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.

Sara Rutter

Tagged solicitor Sara Rutter

When I met Sara Rutter, I was in a complete mess with my divorce. Sara listened to everything my children and I had been through, talked me through the process and has been there for us every step of the way. My circumstances have not been the easiest and yet, Sara has acted professionally throughout and has achieved a positive outcome for my boys and I. I honestly can’t thank her enough. I would recommend Sara Rutter to anyone.

Christopher Wall

Tagged solicitor Christopher Wall

I used Christopher to assist with completing my financial consent order and finalising my divorce. Communication was clear, accurate and very prompt. Christopher and his team have a wealth of knowledge and dealt with every part of the process for me with no issues I would not hesitate to recommend Paul Robinson in the future. Thankyou for you professional assistance.

Ian Brunt

Tagged solicitor Ian Brunt

I worked with Ian regarding an Adoption case. I am an Advocate and I was the Litigation Friend for Dad. Ian was fantastic with the person I was supporting. Ian took time to explain to Dad, in great, simplistic language, what was happening, what Dad's rights where, and how I could help, and Ian could help too. Myself and Ian had a wonderful working relationship, ensuring the best possible outcome for Dad, working in joint partnership. Ian took great steps to explain in clear and honest communication what Dad's rights were, even in what was a very difficult case. Ian was knowledgeable, professional, responsive and always had a friendly smile to greet us. I would use Ian again and would recommend him to the colleagues in my organisation.

Ammarah Balouch

Tagged solicitor Ammarah Balouch

I’m currently in the unfortunate position of having to deal with an ex girlfriend in family court to get contact with my son. From the outset Ammarah has been nothing but cool, calm, and collected even when I have not been. The case is ongoing and I have every faith Ammarah will get the best outcome for my son and myself. It’s not cheap but I feel I couldn’t do it without her guidance and attention to detail

Keri-Anne Bradley

Tagged solicitor Keri-Anne Bradley

Wow. When pray for help, sometimes you get sent an angel. Keri-Anne Bradley At the family law group not only showed me genuine care, but she was straight with me. She took my case on even with a huge work load from other areas because she was genuinely concerned for my children and she put them first the whole way through. I felt safe with her and the trust was instantly there which I struggle with when it comes to solicitors due to past experiences with others! She got us the results we needed in an emergency situation and now my children are so much happier for it. The bar is set very high with this one! Absolute angel, and extremely professional. Thank you from me for your amazing service and my family would all like to say thank you as well!

I instructed Callam Standen at OTB Legal for an FLR(M) unmarried partner application under Appendix FM. From the very first consultation Callam was honest, clear, and straight to the point. He told me what I needed to hear rather than what I wanted to hear, and that honesty gave me confidence throughout the process. My case had some complexity — my partner and I had not cohabited due to some reasons, and I was working to a very tight deadline. Callam understood the urgency, prepared a thorough and well-crafted application, and addressed every potential question the caseworker might have in a detailed cover letter. He also discussed the case with a senior colleague to make sure the strategy was right. The application was submitted using the super priority service and was approved the day of biometrics. I could not have asked for a better outcome. Callam was responsive, professional, and genuinely cared about getting this right. His fees were transparent and fair, and he even adjusted them when the scope of the case changed. I would recommend him and OTB Legal without hesitation to anyone in a similar position. Thank you Callam — you changed my life.
