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.

Jacyn Richardson

Tagged solicitor Jacyn Richardson

Jacyn is an exceptional lawyer. She was the first person I contacted two years ago when I felt like my life was falling apart. From the start, she was professional yet very personable, and she made me feel truly understood. I knew I had someone by my side every step of the way, fighting my corner at a time when I really needed it most. After my case was over, I hoped I wouldn’t need her services again—but unfortunately, I did. When I contacted Jacyn the second time, she immediately remembered me and the details of my situation, even a year later. She was quick to get to work, listened patiently when my emotions ran high, and offered thoughtful, supportive advice. My childs best interest were always put first. I could not recommend anyone more highly. Should I ever need legal support again, I have no doubt that Jacyn will be my first point of call. I have not had much contact with Wace Morgan as a company as this second issue was short, however everyone has been friendly, polite and professional. I can’t fault Jacyn or anybody at this company

Chelsea McVicker

Tagged solicitor Chelsea McVicker

I recently worked with Chelsea at Nash & Co for a family law matter, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of service and expertise she provided. From the very beginning, Chelsea demonstrated a deep understanding of the complexities involved in custody and visitation issues, offering clear and strategic advice that consistently prioritised the best interests of my child. Chelsea’s communication throughout the process was exceptional—prompt, professional, and always attentive to my concerns. She took the time to explain every step in detail, ensuring I was fully informed and confident in the decisions we made together. What truly stood out was Chelsea’s ability to handle sensitive issues with both compassion and a firm grasp of the legal principles involved. She was not just focused on winning, but on achieving an outcome that was fair, sustainable, and in the best interests of my child. I would highly recommend Chelsea at Nash & Co to anyone facing family law challenges. Her expertise, combined with a genuine commitment to her clients, makes her a standout solicitor in this field.
