Top 10 of 1,643 law firms for Appointment of Guardians for Children, Child Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

In England, the appointment of a guardian for a child concerns who will safeguard the child’s welfare when the parents are unable to do so or where a Local Authority is involved. A solicitor acting in this area helps apply to the court to appoint a guardian, or to appoint a guardian ad litem or welfare guardian in specific proceedings, and advises on the guardian’s duties. The process involves assessments, reports to the court, and ensuring the child’s voice is heard in decisions about their future.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor handles applications to appoint guardians, prepares evidence and affidavits, liaises with Local Authorities, social workers and the family, and ensures the guardian has appropriate powers to protect the child’s welfare. They may draft and submit orders or case papers, gather background information, and respond to any objections or changes in circumstances.

So just thought to leave a review, a bit late (2 years to be precise) but couldn't recommend a better family solicitors. I won custody of my son 2 years or so ago with the help of Kerry and her team. As a dad it's never easy to get custody even with everything in your favour I know this but I couldn't of asked for better legal advice and help than I got here. Would recommend 100%.

Tagged solicitors Melanie Bridgen and Melanie Theakstone

I contacted Nelson’s on the recommendation of another client and was allocated Melanie Brigden. After the initial consultation I was more than confident that Melanie and of course Melanie 2 could handle this somewhat difficult case! Initially I went with a child arrangement order which both parents objected to but Melanie soon dealt with their objections and the order was given … I went for an SGO order as well and although it’s wasn’t granted didn’t feel it was anything to do with the lack of attention to detail by Melanie her hands were tied by social worker recommendation. This still didn’t stop Melanie pushing in court for the best outcome possible on the day .. I am totally happy my granddaughter gets to grow up in a safe , loving and stable future. I would recommend the two Melanie’s and employ them again in a minute .

Tagged solicitor Michael Tucker

From day one both Micheal and Darcie have been excellent. They will take time to talk you through the process, they also make themselves available to assist you. One example Micheal was on a weeks holiday and yet he still took time to answer are questions that we had, plus he always keeps us up-to-date with how the case was going. They are both very friendly people and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing legal advice.

Thanks to James Pantling-Skeet and Daisy Fox-Clarkin at Boyes Turner, our son will finally be able a attend an amazing school, that can cater for both his academic and his complex medical needs. It wasn't an easy journey, but we feel our son has now got access to support that will enable him to prosper. Their knowledgable, efficient and caring support helped us through this stressful time. We can thoroughly recommend Boyes-Turner for any EHCP support.
