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

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Dependent children matters cover a child’s welfare when parents or carers cannot meet their needs, including safeguarding, contact, residence and care proceedings under the Children Act 1989. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates orders, represents the client at the Family Court, and prepares statements and affidavits for applications such as care, supervision or residence orders, emergency protection and local authority safeguarding plans. The work centres on securing the child’s safety, stability and ongoing welfare within the family or care system.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The court’s decision can determine where a child lives, who has day-to-day care, and whether special measures or supervision are required. A solicitor protects these timescales, evidential needs, and the right to proper representation in a process that may involve local authorities, guardians, and the court. Timelines and welfare thresholds mean prompt, precise action is often essential.

Alexandra Goldrein

Tagged solicitor Alexandra Goldrein

Alex, is nothing short of extraordinary. She has been a constant source of strength, offering empathy and support. She is professional, knowledgeable and reliable, in the event I could not reach her she would return calls promptly. I can’t recommend Alex Goldrien and Slater Heelis highly enough.

Danielle has supported me professionally throughout my process from start to finish. She is always on hand when needed and has continued to give the correct advice. I want to thank Danielle for her time spent on my case as she has always gone above and beyond to help where possible.

Grant Beveridge

Tagged solicitor Grant Beveridge

I have dealt with Grant for about two years and my case ended with a positive outcome. All dealings with Grant (and all at Thompsons) have been professional and I was kept updated regularly and in layman's language too. I intend recommending Thompsons Solicitors whenever possible.

I have been with Sabz Solicitors since 2019 and I must say they are reliable and the best so far. I have just received the best news I was waiting for, my baby's registration as a British has been successful and want to use this opportunity to thank my case worker Talal for his hard work towards this application. Kudos Sabz Solicitors, You have Done it Again.

Beth Sheridan

Tagged solicitor Beth Sheridan

I was represented in a child Arrangement Case by Beth Sheridan who works for Stowe Family Law. From the initial contact with this law firm I received the best service and advice. Beth was fully engaged in the case and she worked hard to get all the facts communicated to the courts clearly. The fact that this case was dealt with in 2021 during the covid lock down period, made it impossible to meet in person and discuss the case. However, I did not feel left out at any point as Beth was always available to respond to emails or telephone messages. Dealing with Stowe Solicitors and especially Beth, helped to give my family confidence to continue with life during a very difficult time when my daughter had just been diagnosed with a serious medical condition. I cant thank Stowe solicitors enough and would like to commend them for a job well done.

Jackie Colbert

Tagged solicitor Jackie Colbert

On learning I was being taken to court after my daughters father had cancelled mediation because he wasn't getting the outcome he wanted made me feel anxious, stressed and very upset. I met with Jackie who put it all into perspective and helped me understand that I hadn't done anything wrong and the situation was difficult. I explained that the request of additional time wasn't something my daughter wanted and that I was there for her. My daughters father moved the goal posts multiple time during the hearing and was very difficult to deal with. Having Jackie and a barrister's support during the whole process helped me cope with the situation and how they represented my daughter and me was second to none. They were straight to the point and kind and always acted in our best interest, which provided the best outcome for my daughter. I don't believe I would have got through it without them and I am forever grateful. Jackie and Tom thank you.
