Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

Alicia has worked within the child care team at Wollens since 2020. Initially she worked with David Kendall and gained a huge amount of experience in relation to care proceedings generally. This included work around PLO pre-proceedings meetings and full court proceedings. These proceedings could relate to any concern of significant harm about a child, such as neglect, alcohol and drunk misuse or domestic violence. In early 2024 she started working with Rachel Carter and Victoria Harle, still within our care team, specialising in non-accidental injury work. These are complex cases involving allegations of physical abuse, such as fractures, bruising and shaken baby syndrome. They assist parents all over the country. The department has a wealth of expertise in this area. Having qualified as a solicitor in March 2026, Alicia represents parents in all types of child protection and care proceedings cases. Outside of work she is a keen karate athlete holding a 2nd Dan black belt. She has been training since she was 10 years old and has competed both nationally and internationally.

False Accusation Support

Our family was subject to a traumatising false accusation. Alicia provided clear, helpful and overwhelmingly friendly support throughout the whole process. Her guidance was instrumental in successfully defending ourselves and we can't overstate our gratitude.

Life changing

I thought I’d lost my son to social services at the dreaded age of 9 weeks old due to being severely unwell. Victoria and her team done the best that I could’ve ever wished for and cleared my name as well as getting my son back into my care.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I found myself in a situation that no parent would ever want to be in and it ended up being a very lengthy process. I contacted Wollens and I had Alicia Payne as my instructing solicitor. To say this lady was amazing is an understatement, she has all the qualities needed in these sensitive cases….. kind, understanding, compassionate and most importantly non judgmental. I couldn’t have asked for a better solicitors firm or a better solicitor than Alicia. She calmed me when I was frustrated, she reassured me when I didn’t understand something and she never ever didn’t reply to my questions and emails. I cannot thank Alicia enough, her dedication to each separate case is admirable but to me she was a life saver and no amount of thanks will ever be enough, I’m so very grateful to her. She’s currently training and she’s incredible now but when she’s fully qualified then she’s going to be a force to be reckoned with! I know this first hand because I’ve seen her in action. If you need a job doing well……. Alicia’s the driving force you need, she won’t give up and she won’t let you down! Thank you to all at Wollens but a huge thank you to Alicia, I wish her the very best for her future and I know she’s going to help change peoples lives, like she did mine……….. So, if Alicia is your solicitor then you’re going to be in the best hands!
