Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Child Custody, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Child custody in England covers who a child lives with, who makes important decisions about their upbringing, and how contact with the other parent is arranged. A solicitor helps clients apply for, respond to, or defend orders such as a Child Arrangements Order, and to navigate parental responsibility and best interests assessments. They advise on evidence, draft applications, and represent clients at family courts to secure a stable living and contact arrangement for the child.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The court’s primary concern is the child’s welfare, with decisions that can affect living arrangements, schooling, and parental involvement. If a decision is not made promptly, the child’s day-to-day upbringing and long-term stability may be affected; a solicitor helps ensure timely, robust submissions and adherence to procedural deadlines under the Children Act 1989 and related family court rules.

Rebecca Cresswell

Tagged solicitor Rebecca Cresswell

I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Rebecca for anyone who needs support with family matters. There has been no issue too big or too small, she has been understanding and fair throughout the time I have needed support and advice. While not a service I wanted to use, she was professional and helped navigate throughout my separation and subsequent child agreements.

Giles Dobson

Tagged solicitor Giles Dobson

I would like to express my deepest appreciation towards Martin Tolhurst and more specifically towards Mr. Dobson and all his administrative and legal associates who worked on my case. My case was about the relocation of my child away from the U.K.. It was extremely confrontational to the degree of utter polarisation – at times probing the limits of civility. However, Giles managed the case impeccably and thanks to his services I can know look forward into the future with the ‘glass half-full instead of half-empty’. I would like to draw attention specifically to his exemplary customer-calibrated ethos. When the time came and we had to make a choice, while he could easily keep ‘churning out’ legal costs, he leant on me more as a friend and less as a legal counsellor with the aim to bring about closure – which we did. I, along with my daughter, ‘owe’ him.

Lola Goodwin

Due to obstacles and difficulties from the respondent, this was a drawn out, stressful experience. We were helped, reassured and sometimes carried by Heringtons to a perfect resolution for my boy.

Vanessa Gillbanks

Tagged solicitor Vanessa Gillbanks

I found Vanessa Gillbanks extremely helpful and informative, using language that was easy to understand at a time that was very stressful to me. I would readily recommend this company. The charges were advised to me before I started any proceedings which of course was preferable as I was able to budget for these. I am completely happy to go back to Richard Nelson LLP for any future needs.

Kuldeep Clair

Tagged solicitor Kuldeep Clair

Highly recommend Kuldeep as he is professional, thorough, efficient, decent and overall a pleasure to deal with. He will give you straight answers about your case which is what you need when approaching legal matters that you are unfamiliar with. If required and the urgency arises, he will work late hours and contact you on weekends as well. Kuldeep was able to resolve an ongoing dispute regarding Child Arrangement to my satisfaction and with a positive outcome relatively quick and with minimum effort. This ongoing dispute was mismanaged terribly by my previous lawyers Hamilton solicitors for almost 2 years which caused me considerable distress. Thank you Kuldeep! I really appreciate all your help and support.
