“With Judy Johnson’s help, we achieved an outcome that had seemed almost impossible. Judy was highly recommended to us as a children’s lawyer. She supported us in caring for a deeply troubled teenager. When we found ourselves in conflict with a local authority and social workers whom we believed had failed both the young person and us. Those concerns ultimately came before the family courts. In our experience, good hearted carers of foster placements, special guardian arrangements, and similar settings can be unfairly discredited when local authorities seek to avoid responsibility and shift blame. Judy Johnson is an outstanding lawyer who stood by us throughout six gruelling months in which we felt relentlessly vilified. We trusted her judgment at every stage, even as two elderly people facing circumstances we could scarcely have imagined. Judy guided us through every accusation and challenge, including what we regarded as malicious falsehoods intended to damage our reputation. We thought we had already experienced everything life could throw at us, but we were wrong. With Judy’s support, we withstood the local authorities attempt to avoid responsibility for what we believe was gross neglect. We wish more lawyers like Judy were available to help grandparents like us, who feel failed by the judicial system and confronted by local authorities whose conduct, in our experience, knows no bounds. In our experience, departments close ranks—-from social workers—-school staff—while serious complaints about dishonesty and misconduct go unaddressed. Judy Johnson, we can never thank you enough for helping us escape the appalling abuse we endured and for securing yesterday’s decisive victory.”

“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. ”

“I worked with Ian regarding an Adoption case. I am an Advocate and I was the Litigation Friend for Dad. Ian was fantastic with the person I was supporting. Ian took time to explain to Dad, in great, simplistic language, what was happening, what Dad's rights where, and how I could help, and Ian could help too. Myself and Ian had a wonderful working relationship, ensuring the best possible outcome for Dad, working in joint partnership. Ian took great steps to explain in clear and honest communication what Dad's rights were, even in what was a very difficult case. Ian was knowledgeable, professional, responsive and always had a friendly smile to greet us. I would use Ian again and would recommend him to the colleagues in my organisation.”

“We were wrongfully put in a very difficult position involving social services and police. Raj Chahal specifically was of great help to us and I would definitely recommend her. If you’re looking for a lawyer to fight your case wholeheartedly then she is the perfect choice for you. Raj is a great lawyer and I am very satisfied with my experience with her and the outcome she provided.”

“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.”

“I am very happy with the service provided from this firm, also the barrister that was assigned to assist during the court hearings. The Solicitors were easily contactable and always replied quickly and were informative. They took away mass amounts of stress during this difficult time and I feel going forward there is a clear plan for my child to spend time with her father. Thankyou very much.”

“After going through a messy break up with my daughters mother I was deprived of my child and had all services possible weaponized against me. I needed professional legal help. The firms solicitor I had was Cheryl copper who I can't thank enough for all her hard work and effort on my case. Cheryl was informative helpful and knowledgeable on the matter and went above and beyond to email and call me out of work hours when a safe guarding issue occurred and helped me to get my daughter into a safe environment where she's happy and thriving living with me. The barrister i had for court was also amazing at her job and fought my corner very well and made sure my daughter stays with me. I can't express my gratitude enough for all the hard work you've all put in over the months. It's been an absolute pleasure to have such a great team supporting me and my daughter. I will never forget how you helped me Cheryl. Thank you so much. Sincerely, Nicholas Rowlands. ”
