Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Guardianship Disputes, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Guardianship disputes in England cover who should have lasting responsibility for a child when parents cannot or should not decide. A solicitor helps with court applications to appoint, vary or remove a guardian under the Children Act 1989, advising on parental responsibility, welfare decisions and who can make important choices about the child’s life. They assist with preparing evidence, drafting court documents, negotiating with family members, and presenting the case in the Family Court or its approved equivalents, always focusing on the child’s welfare and legal status.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The decisive issues are who will exercise parental responsibility and make ongoing welfare decisions for the child, including where they live and how they are looked after. A solicitor helps gather evidence, prepare applications for guardianship orders, and present the case to the court, ensuring the child’s rights and best interests are protected under the Children Act 1989.

I had the luxury of having Karen as my solicitor. She was amazing from beginning to end. Karen made me feel comfortable and at ease all of the time. No matter my questions, I never felt silly asking them. Karen would always respond in a respectful manner and would always respond and never leave me hanging.

Emilia HinchliffeRyan Revell

Tagged solicitors Emilia Hinchliffe and Ryan Revell

In April, we found ourselves involved in family proceedings following a minor argument between my partner and my daughter’s father, after which my daughter was retained and a number of serious allegations were made against both myself and my partner of eight years. Having looked at the many family solicitors available in the Hull area, we chose Kingston Family Law after reading reviews from other families who had found themselves in similar situations. We believe we made an excellent choice. We were allocated Ryan Revell to deal with our case, and he was fantastic throughout. He clearly explained the court process, what was required from us and the strategy for our case in a way that was easy to understand without being bogged down in legal jargon. Throughout the proceedings, Ryan kept our expectations realistic and, importantly, kept our focus on my daughter and what was best for her. He was organised, well prepared and productive throughout. Our case took around six months to conclude, and ultimately we achieved the result we wanted. Ryan did an excellent job communicating with professionals from ERYC, Cafcass and my daughter’s school, ensuring they had the information they needed to complete their reports and assessments. Anyone requiring the services of a solicitor should be prepared for a significant bill. However, I believe Ryan did his utmost to keep our costs as low as reasonably possible. He listened and communicated effectively, which reduced the need for us to repeatedly ask for clarification, and the court documents he produced were generally ready to go without unnecessary reworking. Kingston Family Law may not be the cheapest family solicitors in Hull, nor are they the most expensive, but we believe we received exceptional service for what we paid. While we feel the proceedings themselves were completely unnecessary and should never have happened, we are incredibly thankful for the support we received throughout them. I would highly recommend Ryan Revell and the team at Kingston Family Law to anyone who finds themselves needing support through family proceedings.
