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

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This area covers arrangements for where a child lives and with whom they spend time after separation, formalised through child arrangements and parental responsibilities. A solicitor drafts and negotiates orders such as Child Arrangements Orders, Specific Issue Orders and Prohibited Steps Orders, and represents the client in Family Court proceedings or mediations. The work is shaped by factors like the child’s welfare, potential court involvement, and the parents’ ability to agree.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The court can decide on living and contact arrangements, with orders lasting until changed. A solicitor grounds the case in the Children Act 1989, gathers evidence, prepares welfare reports, and advocates for the client in negotiations or hearings to protect the child’s welfare and secure a clear framework for parental involvement.

Andrew Firth

Tagged solicitor Andrew Firth

Andrew has supported me on previous occasions and, whilst he has not formally represented me throughout my recent proceedings, he has continued to provide invaluable legal guidance and support. My case has been particularly challenging. Throughout the Family Court process, Andrew took the time to walk me through documentation, sense-check correspondence from the opposing solicitor, and was even available should I have needed immediate assistance during court hearings. This was also the case through my financial remedy. One might argue that this is simply part of the job and that Foys should expect no less. However, Andrew consistently went well above and beyond what I could reasonably have expected. He not only provided sound legal advice, but also knew when the best course of action was to advise me not to respond at all, which was often just as valuable. He has always acted with the utmost professionalism. Equally important, his humour and wit have frequently shone through. During what was, at times, an isolating and overwhelming legal battle for a lay person, those moments of humanity made a real difference. It is something I will never forget. Andrew is a genuinely decent man, an exceptional solicitor, and a tremendous asset to Foys Solicitors. His experience, judgement and leadership are qualities that cannot easily be replicated. I understand that Andrew is now in the process of embarking on what I hope will be a long and enjoyable retirement. Before he does so, I wanted to place on record my sincere thanks, and those of my children, who now benefit from the security of a robust Child Arrangements Order.

Helen Lucking

Tagged solicitor Helen Lucking

I have used Napthens on a couple of occasions and have found them to be very friendly and efficient in all matters I have taken before them, especially with the personal help of Mrs Helen Lucking – an excellent solicitor with a very friendly manner. I would have no hesitation in using the firm again should the occasion arise.

Sarah Abbotts

Tagged solicitor Sarah Abbotts

I instructed Sarah Abbotts of Beswicks Legal to represent me during a very acrimonious divorce from my former husband. From the very first meeting, Sarah was kind, understanding, and incredibly supportive, and she took the time to guide me through each stage of the process in a way that made everything feel far less overwhelming. Throughout the case, Sarah was always professional, thorough, and clearly very knowledgeable, but what stood out most was the genuine support she gave me during such a difficult time. At trial I secured a favourable outcome, and I do not believe I would have achieved the same result without Sarah representing me. Thank you, Sarah, you made an incredibly stressful and emotional period much easier to get through.

Philip Porter

Tagged solicitor Philip Porter

Philip Porter was excellent in navigating through a difficult divorce. He was wise, strategic, pragmatic, responsive and effective. Without Philip, the divorce would never have been concluded as quickly or fairly as it was. He was adept in minimising difficulties. He is a very safe, skilled and experienced pair of hand, and I highly recommend.
