Top 10 of 1,643 law firms for Local Authority Involvement, Child Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This area covers how local authorities exercise their children’s services responsibilities when a child may need protection or welfare support, and how this affects families. A solicitor in this field handles proceedings and decisions that involve safeguarding, step-in measures, and long‑term plans for a child’s welfare within the family court system. They represent the interests of the child or guardian, review care or supervision plans, and assist with applications for orders or placements under the Children Act, including safeguarding investigations and child arrangements where appropriate.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The stakes are high because key welfare decisions—such as removal from the home or ongoing supervision—affect a child’s future and rights. A solicitor provides guidance on the timeliness of orders, the evidential requirements in care proceedings, and the protection offered by orders like care orders, supervision orders, or permanence arrangements, with attention to safeguarding duties, court procedures, and adherence to regulatory standards.

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.

Kudos Sabz Solicitors, You have Done it Again.

Judy  Johnson

Tagged solicitor Judy Johnson

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.
