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.

Terri Anson-Dean

Tagged solicitor Terri Anson-Dean

I cannot thank Terri Anson-Dean enough for her exceptional support, professionalism, and dedication throughout a very challenging family matter. From the beginning, Terri provided clear advice, practical guidance, and reassurance during what was often a stressful and emotionally demanding process. She was always well prepared, responsive, and committed to achieving a fair outcome. Her attention to detail and understanding of the legal issues gave me confidence at every stage. Thanks to Terri's hard work and persistence, we were able to successfully navigate court proceedings and reach a positive outcome. Throughout the process, she remained calm, professional, and focused on what was most important, particularly the best interests of the children and the fair resolution of the issues involved. I am deeply grateful not only for Terri's legal expertise but also for the care, patience, and encouragement she showed throughout. She went above and beyond to support me during a very difficult period of my life. I would highly recommend Terri Anson-Dean to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, dedicated, and compassionate family solicitor. Thank you, Terri, for everything you have done for me and my family.

I received fantastic service from Andrew during an extremely difficult time. He put my mind at ease at every step of the process and maintained constant communication, ensuring I was always fully informed. Having a solicitor who was knowledgeable, reassuring, and readily available to address my concerns made an incredibly challenging situation far more manageable. I would highly recommend Andrew without hesitation to anyone facing divorce proceedings.
