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.

Professional, good communication and knowledge. Not frightened to have difficult conversations but at same time listening to my needs. Met my expectations, she was professional but showed empathy at difficult times but stayed focused on resolutions and communicating clearly and in a timely manner.

Paul Reay

Tagged solicitor Paul Reay

Paul Reay at McAlister Family Law acted for me in relation to divorce, finances, and custody proceedings. Paul has become more of a friend than a legal advisor. He has offered professional advice and wrote brilliant, detailed, professional and informative letters to other professionals, when letters were needed and sometimes, they were needed at a moment notice. Paul has excellent knowledge of children’s matters and all the dos and donts and could always advise without hesitation. Paul was on hand to help me check over letters I had to personally send out in relation to matters that didn’t require my solicitor to send. Paul is very approachable, friendly and professional and also calming when I was anxious/upset as I am sure we all feel during these awful proceedings, especially when kids are involved. Paul is an asset to McAlister Family Law and I strongly recommend him to anyone who needs a solicitor who is on the ball and treats clients like they truly matter and are not just a file reference number! Always there, and always interested! I would not use anyone else if I needed further work doing. Trustworthy and honest guy.

We have known and used Hallmarks since the late 1970's. 4 x house conveyancing, wills and most recently Lasting Power of Attorney - the people we have dealt with have been processional and efficient throughout.

Anita Dosanjh

Tagged solicitor Anita Dosanjh

Anita has supported me through a very long 18 months. She has consistently remained professional, even during very difficult times. Nothing has been too much trouble, from numerous emails and phone calls, often on a daily basis. She has been an all round fantastic representative. Hopefully I never need to use these services again but if I do, I would definitely return to Anita at PCB. Thank you!
