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.

Giles Dobson

Tagged solicitor Giles Dobson

I would like to express my deepest appreciation towards Martin Tolhurst and more specifically towards Mr. Dobson and all his administrative and legal associates who worked on my case. My case was about the relocation of my child away from the U.K.. It was extremely confrontational to the degree of utter polarisation – at times probing the limits of civility. However, Giles managed the case impeccably and thanks to his services I can know look forward into the future with the ‘glass half-full instead of half-empty’. I would like to draw attention specifically to his exemplary customer-calibrated ethos. When the time came and we had to make a choice, while he could easily keep ‘churning out’ legal costs, he leant on me more as a friend and less as a legal counsellor with the aim to bring about closure – which we did. I, along with my daughter, ‘owe’ him.

Tia Harrison

Tagged solicitor Tia Harrison

Tia Harrison at Heringtons Solicitors helped me resolve a deeply personal and longstanding family law issue involving paternity after a third party unexpectedly instructed a solicitor. I hadn’t planned to involve solicitors myself, and I felt completely unprepared when the situation was suddenly formalised. Tia handled everything with sensitivity and clarity while immediately understanding both what I wanted to achieve and what I didn’t. She explained my legal position in a way I simply hadn’t understood before, and then guided me through each step in the process to bring the matter to a resolution that I had genuinely feared might never come. Finally reaching that point after so long meant more to me than I can easily put into words. Tia’s fees were very reasonable, but the peace of mind and closure she helped me reach were truly priceless. I would recommend Tia and Heringtons to anyone needing support with family law matters.
