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.

Connor Williams

Tagged solicitor Connor Williams

Mr Williams was consulted after my husband and I suffered repeated accusations against us, and an unauthorised alteration in a court agreement granting us scheduled time to spend with our grandchildren, carried out by their mother. We engaged Mr Williams to write to the mother’s solicitor after discussing our options and receiving his advice. We were very pleased with his council throughout and were sorry that we were not in a position to continue with his support at this time.

Sara Rutter

Tagged solicitor Sara Rutter

When I met Sara Rutter, I was in a complete mess with my divorce. Sara listened to everything my children and I had been through, talked me through the process and has been there for us every step of the way. My circumstances have not been the easiest and yet, Sara has acted professionally throughout and has achieved a positive outcome for my boys and I. I honestly can’t thank her enough. I would recommend Sara Rutter to anyone.

Neema Somani

Tagged solicitor Neema Somani

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Conveyancing Service – Highly Recommend Neema Somani I have been a client of Straw & Pearce Solicitors since August 2020, and my experience has been very different depending on the department. For the sale and purchase of my property, I cannot recommend Neema Somani highly enough. From start to finish, Neema provided outstanding service. Her communication was excellent—she always did what she said she would do, kept me updated throughout the process, and never left me wondering what was happening. She was professional, efficient, honest, and straightforward, which made what could have been a very stressful experience much easier. If you are looking for a conveyancing solicitor, Neema is worth every penny. I would happily recommend her to my family and friends. However, my experience with the Children Act and Financial Matters department was very different. In my personal opinion, I did not receive the same level of value or service. If your English is good and you are confident preparing your own documents, I believe you may wish to consider whether paying legal fees in those matters is worthwhile. Overall, I would highly recommend Neema Somani for conveyancing. Her professionalism, communication, and dedication were truly excellent. Thank you for all your hard work.

Working with Heather was a very easy process and made a difficult life situation much more manageable over the many months that it extended. Heather listened carefully and made useful observations and very clear suggestions on the way to proceed.
