Top 10 of 1,643 law firms for Applications for Placement Orders, Child Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This work covers applications to place a child for adoption under the Adoption and Children Act 2002, sought through court in care proceedings to obtain a placement order. A solicitor drafts and files the application, gathers social services and welfare reports, and coordinates with the guardian and any counsel. They represent the client at hearings to obtain or oppose a placement order, ensuring all evidence is properly served and the child's welfare is the central consideration throughout the process.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The crucial step is the court granting a placement order, which authorises the local authority to place the child for adoption. The solicitor explains the implications of the order, manages timing and guardianship matters, and ensures compliance with statutory thresholds, safeguarding timelines and evidential requirements to protect the child’s immediate and long-term welfare.

Andrew Firth

Tagged solicitor Andrew Firth

Andrew has supported me on previous occasions and, whilst he has not formally represented me throughout my recent proceedings, he has continued to provide invaluable legal guidance and support. My case has been particularly challenging. Throughout the Family Court process, Andrew took the time to walk me through documentation, sense-check correspondence from the opposing solicitor, and was even available should I have needed immediate assistance during court hearings. This was also the case through my financial remedy. One might argue that this is simply part of the job and that Foys should expect no less. However, Andrew consistently went well above and beyond what I could reasonably have expected. He not only provided sound legal advice, but also knew when the best course of action was to advise me not to respond at all, which was often just as valuable. He has always acted with the utmost professionalism. Equally important, his humour and wit have frequently shone through. During what was, at times, an isolating and overwhelming legal battle for a lay person, those moments of humanity made a real difference. It is something I will never forget. Andrew is a genuinely decent man, an exceptional solicitor, and a tremendous asset to Foys Solicitors. His experience, judgement and leadership are qualities that cannot easily be replicated. I understand that Andrew is now in the process of embarking on what I hope will be a long and enjoyable retirement. Before he does so, I wanted to place on record my sincere thanks, and those of my children, who now benefit from the security of a robust Child Arrangements Order.

Eilidh  DennyMartha  Thomson

Tagged solicitors Eilidh Denny and Martha Thomson

I am incredibly grateful for the expert legal representation provided by Martha and Edith. They are a phenomenal team of family lawyers who truly understand the complexities of child welfare and parental rights. Martha and Edith are not only highly professional and sharp in the courtroom, but they also show a deep commitment to the best interests of the child. Their communication is clear, their strategy is robust, and they have provided me with immense support and confidence during a very challenging time. If you are looking for dedicated, results-driven family lawyers in Glasgow, I cannot recommend Martha and Edith at Kee Solicitors highly enough.

Khizar Hussain

Tagged solicitor Khizar Hussain

I would not hesitate to recommend Dynasty Law for family court representation. They were professional throughout and kept me fully informed about what to expect at each hearing, which made a daunting process feel far less overwhelming. Khizar and Zayn have been great, and I couldn’t have asked for better representation.

Bethan Tapper

Tagged solicitor Bethan Tapper

What can I say? Not all superheroes wear capes, and Bethan is a shining example of this truth. From the moment I called her and we ‘opened the book and placed it on the shelf’ to the call I made and said… ‘that book, it’s time to take it off the shelf and open it’ to the moment we finished (hopefully) the last page and placed it back on the shelf! we hope we don’t need to speak again. However, should I ever need to revisit that book, it’s without a doubt Bethan will be the one I want by my side! Throughout this experience, Bethan was nothing short of extraordinary. For anyone searching for unwavering support, she is the one to have in your corner. I cannot thank her enough for her calming presence, her ability to listen, and, most importantly, her steadfast focus on our ultimate goal—my daughter’s well-being. This incredible woman earned my trust, not just with my life but with my daughter’s too, which was paramount. Diolch! Thank you!

Helen has been my solicitor for 2 years. A very long time. She has always been the best. She has fought so hard for me against social services. She always put my point across in a professional way that I would not have been able to. She came to visit me in placement. She always worked around me at all hours. I have had countless appointments. She has listened to me ramble for hours. Thank you.
