Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Child Contact and Paternity Issues, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This area covers resolving who a child will spend time with after separation, and cases where paternity affects parental rights and responsibilities. A solicitor helps you assess who has parental responsibility, gathers together the evidence about suitable contact, drafts and negotiates orders, and applies to the court for contact or residence orders where agreement cannot be reached. They also handle enforcement if contact is breached and arrange DNA or paternity testing where needed, liaising with social services and guardians as appropriate.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The stakes revolve around the child’s welfare and the certainty of routine arrangements. A solicitor’s work focuses on securing or reviewing orders for contact, residence, and parental responsibilities, and on responding to any breaches. They ensure the relevant evidence is presented to the court and that the proceedings respect the child’s best interests and any urgent interim needs.

Nicola Buchanan

Tagged solicitor Nicola Buchanan

I found Nicola to be very helpful and very easy to talk to. She helped me navigate the various challenges in my divorce proceedings in a sympathetic and informative way. She always explained each stage of the process in layman's terms which helped greatly with my decision making. I would be happy to recommend her services to any prospective clients.

Orla OConnor

Tagged solicitor Orla OConnor

I would very strongly recommend Stowe Family Law. I have used Stowe for various legal proceedings for children’s and family finance related cases and they have been excellent. Throughout litigation, I have dealt with many members of staff at Stowe and they have all been extremely helpful and competent. I instructed Orla O’Connor for the legal proceedings. Orla is incredibly knowledgable and thorough, offering sound advice and managing my case, which was particularly challenging at times, very professionally. Orla was able to achieve my desired outcome at the final hearing and conclusion of my child order application. I cannot recommend Orla (and Stowe) highly enough !

Brian Fraser

Tagged solicitor Brian Fraser

After 18 months of torture following a horrible separation and floundering around with a number of awful lawyers clearly only interested in getting paid I stumbled across Brian at Elite Law. As with most lawyers I got the one hour free intro phone call but I knew I was on the right track when the hour was well and truly over but he still called me back to finish the story and I genuinely felt that he heard me and understood what I was going through. In the following days he came back to me with a plan and reassured me that he knew what to do and this turned out to be true. Over the following months he continued to reassure me that my position was solid and explained the law and his plan for what to do. He communicated well despite probably having many other clients and the advice he gave me turned out to be exactly the right thing to do which ended with a far more positive result than I had reconciled myself with when we first spoke. I would never have thought to do what we did but it got me the right result and I am forever grateful. Brian was part therapist at the beginning and part friend at the end and it was worth every penny.

Excellent and professional service. Mrs Alicia Nesham helped us with our LP of Attorney explaining all aspects in a clear, understandable and personable way. Also contacted our previous solicitors and went beyond what could have been expected without being asked, very impressed with the service given.

Jen Law

Tagged solicitor Jen Law

We were very fortunate to have been advised and represented by Jen during a recent case. Undoubtedly without Jen the outcome would have been less positive. We were constantly informed and updated of our situation during the whole process. You could clearly see Jen was respected greatly from the other legal professionals and this provided a great deal of confidence to us as well as a calming influence that is sometimes needed during such delicate discussions and negotiations. We ultimately received the best possible outcome with our case and cannot thank Jen enough. Jen is Tenacious but at the same time a calming influence. We always felt looked after is how i would best describe our experience. Ultimately the most professional service we could have hoped for!

Maya LalTim Ridyard

Tagged solicitors Maya Lal and Tim Ridyard

If you are looking for legal representation for yourself or possibly a son or daughter, especially if its a delicate matter, then simply, look no further, we were left in a very unfortunate position where for some unknown reason, at the last minute the legal firm we had, decided to stop representing my son, Ashtons Legal stepped in, and all i can say is they were unbelievable in every way, we were 100 percent confident that they were really fighting our sons corner, yes they were exceptionally professional but more than that, they really showed compassion and understanding for what we were going through and yes the result they achieved in court was far better than we ever expected. It is so difficult picking the right legal representation, our worry was always have we picked the right one, simple answer yes we did we chose Ashtons.
