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.

Claire ChisnallIsabel Kerr

Tagged solicitors Claire Chisnall and Isabel Kerr

Consilia Legal was the first solicitors' firm we felt was genuinely honest, upfront and family-centred throughout the process. Claire was the first person my partner spoke to and immediately stood out. From the beginning, she took the time to explain things clearly, provide context, and make us feel supported. Throughout the case, both Claire and Isabel were incredibly helpful, professional and approachable. Family proceedings are never easy, and not every outcome will be exactly what you hoped for. What mattered to us was that they always focused on what was right, rather than simply what was being argued. They kept my partner's daughter at the centre of every discussion and understood the importance of preserving and supporting family relationships wherever possible. At times, the approach taken by the other side felt more adversarial and focused on challenging our position rather than finding constructive solutions. What stood out about Consilia was that they never allowed themselves to be drawn into that style of litigation. They remained professional, measured and focused on the issues that truly mattered. We felt that their approach reflected our own values and that this professionalism came across clearly in court. We always felt well advised, informed and treated with respect. Their approach was balanced, practical and child-focused, and we are extremely grateful for the support they provided throughout a very difficult period. We would not hesitate to recommend Consilia Legal to anyone looking for honest, professional and compassionate family law solicitors.

Callum Morris

Tagged solicitor Callum Morris

We cannot thank Callum Morris enough for the exceptional support he has given us throughout one of the most difficult periods of our lives. Now that we have finally completed this ordeal, which took over a year to get through, we feel incredibly grateful to have had Callum by our side every step of the way. Before choosing representation, I spent weeks researching and quickly realised that Callum was one of the most qualified and respected professionals in his field. Having now witnessed first-hand exactly what he is capable of, I can honestly say that decision was one of the best we made. From the very beginning, his professionalism, knowledge, and genuine compassion were outstanding. Throughout the entire process, he handled everything perfectly while always making us feel supported and reassured. Even during the hardest moments, Callum managed to lift our spirits, offering comfort and even making us smile when we needed it most. His calm approach, understanding, and dedication made an incredibly stressful situation far more manageable. We are deeply thankful for everything he has done for us. His expertise, commitment, and unwavering support have meant more to us than words can express. We would highly recommend Callum to anyone in need of his services he truly goes above and beyond.

Fiona recently assisted me in the matter of applying for Specific Issue Order in relation to one of my children. Fiona was excellent and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to anyone who finds themselves in need of similar support.
