Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Adoption Order, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

An adoption order transfers parental rights and responsibilities to a new family, creating a permanent, legally recognised parent–child relationship. In England, a solicitor advises on and progresses adoption applications through the Family Court, gathering home studies, reports from social services, and welfare assessments, and handling consent from birth parents where possible. The work includes applying for, responding to, and defending against related orders, ensuring the child’s best interests are met and finalising the adoption with a court decree.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The key moment is the final decree of adoption, which permanently changes who is legally recognised as the child’s parent and ends the child’s prior legal status. A solicitor helps navigate time-sensitive court steps, safeguarding the child's future and ensuring proper welfare oversight and consent where required.

Andrea Bell

Tagged solicitor Andrea Bell

I instructed Hansells for the creation of a health and wealth POA for myself as they are the custodians of my Will. The person dealing with my POA was Andrea Bell who on my arrival put me at ease and was very approachable. During the process of filling in the forms I made a couple of mistakes and again Andrea corrected these for me which made the whole experience less stressful. In my opinion Andrea made an exceptional job of my POA.

Stephanie Buckeridge

Tagged solicitor Stephanie Buckeridge

Dealing with Stephanie Buckeridge in support of my divorce was much easier than I might have expected. Her professional advice, tempered with a supportive approach made the whole process acceptable. Her reaction to some of the requests from the other party matched my thoughts, though I was always provided with alternative approaches, along with potential consequences. I would certainly recommend Gardner Leader to others.

Bethan Davies

Tagged solicitor Bethan Davies

I cannot thank Bethan and her family law team enough. From start to finish, the were professional, compassionate and completely child-focused. Family proceedings can feel overwhelming, but I always felt supported, clearly advised and fully prepared. Their dedication and expertise secured a Special Guardianship Order and name change for my son, giving him the permanence and stability he deserves. The outcome has changed our lives immeasurably. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone facing family court proceedings. Forever grateful.

I engaged Karen Moore for divorce proceedings on the recommendation of a friend. I was so pleased I did. Karen was honest forthright and clear. She was totally professional and kept me up to date with everything. I felt she always had my best interest at heart. Although an expensive process she was worth every penny. She was very up front about cost expectation and process. I would have no hesitation it recommending her services. Her supporting team also deserves praise . Thank you for your support during what was a very difficult time.

Ian Brunt

Tagged solicitor Ian Brunt

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.
