‘I worked closely with RWK Goodman for many years, I can not fault the service they provided as my solicitors. They offered the highest standard of professional services alongside hugely empathetic and personable interactions. They successfully settled my medical negligence claim and worked tirelessly in a very complex case to ensure its success. I have no fault which can be isolated and only an abundance of thanks and positive feedback for their work.’
‘Rosie Hodgetts and Tracy Norris-Evans were exceptional, not only in their clear specialist knowledge of medical negligence but also in their client stakeholder management. The personable service they offered at an extremely difficult time for me as a client was nothing short of sensational. They should both be hugely proud of their impact both in the success of my case and also in how they supported me as a client. I doubt I will work with two individuals more capable and caring again.’
