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.

Sam John

Tagged solicitor Sam John

Sam has been an exceptional solicitor—compassionate, efficient, and unwaveringly committed. He guided me through the deeply painful and complex process of a high-conflict divorce with calm confidence, clarity, and strength. His ability to remain firm and strategic, even when the opposing side used inflammatory tactics to wear me down, made me feel genuinely protected and empowered. As a gay woman navigating the additional emotional and legal challenges of same-sex parenting, I found Sam’s practice to be both affirming and deeply respectful. He understood the nuances involved and always ensured that my rights—and those of my children—were fully represented and upheld. I can’t recommend Sam highly enough. He brings not only legal expertise but also a rare combination of empathy and backbone that is invaluable in situations like mine.

I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Colin - in fact, I have already passed his details on to others. He is highly professional and knowledgeable and goes above and beyond. Colin is equally very approachable and always happy to answer any queries you may have. He has guided me through challenging times, for which I will be forever grateful. Colin explains everything clearly and works tirelessly to achieve the best outcomes. I felt I was in good hands every step of the way. Many, many thanks

Leon Messam

Tagged solicitor Leon Messam

Leon Massan and his firm were absolutely brilliant. We had a really difficult experience with a different solicitor at the start, but Leon was completely different. His knowledge of family law was amazing, but what stood out most was how he used it – he was completely non-judgmental, took the time to acknowledge that I have autism, explained everything clearly in simple terms, and secured an outcome far better than I ever thought possible. He was humane, thoughtful and truly client-focused, putting my needs first every step of the way. I would recommend him and his firm to anybody and everybody. --- Thank you from all the family

Michael Brierley

Tagged solicitor Michael Brierley

Having spent the previous 24 months going around in circles with another practice, it was a pleasure to be introduced to Michael at Stokes Partners who excelled in every sense of the word. From the initial phone call to the final email, his care, excellent advice and efficient service meant much more than words can ever express at a time when the family needed it most.
