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.

Paul Reay

Tagged solicitor Paul Reay

Before speaking to Paul I had zero contact with my Daughter and my ex partner was making it impossible for me to see her, Paul was quick to take action and within a week I was seeing my daughter again. He made it clear from the start and was very honest about everything from expectations and costs I would highly recommend using him if you can as I have not doubt he is in high demand.

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.

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.

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.
