    In England, Issues with Social Services covers safeguarding, child protection and the involvement of local authorities in family life, from early help to formal care proceedings. A solicitor in this area investigates concerns, reviews or challenges social services decisions, and helps with applications for orders or plans that affect a child’s living arrangements. They gather evidence, liaise with social workers and Cafcass, and represent clients at interim and final hearings in the family courts. The work is guided by the Children Act 1989 and related legislation and guidance.

    “Michael Hicks assisted me during divorce proceedings and child act proceedings. He is extremely approachable, professional yet empathetic lawyer. My case was complex (divorce, family matters, contact of non resident parent and child) and dragged due to my ex partner being unreasonable. However I am confident that I would not achieve what I did without the help of well informed and extremely efficient solicitor. If I was to use legal assistance in the future Michael would be the first person to contact. Thank you ”
