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.

Rebecca Gardiner

Tagged solicitor Rebecca Gardiner

Rebecca made a difficult situation easier through her fair, honest and friendly approach. I felt I had a strong and supportive advisor in my corner as my wife and I worked through an amicable divorce settlement. I was tested on a few occasions and Rebecca's wisdom and firm advice (at times) held me to account so I, as did my wife receive a fair split based on our different situations. Rebecca was always quick to respond and went above and beyond with follow-up points when finalising my case..

Anna Clifton

Tagged solicitor Anna Clifton

Anna has successfully led me through a painful divorce and subsequent child arrangements dispute. The strategies she developed bespoke to my situation ensured I had the best outcome legally possible, while her wit and humour kept me sane throughout what can only be described as the most stressful and painful period in my life. She worked tirelessly for me, including after-hours / weekends, and was always available to talk for urgent matters. Originally I retained different counsel, but after my initial consultation my case was immediately delegated to a junior associate and after multiple delays including missing critical court deadlines, I fired them and hired Anna after my first consultation (where she promptly gave me advice how to reclaim some of the fees I had paid to the original law firm!). Her hourly rate reflects that she is an experienced senior Partner. However, she made significantly more progress in the time she charged than the lower-rate lawyers who worked on my case previously so she's certainly better "value for money". Have a chat with her about your situation and I guarantee you'll be convinced that she is the best family lawyer you can find! Thank you Anna

The service was excellent. The Power of attorney came through without any hitches. We were informed from the start about the pedestrian pace of the wheels of officialdom, and received updates at every stage of the process.

Penny Raby

Tagged solicitor Penny Raby

Penny Raby was heavily involved in the childrens proceedings, and as such, we had a good result. Unfortunately, when we moved to the financial proceedings where the majority of the work was undertaken by other team members, I found the service slipped and I had to chase multiple times for any responses or action to be taken. The result of the financial proceedings was less than satisfactory. Overall, I would not use them again.
