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.

I was going through divorve and having a hard time with solicitors from the other arty. Paris Smith helped cut through the unecessary noise and back my corner. I was having daily panic attacks and waiting weeks for replies from the other firm, only to have to repeat myself. The proocess still tookj far longer than I imagined but I dont feel this was because of my firm, as they dealt with my replies promptly and chased the other firm to wrap things up.

Anjani Fatania

Tagged solicitor Anjani Fatania

Looking for a solicitor to deal with my divorce finances was quite daunting. I decided to read the reviews for Fullers whilst searching online and was very impressed. Anjani Fatania was allocated to me and, from the moment we spoke on the phone, she made me feel incredibly comfortable and was very understanding of my needs. I was continuously kept up to date with my case and emails were responded to in a professional and courteous manner. I would like to congratulate Anjani and her team for their continuous professionalism

I instructed Callam Standen at OTB Legal for an FLR(M) unmarried partner application under Appendix FM. From the very first consultation Callam was honest, clear, and straight to the point. He told me what I needed to hear rather than what I wanted to hear, and that honesty gave me confidence throughout the process. My case had some complexity — my partner and I had not cohabited due to some reasons, and I was working to a very tight deadline. Callam understood the urgency, prepared a thorough and well-crafted application, and addressed every potential question the caseworker might have in a detailed cover letter. He also discussed the case with a senior colleague to make sure the strategy was right. The application was submitted using the super priority service and was approved the day of biometrics. I could not have asked for a better outcome. Callam was responsive, professional, and genuinely cared about getting this right. His fees were transparent and fair, and he even adjusted them when the scope of the case changed. I would recommend him and OTB Legal without hesitation to anyone in a similar position. Thank you Callam — you changed my life.

Sam is brilliant at what she does. She tells you straight, no flannel, and gets it done. Jo and Fiona are fabulous and Sam is so lucky to have them as the amount of paperwork is phenomenal! First class. Thank you. Deep pockets may be needed, but worth every penny.

Sonia Racker

Tagged solicitor Sonia Racker

After receiving a C100 form from my daughter's father, who had chosen not to see her for two years, I initially planned to represent myself. However, the burden became overwhelming, prompting me to seek legal assistance. I contacted around eight solicitors offices, and upon speaking with Sonia, I felt an immediate connection and knew I wanted her to represent me. Her willingness to provide advice without any obligation to represent me, along with her genuine desire to help and listen to the child's needs, stood out to me. Throughout the case, Sonia offered exceptional support and helped me uncover the false allegations and inconsistencies presented by my daughter's father. During the first hearing, she successfully obtained a live-with order for me, which I hadn't even realised was an option. She communicated in clear, understandable terms, avoiding legal jargon, which made me feel informed and less stressed about the proceedings. Knowing that my case was in the hands of someone with strong family values alleviated a great deal of pressure. As a victim of domestic abuse, my daughter's safety was my top priority, and Sonia played a crucial role in securing an indirect order. Initially, I faced the possibility of my daughter being forced to spend alternate weekends with her father against her wishes, but thanks to Sonia's efforts, we prioritized what truly matters: my daughter's well-being.
