course makes it easier for expert witnesses to work with them. Basically, I do not have a bad word to say about this firm- this is certainly not the case for a number of others that I have dealt with.
