I cannot highly enough recommend Michael Wolstencroft and the team at RWK Goodman. Michael recently achieved a tremendous settlement for the estate of my late partner, who tragically passed away from peritoneal mesothelioma in November 2024. In addition to the estate settlement, Michael worked with extraordinary focus to secure a separate, substantial settlement for me as a dependent.
Working personally with Michael, I can confirm that his work ethic and professional standards are absolutely first-class. His deep expertise and years of experience in asbestos diseases shone through at every stage. He meticulously planned our case, set clear milestones, and updated me almost daily so I always knew what to expect. Michael is uniquely professional, deeply compassionate, and highly efficient. He took the time to ensure I fully understood every legal implication as the claim developed.
His dedication to achieving the highest standard was particularly evident in his approach to witness statements, which he refined tirelessly until he was completely satisfied with their strength. Michael’s enthusiasm for his specialism, his infinite patience, and his razor-sharp attention to details resulted in a brilliant outcome that we could never have anticipated.
This result brings an immense sense of justice for my late partner, who suffered extreme pain and disability. Michael and his team are a true asset to RWK Goodman. My late partner’s family and I hold them in the highest respect and wish them continued success.

Its my pleasure to review the service I received from RWK Goodman, with special thanks to Ainara Diaz who handled my case from the start until the successful outcome. I can't thank them enough and would definitely recommend their services.

I can’t recommend Nicole and her team enough. Right from the initial conversation Nicole was reassuring about selling a house under POA, always efficient and reliable. Outstanding customer service from all the team thank you.

Roisin O’Dubhlaoidh Is simply the best, I can’t recommend her enough! The hard work, dedication, knowledge, care and commitment to help my Mum after her accident went above and beyond. My Mum was in such a state of shock she didn’t know how the whole process would work but Roisin guided her through and allowed mum to concentrate on her recovery while she fought for what my Mum needed . Thank you for everything, anyone being represented by you will be in safe hands .

This was my son's first house purchase and was guided through the whole process. He had a time limit with the house he was renting and Nicole Bradders and Lucy Wells did everything they could to meet the deadline, despite the delay by the sellers solicitor. They got everything across the line in time. We found their communication thorough and given promptly. They were very professional, patient and caring. We would definitely recommend them.

How great to experience the difference of using a local conveyancing company instead of our son's experience of using online solicitors.
Good communication is so reassuring (thanks Nicole and Lucy of RWK Goodman solicitors) when progressing a stressful house sale.

From the very beginning Nicole and Lucy made us feel confident in having made the right choice. They constantly kept us updated and made the whole experience a pleasure.

Great experience from start to finish; highly professional and friendly team (special thanks to Nicole and Lucy!), with great systems which allowed the conveying to move quickly and smoothly. Highly recommended!

RWKGoodman worked so hard for me and to a brilliant outcome! Richard and Damon are very professional and friendly and I couldn’t be happier with the service and treatment I received from them. I would highly recommend anyone to choose them to represent yourself and I would most definitely choose them to represent me again if I should need it. Thank you Richard and Damon.

When I was selling my flat, Teodora and her colleagues were prompt, responsive and always pleasant to deal with.

Brilliant team. Dominic, Lucas and Claire were fantastic through my house purchase

We used RWK Goodman for our house sale and purchase in Warwickshire. I have to say that Tina Pettinger and Tracy Merry provided the most responsive & efficient conveyancing service I've ever had.

I made a recent property purchase and had an exceptional conveyancing team. Tina and Tracy were fantastic throughout the process and with their knowledge and experience overcame challenges along the way. They are a credit to RWK Goodman and would highly recommend their services.

We recently completed the 'sale' (of our past home in Oxfordshire) and 'purchase' (new home in West Sussex).

This was a very long, drawn-out process, namely b/c in the midst of our sale/purchase of properties, our original solicitor firm, 'HMG Law' (Oxford), was proceeding on a merger with 'RWK Goodman' (Oxford).

What should have taken 3-months to fulfil the legal process, took almost 5-months on a very small/simple chain.

In the end, we were very grateful to two key individuals, 'Jo Kent' & 'Teodora Nizirova' whom between them, managed to get the sale/purchase of properties over the line by 31st March 2026.

We are extremely grateful to them both for their tenacity, out-of-the-box thinking, endless email communications and phone support to get us over the finish line.

