Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Parental responsibility, paternity disputes, surrogacy, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Parental responsibility, paternity disputes and surrogacy cover how a child’s welfare is managed when parents, donors or surrogates are involved. In England, solicitors advise on who has parental responsibility, enforce or vary arrangements after separation, challenge or establish paternity, and navigate surrogacy agreements and legal parenthood. A solicitor drafts and reviews orders, applications, and agreements, helps with change of custody or contact, and represents clients in court or in negotiations with the other parent, the surrogate, or the local authority.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The rules around parental responsibility and paternity determine who makes major decisions for a child and who is financially responsible. Surrogacy involves strict regulatory and court oversight to protect the child’s welfare, with orders or records used to establish legal parenthood. A solicitor provides guidance on deadlines, appropriate court routes, and the evidence required to secure or resist orders that affect a child.

Mark Hood

Tagged solicitor Mark Hood

This review is to thank Pardoes for their recent services - initial informative sympathetic enquiry call with Taffy , thank you, and subsequent expert handling of my case with Mark Hood. Whilst not particularly complex, I found my divorce challenging and difficult for me. From the outset, Mark ensured that I understood every step clearly and concisely, explaining what to expect, including the expected costs, so there were no hidden surprises. Ever patient and listening to my concerns, Mark was always an email or call away with his prompt responses and reassuring replies. Mark was also sympathetic and supportive, conscious of my welfare throughout, which was invaluable to the end. Even simple things like easy car parking, friendly reception and offered coffees smoothed each visit to the office. So yes, ultimately the required outcome for me and on my experience, I can recommend Pardoes professional and caring services. Most grateful appreciation to Mark for his expertise and unwavering kindness throughout- thank you.

Ralph McCran

Tagged solicitor Ralph McCran

Have used Malcom Jack for many years for house moves, always excellent service and needed a solicitor for another matter and my conveyancing solicitor passed me on to Ralph McCrann. Excellent service, he really listed to what I needed and advised me accordingly. Matter was dealt with promptly and to my complete satisfaction.

Syed Naqvi

Tagged solicitor Syed Naqvi

I genuinely don’t have enough words to express how incredible Mr Syed Naqvi has been throughout my case. From the very beginning, he was everything you could hope for in a lawyer — deeply professional, kind, and always present. He was responsive at every stage, no matter how small the question or how late the hour, and made me feel like I was never going through this alone. What truly sets him apart is the way he approaches his work — with heart, with care, and with absolute commitment. He didn’t just represent me; he stood with me. Every step felt thought through, every decision made with integrity and compassion. And the barrister he chose, was just as extraordinary. Sharp, articulate, and fiercely protective — but also deeply understanding and warm. I’ve never felt so safe in such a vulnerable process.I could feel how much they both cared, how much they poured into the case, and how determined they were to make sure I was treated fairly and with dignity. I truly felt like I had the very best people by my side — not just legally, but as human beings. I will never forget what they did for me. I’ll carry their kindness and strength with me always.
