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.

Kayleigh Bell

Tagged solicitor Kayleigh Bell

Kayleigh is a well informed children’s lawyer. She was particular and exacting in her approach to resolving my children’s matters throughout my divorce. I appreciated that Kayleigh took a mature problem solving approach as opposed to playing a ‘ for tat’ game that doesn’t benefit anyone. It was unfortunate that a Children’s agreement could not be reached after a long and complicated process despite Kayleigh giving her best. Note: I would recommend anyone facing an apathetic or unyielding opposition to take their matter straight to court to avoid a drawn out process with no outcome.

Nicola Conley

Tagged solicitor Nicola Conley

I had a very unique and unusual family case, with many moving parts, services and problems cropping up. Nicola handled every curve ball thrown at her. She was beyond professional, she was my rock professionally through the hardest time in my life. Nicola was involved in my complex case for approximately 3 years and never once lacked enthusiasm, support or fire to help me and what was best for my child. She absolutely put my child’s needs above all else and gave advise which was best when I was being led by emotion. I will always be using Nicola in the future should I need to. First class service and also service that was adapted to my needs.

Ruth Goward

Tagged solicitor Ruth Goward

The service that I have received from Ruth and her team throughout my family court proceedings has exceeded my expectations. This is my first encounter with court and Ruth has guided me through every step of the way, ensuring that I am fully aware of and prepared for each hearing. The barristers that Ruth has selected for each hearing have been excellent in the court room and a great form of support directly prior to and following hearings. Ruth is friendly and approachable and shows a genuine concern for the wellbeing of my children. My proceedings have been lengthy and are not yet complete, I am very pleased that Ruth has been by my side throughout them and trust that she will do everything in her power to obtain the best outcome possible in the future. Thank you, Ruth.
