Top 10 of 1,643 law firms for Children's Guardian, Child Law

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.

Kerry Avis

Tagged solicitor Kerry Avis

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%.

Melanie BridgenMelanie Theakstone

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 .

Nicola BradleyPaul Reay

Tagged solicitors Nicola Bradley and Paul Reay

I cannot recommend Paul Reay highly enough. An exceptionally clever and knowledgeable family lawyer who knows the law inside out. But what really sets Paul apart is his compassion, honesty and humanity. Throughout an incredibly stressful, lengthy process, I always felt I was in safe hands. He’s always pragmatic, strategic and fiercely effective in court, while also genuinely caring about the children he represents. His advice has always been clear, realistic and trustworthy, and Paul has always balanced his professionalism with warmth and a brilliant sense of humour when it was needed most. If you need someone who is both passionate about achieving the right outcome and deeply supportive along the way, Paul’s outstanding. Have him in fighting for you and your child.

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.
