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

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Children's referrals cover when concerns about a child's welfare are raised and a local authority decides on next steps under statute such as the Children Act 1989. A solicitor practising in this area advises if a local authority or court is involved, guiding you through safeguarding processes, pre-proceedings, and any care or court actions. They help gather and respond to information, prepare statements, and represent you in court or in proceedings with agencies such as CAFCASS. The aim is to protect the child's safety while supporting appropriate family arrangements where possible.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The child's welfare and safety are at stake in these matters, with urgent decisions, potential removal from home, and long-term arrangements. A solicitor ensures timely responses, proper documentation, and adherence to procedural deadlines, reducing the risk of irreversible steps or injustices if errors occur.

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.

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!!

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 .
