She provides clear, expert legal advice and support throughout her cases. Jo has extensive experience of private children matters, including complex cases with domestic abuse, mental health, and religious or gender identity issues. She undertakes urgent applications for protective orders (Non-Molestation Orders and Prohibited Steps Orders) and for the return of children who have been removed or retained without agreement. Jo regularly acts in cases concerning child arrangements, schooling, and relocation/removal from the jurisdiction. In respect of public law issues, Jo is a passionate advocate for parents who have social services involvement with their families. She provides advice, support and representation from pre-proceedings (PLO) through to care proceedings.

She also represents parents in Deprivation of Liberty and Forced Marriage cases. Jo has exceeded my expectations throughout the time we have been working together. She is extremely capable. Her social processing skills are first rate, her knowledge base is extensive and is backed up by years of experience. She processes information accurately and efficiently and she applies herself with a passion…. Her willingness to take bold decisions and to support me in the face of adversity made all the difference to my being reunited with my daughter.

    Jo is the perfect solicitor. She has always been very helpful, consistently providing support whenever I needed it. Her work is professional, friendly, and highly appreciated. I couldn't have asked for a better solicitor.

    Review of Joanne Davies

    Joanne Davies was my fourth lawyer in 3 years of legal proceedings. Now I know that changes, although stressful, are good. I know that I have finally found a lawyer who really cares about people and does not drag the case out for their own benefit... Jo approached my case very professionally and concisely. For the first time I felt cared for, I saw that she cared about the well-being of my child and me. I am genuinely thankful for the way she led my case, thoroughly but swiftly.

    Review of Joanne Davies

    I can confidently state that had we not secured the services of Joanne Davies, it is unlikely that we would have our daughter living back home with us now. Throughout the court process I have been accused of having too high expectations. Jo has exceeded my expectations throughout the time we have been working together. She is extremely capable. Her social processing skills are first rate, her knowledge base is extensive and is backed up by years of experience. She processes information accurately and efficiently and she applies herself with a passion. Jo has consistently behaved in a trusting, honest, caring, dignifying, fair and courageous way. Her willingness to take bold decisions and to support me in the face of adversity made all the difference to my being reunited with my daughter. Jo conducts herself professionally as you might expect. She made herself accessible. She has a great sense of humour and a massively positive character. Often she was the voice of calm and reason when things were falling apart. Clear concise, and to the point she was a good all round communicator. You will have gathered by now that I hold her in high regard. My family will always be grateful to her for making the difference.

    Exceptional service from the beginning Camella Cephas went above and beyond she went through my case with a fine toothed comb and delivered real results she left me feeling I was in very capable hands, I could not recommend her enough.

    I also had help from Joanne Davies who was so down to earth and full of passion for her job, these two ladies are who you need if you have a case that is truly complex and you want stand out solicitors working on your behalf!
