Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Alternative Families, Family Law

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.

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.

Jacyn Richardson

Tagged solicitor Jacyn Richardson

Jacyn is an exceptional lawyer. She was the first person I contacted two years ago when I felt like my life was falling apart. From the start, she was professional yet very personable, and she made me feel truly understood. I knew I had someone by my side every step of the way, fighting my corner at a time when I really needed it most. After my case was over, I hoped I wouldn’t need her services again—but unfortunately, I did. When I contacted Jacyn the second time, she immediately remembered me and the details of my situation, even a year later. She was quick to get to work, listened patiently when my emotions ran high, and offered thoughtful, supportive advice. My childs best interest were always put first. I could not recommend anyone more highly. Should I ever need legal support again, I have no doubt that Jacyn will be my first point of call. I have not had much contact with Wace Morgan as a company as this second issue was short, however everyone has been friendly, polite and professional. I can’t fault Jacyn or anybody at this company

Tagged solicitors Claire Sargant and Karen Moores

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.
