Law firms ranked by client reviews

In England, a Children's Guardian is a Cafcass representative appointed to safeguard and promote the child’s best interests in certain family proceedings, typically where there are concerns about those interests or where the court needs an independent view. A solicitor in this area helps by liaising with Cafcass, gathering and presenting evidence, coordinating with social services, and preparing statements and applications for the court. The guardian’s involvement shapes the child’s future arrangements, including where applicable the upbringing and contact with family members.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

The role rests on professional accountability, with regulated conduct and oversight by the Law Society and Cafcass. A solicitor ensures the guardian’s findings are properly considered, supports the child’s position in court, and handles the procedural steps necessary to resolve the case within family court proceedings.

Sarah Buxton

Tagged solicitor Sarah Buxton

I have been involved in protracted complex children matters for almost 3 years which have recently come to an end thanks to the invaluable help of Sarah who has been there every step of the way. I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional support I received from Sarah and Isabel throughout my case. From the outset they demonstrated outstanding legal expertise and also a deep understanding of the complexities and sensitivities involved in my matter. Sarah took every measure to ensure I felt protected and never left me to deal with difficult moments alone. Sarah was always mindful of the nature of my relationship with my ex partner and went above and beyond to safeguard my wellbeing at every stage. No detail was overlooked and clear, strategic advice was provided at each stage which ultimately led to the best outcome for us. Sarah's unwavering commitment, professionalism and genuine empathy and care made an incredibly difficult process much more manageable. I will always be grateful for everything Sarah has done for my child and I. Thank you for never letting me give up and for fighting tirelessly for what was best for my child- I couldn't have asked for a better team to stand by me throughout this process. I highly recommend Sarah and Isabel to anyone facing issues with complex children matters.

Graham Twist

Tagged solicitor Graham Twist

Graham Twist assisted me through a very difficult time in private family law proceedings. He always took into consideration both my child's welfare and my own. His knowledge and advice were outstanding, and he took the time to listen, explain his views, and support me throughout the process. Graham was remarkable at every hearing and provided exceptional support throughout my case. At my final hearing, Nicola, my barrister, was equally outstanding. Together, they gave me confidence and reassurance during an incredibly challenging time. Thank you again, Graham. I am truly grateful for all your help and support.

After a bitter break up with my ex partner and having no voice about my children's welfare and wellbeing, many people told me I had zero chance of being given a fair hearing regarding custody of my children. At first I was sceptical and didn't think I should bother, but I did seek advise and approached Owen, White and Catlin, I can honestly say that the work these people do is exceeded my expectations by miles, they were supportive, advise was made clear when I didn't understand and they were thorough throughout the whole process, The children now live with me and are thriving. A first class service !

Asia Razaq-Miah

Tagged solicitor Asia Razaq-Miah

I had a consultation with Asia regarding a child related matter. She handled the matter compassionately and professionally. She explained the law articulately and provided very clear next steps. Most importantly, she was honest regarding the viability (or not!) of the options available to me. It’s on this basis that I have decided to proceed with Fullers Family Law. I highly recommend Asia for an initial consultation even if you are sure on next steps!!

Michael Tucker

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.
