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.

Helen Lucking

Tagged solicitor Helen Lucking

I have used Napthens on a couple of occasions and have found them to be very friendly and efficient in all matters I have taken before them, especially with the personal help of Mrs Helen Lucking – an excellent solicitor with a very friendly manner. I would have no hesitation in using the firm again should the occasion arise.

I cannot thank Sarah enough for everything she has done for my daughter and me. This has been a long, exhausting, and emotional journey, and throughout it all Sarah has shown nothing but kindness, compassion, and unwavering support. From the very beginning, she listened to me, believed me, and made me feel truly heard when I needed it most. Sarah is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly knows exactly what she is doing. Her expertise, professionalism, and attention to detail gave me confidence throughout the entire process. Whenever I had concerns or questions, she was able to explain things clearly, provide reassurance, and guide me in the right direction. Knowing that someone so experienced was supporting us made an enormous difference during such a difficult time. There were times when I felt overwhelmed and uncertain about what the future would hold, but Sarah was always there to offer reassurance, guidance, and understanding. Her patience, genuine care, and dedication helped me navigate one of the most challenging periods of my life with confidence and hope. Because of Sarah's support, my daughter and I can finally move forward with our lives and focus on building a happy future together. The positive impact she has had on our lives is something I will never forget. Sarah goes above and beyond for the people she supports, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had her by my side throughout this process. Her dedication, empathy, expertise, and commitment have made a life-changing difference for our family. Thank you, Sarah, for believing in me, supporting us every step of the way, and helping us reach this point. I will always be grateful for everything you have done, and I would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone who needs support, guidance, and someone who genuinely cares.
