Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Declarations of Parentage, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Declarations of Parentage cover the factual question of who is a child’s parent, and can provide a formal judicial finding of parentage for a child where it is disputed or uncertain. In England, a solicitor helps clients obtain a court declaration that establishes parentage for a child, enabling rights to contact, inheritance or the child’s welfare arrangements to be settled on a clear footing.

Where a solicitor protects your position

A declaration of parentage formalises who the legal parent is, which affects parental rights and responsibilities, names on the child’s birth record, and duties such as maintenance. A solicitor prepares and presents the application, gathers evidence (including DNA if needed), coordinates with the child’s other parent or guardians, and represents the client in proceedings before the Family Court or High Court so the court can determine parentage.

Zaine El Hassan Riaz

Tagged solicitor Zaine El Hassan Riaz

Excellent Solicitors – Highly Recommended I’m extremely grateful for the support and help I received from my solicitor Zaine during a difficult custody situation. He came to custody to assist me and was professional, calm, understanding, and genuinely supportive throughout the process. They took the time to listen to my concerns, explained everything clearly, and made me feel like I wasn’t facing the situation alone. Their knowledge, dedication, and professionalism gave me confidence at a very stressful time. I would highly recommend their services to anyone who needs a solicitor who truly cares about their clients and goes the extra mile. Thank you so much for all your help and support.

Andrew Firth

Tagged solicitor Andrew Firth

Andrew has supported me on previous occasions and, whilst he has not formally represented me throughout my recent proceedings, he has continued to provide invaluable legal guidance and support. My case has been particularly challenging. Throughout the Family Court process, Andrew took the time to walk me through documentation, sense-check correspondence from the opposing solicitor, and was even available should I have needed immediate assistance during court hearings. This was also the case through my financial remedy. One might argue that this is simply part of the job and that Foys should expect no less. However, Andrew consistently went well above and beyond what I could reasonably have expected. He not only provided sound legal advice, but also knew when the best course of action was to advise me not to respond at all, which was often just as valuable. He has always acted with the utmost professionalism. Equally important, his humour and wit have frequently shone through. During what was, at times, an isolating and overwhelming legal battle for a lay person, those moments of humanity made a real difference. It is something I will never forget. Andrew is a genuinely decent man, an exceptional solicitor, and a tremendous asset to Foys Solicitors. His experience, judgement and leadership are qualities that cannot easily be replicated. I understand that Andrew is now in the process of embarking on what I hope will be a long and enjoyable retirement. Before he does so, I wanted to place on record my sincere thanks, and those of my children, who now benefit from the security of a robust Child Arrangements Order.

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.

Sarah Abbotts

Tagged solicitor Sarah Abbotts

I instructed Sarah Abbotts of Beswicks Legal to represent me during a very acrimonious divorce from my former husband. From the very first meeting, Sarah was kind, understanding, and incredibly supportive, and she took the time to guide me through each stage of the process in a way that made everything feel far less overwhelming. Throughout the case, Sarah was always professional, thorough, and clearly very knowledgeable, but what stood out most was the genuine support she gave me during such a difficult time. At trial I secured a favourable outcome, and I do not believe I would have achieved the same result without Sarah representing me. Thank you, Sarah, you made an incredibly stressful and emotional period much easier to get through.
