Top 10 of 1,643 law firms for Adoption and Special Guardianship, Child Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This area covers adoption, which ends the legal parent–child relationship and creates a new permanent status for a child, and special guardianship, which grants long‑term parental rights without full adoption. A solicitor helps with court applications for adoption or Special Guardianship Orders, drafts and files petitions, prepares evidence and welfare reports, coordinates with local authorities and birth relatives, and represents the client at hearings in the family court under the Adoption and Children Act 2002 and related legislation.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The decisive steps involve court orders that permanently shape the child’s upbringing and legal rights. A solicitor ensures timely, properly evidenced applications, monitors consent requirements, and navigates any implications for inheritance, contact, and parental responsibilities. Delays or errors can affect the child’s future stability and the family’s legal position.

Alexandra Goldrein

Tagged solicitor Alexandra Goldrein

Alex, is nothing short of extraordinary. She has been a constant source of strength, offering empathy and support. She is professional, knowledgeable and reliable, in the event I could not reach her she would return calls promptly. I can’t recommend Alex Goldrien and Slater Heelis highly enough.

Beth Sheridan

Tagged solicitor Beth Sheridan

I was represented in a child Arrangement Case by Beth Sheridan who works for Stowe Family Law. From the initial contact with this law firm I received the best service and advice. Beth was fully engaged in the case and she worked hard to get all the facts communicated to the courts clearly. The fact that this case was dealt with in 2021 during the covid lock down period, made it impossible to meet in person and discuss the case. However, I did not feel left out at any point as Beth was always available to respond to emails or telephone messages. Dealing with Stowe Solicitors and especially Beth, helped to give my family confidence to continue with life during a very difficult time when my daughter had just been diagnosed with a serious medical condition. I cant thank Stowe solicitors enough and would like to commend them for a job well done.

Daniel Maiden

Tagged solicitor Daniel Maiden

We cannot thank Daniel Maiden at Cartwright King solicitors enough for helping us secure a special guardianship order for our grandchildren, there was so many times I was worried about the outcome but Dan was amazing, he has a very down to earth approach & always managed to keep us calm throughout the entire process, he explained everything in a way I could understand & didn’t baffle us with legal jargon, he kept me updated & was always available when I had any questions (which was a lot), he was always patient and caring & supported us through a very stressful time. The day we arrived at court, we were truly blown away by Dan’s confidence & knowledge. Thanks to Dan’s expertise our grandchildren now have a secure home and a wonderful future ahead of them. We would highly recommend Dan to anyone in a similar position to ours, thank you Dan you are amazing!

Grant Beveridge

Tagged solicitor Grant Beveridge

I have dealt with Grant for about two years and my case ended with a positive outcome. All dealings with Grant (and all at Thompsons) have been professional and I was kept updated regularly and in layman's language too. I intend recommending Thompsons Solicitors whenever possible.

I was incredibly impressed with Chloe when I spoke to her about a child arrangement issue recently. She was incredibly reassuring at a stressful time. She was considered and had a great manner.

Kudos Sabz Solicitors, You have Done it Again.
