Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Children Act proceedings, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Children Act proceedings cover how courts decide parental responsibility, residence, contact and safeguarding for children when families face separation, disagreement or risk. A solicitor guides the client through applications under the Children Act 1989, prepares statements, disclosures and witness evidence, negotiates orders such as residence or contact, applies for child arrangements orders, and represents the client at court hearings. The work often involves coordinating with social services, hospital or school staff, and ensuring the child’s welfare remains the court’s central concern.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The decisive factor is the child’s welfare and the potential for permanent changes to where a child lives or how they spend time with each parent. A solicitor helps navigate deadlines, court procedures and the availability of interim orders to protect the child’s best interests while the case proceeds.

Tagged solicitors Emilia Hinchliffe and Ryan Revell

In April, we found ourselves involved in family proceedings following a minor argument between my partner and my daughter’s father, after which my daughter was retained and a number of serious allegations were made against both myself and my partner of eight years. Having looked at the many family solicitors available in the Hull area, we chose Kingston Family Law after reading reviews from other families who had found themselves in similar situations. We believe we made an excellent choice. We were allocated Ryan Revell to deal with our case, and he was fantastic throughout. He clearly explained the court process, what was required from us and the strategy for our case in a way that was easy to understand without being bogged down in legal jargon. Throughout the proceedings, Ryan kept our expectations realistic and, importantly, kept our focus on my daughter and what was best for her. He was organised, well prepared and productive throughout. Our case took around six months to conclude, and ultimately we achieved the result we wanted. Ryan did an excellent job communicating with professionals from ERYC, Cafcass and my daughter’s school, ensuring they had the information they needed to complete their reports and assessments. Anyone requiring the services of a solicitor should be prepared for a significant bill. However, I believe Ryan did his utmost to keep our costs as low as reasonably possible. He listened and communicated effectively, which reduced the need for us to repeatedly ask for clarification, and the court documents he produced were generally ready to go without unnecessary reworking. Kingston Family Law may not be the cheapest family solicitors in Hull, nor are they the most expensive, but we believe we received exceptional service for what we paid. While we feel the proceedings themselves were completely unnecessary and should never have happened, we are incredibly thankful for the support we received throughout them. I would highly recommend Ryan Revell and the team at Kingston Family Law to anyone who finds themselves needing support through family proceedings.

Bethan Tapper

Tagged solicitor Bethan Tapper

Bethan has helped me through court proceedings that have spanned the last 5 years. She has guided me, consoled me when things haven’t gone my way and always advocates for me and my parties best interests. I would trust Bethan with my life (and my families) and even though I have now relocated, I continue to use Bethan. Her knowledge and professionalism is unmatched. She explains things in a way that I can understand, without the legal jargon, and always makes sure the message is recieved as intended. She’s worth her weight in gold and whoever instructs Bethan will in the very safest of hands.