That is the reason I/we have awarded a 5-star review to RWK Goodman (Oxford) - to these two trailblazers for everything they did for us.

If you are looking for a team of solicitors to help you through the pitfalls of property buying, look to the "Residential Property, Farms & Estates" team at RWK Goodman, Oxford Office, ask for Jo Kent &/ Teodora.

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!

We received a quick appointment to discuss probate. Laura Yuill was very efficient giving us all the advice and information required for probate. Laura also gave us the name of Malik Khalid who represented us legally for the sale of the property. His help to us was first class as well as Lorena Lugo who worked for Laura dealing with the probate.

I am beyond grateful to RWK Goodman, especially Ainara, for all the support I have received throughout my case. She has been truly amazing every step of the way, showing professionalism, compassion, and dedication from start to finish.
Thanks to her hard work and commitment, I achieved a very positive outcome. There was never a single moment where I felt unsupported or that my case was not in the right hands, which gave me great reassurance during a very difficult time.

I cannot thank Ainara and the team enough for everything they have done for me. I would highly recommend their services to anyone in need of expert legal support.

If I could I would give 0 stars.

Do not contact this law firm, it is a waste of time. Before Daisy Stanton-Skovhus paralegal contacted me, I wrote all the information and my problem to RKW Goodman Solicitors. She was aware that I did not have a specialist diagnosis yet, as this is currently being handled by a new GP, in hospitals independent of the NHS Trust that has been conducting my examinations so far. Despite this, she asked me for personal data, information, and documents containing
evidence, which was almost 100 pages. After this, about 3 hours later, the following response came:

Unfortunately, based on the evidence we have seen, we do not feel able to investigate the claim further on your behalf.

In such a long time, Daisy Stanton-Skovhus paralegal could neither read nor interpret such a large amount of documents.

I have described how my health has been deteriorating continuously since 2013, my former GP and three NHS Trust hospitals have not been examined, they have denied all my symptoms and problems. It all started due to mishandling of side effects caused by a contraceptive implant, which led to my former GP treating me for anxiety and asthma. The medicines prescribed to me without examination caused further side effects and permanent health damage. I have been to the emergency department several times. In 11/2023, after a pedestrian accident, my symptoms worsened, and new symptoms appeared, as well as injuries caused by the accident. My GP has not been examined, he has denied my problems, the three NHS Trust hospitals have also swept the problems under the carpet. The new GP and several doctors have said that I am already at high risk of having a stroke or heart attack. Because of this, I have been sent to the emergency department several times, where they did not treat me, as they said that these problems are long-term and need to be investigated. This was said in the emergency department of the NHS Trust hospitals where the cardiologists have been denying my symptoms for years.
I will list some of my problems, which are not enough for this law firm to deal with my case.

10/2023 left little kidney cortical scarring
06/2024 right and left kidney cortical scarring after pedestrian accident, quite irregular

Fluctuating high blood pressure; 56/33/-131- 235/110/123
Pulse fluctuation:39-200
Blood oxygen level:59-100

Since the accident:
- fibroids
- polyps
- ovarian cyst
- nabothian cisgland
- multiple cysts in the abdomen
- adenomyosis

These are all untreated, the medications prescribed by the former GP without testing caused a strong drug allergy in me, currently the only drug that does not cause a drug allergy in me is paracetamol. These are only fragments of what the new GP has determined.



2 weeks after I sent this firm an email about a property deed of surrender I finally received a reply which began 'Hi followed by my christian name'. I do not know the solicitor personally, have never met her or had any dealings with her in the past, so to begin a first time correspondence so informally I believe is extremely unprofessional. I actually thought that another scam had landed in my inbox and almost deleted the email before reading its contents. The paperwork that arrived from this firm, which they wanted me to sign, was riddled with spelling mistakes (something else you would not normally expect from an employee of a law firm) even to the point of spelling my deceased Father's surname correct on the cover and incorrectly in the pages inside. It only proved to me that however educated in matters of the law, some staff really need extra training on etiquette and how to use the correct salutation. From my point of view addressing a person correctly is not only essential but a sign of respect. It they get that wrong they obviously do not value your custom.
Had it been me who contacted this person in the first instance instead of a family member, I would have taken my business elsewhere!

Nicole and Lucy were fantastic when selling my dad’s house. They always knew what was happening and regularly chased other solicitors to keep the process rolling. Thank you both for your help.
