Law firms ranked by client reviews

Alternative Families covers legal issues that arise when parenting or family life occurs outside the traditional marriage or civil partnership framework. A solicitor in this area helps with fertility and surrogacy arrangements, parental orders, donor conception issues, recognition of parental status for non‑biological or non‑marital parents, co‑habitee disputes over children, step‑parent involvement in parenting, adoption, guardianship and child arrangements. They draft and review agreements, apply to courts for orders, and advise on safeguarding the child’s welfare and the parents’ rights, with regard to court rules and social services involvement.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The key risk is irreversible consequences for a child and parental rights, such as orders altering guardianship or parental status. Court processes, including applications for orders and safeguarding determinations, must be completed within statutory timelines to protect the child and enable clear parenting arrangements.

Michael Hicks

Tagged solicitor Michael Hicks

My overall experience with Michael Hicks has been extremely positive. He took over my case after my previous solicitor retired. At first, I was a little concerned about whether my case would receive the same level of attention, as I was not originally his client. However, those concerns quickly disappeared. Michael was professional, polite, and highly responsive throughout the process. He took the time to understand my case, kept me well informed, and provided honest, practical, and effective advice that gave me confidence every step of the way. I truly appreciate his dedication and support, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy solicitor. I wish Michael every success in the future. Thank you for all your help.

Having had a poor experience with my previous solicitors, Nicola Starbuck was a breath of fresh air. Very professional but easy to understand with a straight forward approach.
