Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Private Family Law Arrangements, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Private Family Law Arrangements covers how families resolve daily caregiving, contact and living arrangements for children when parents separate, plus related financial matters outside divorce itself. A solicitor advises on negotiating or applying for child arrangements orders, parental responsibility issues, and, where needed, consent orders to formalise arrangements. They draft settlement documents, prepare or respond to court applications, and liaise with the other parent, Cafcass, and the family courts, guiding clients through negotiations or proceedings to protect a child’s welfare and stability.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The key decisions involve where a child lives, how they spend time with each parent, and any restrictions or protections to ensure safety and continuity. If negotiations fail, court proceedings can determine arrangements, with enforceable orders and potential consequences for breach. A solicitor provides a framework for timely, well-documented orders and helps manage complexity when there are multiple carers, step-parents, or relocation issues, reducing the risk of later disputes.

Emily Spencer

Tagged solicitor Emily Spencer

Emily was great. She explained the will writing process and the Power of Attorney in a clear and easily understandable way. She kept us appraised of progress at each stage and arranged meetings at suitable times. She was very personable and made us feel at ease during the process. Emily outlined how things would progress and everything followed the outline. We were very happy with both her and Winston's and would be happy to use them again or recommend them to friends.

Claire Higham

Tagged solicitor Claire Higham

I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional dedication, commitment and expertise that Claire brought to my case as she fought tirelessly to prevent the relocation of my two boys. From our very first consultation, Claire demonstrated an acute understanding of the delicate balance between the legal framework and the very human concerns and upset that I was experiencing. Even though the relocation is going in favour of my ex wife, Claire’s unwavering commitment and professionalism throughout the process were nothing short of extraordinary. Claire immersed herself in every aspect of my situation. She took the time to truly listen to my fears about the uprooting of my sons from their school, friends, and support networks. Her empathy immediately put me at ease. She asked thoughtful questions about the boys’ routines, their relationships with both parents, and the practical challenges of maintaining stability and contact if the relocation was to happen. What sets Claire apart is not just her legal acumen, but her genuine care for her clients. Between hearings and communications with my ex-wife's legal team, she checked in regularly by phone and email, to update me on developments and to offer perspective on next steps. Whenever I felt discouraged, her optimism and thoughtful reassurance reminded me that I was not alone in this life changing event. In the end, while the decision did not align with our hopes, I remain profoundly grateful to Claire. She provided me with clarity, confidence, and the absolute assurance that every possible avenue had been explored on behalf of my boys. And even if we delayed the inevitable, it bought me an additional 18 months of precious time and memories with my boys, which I see as a gift provided for by Claire, of which I will be forever indebted. I wholeheartedly and without a single second of doubt would recommend Claire, her blend of strategic insight, compassionate support, and unshakeable professionalism makes her an outstanding solicitor and person of support in even the most difficult of circumstances.

Sarah Fairbrother

Tagged solicitor Sarah Fairbrother

Sarah's advice and support during my divorce process was second to none. She made the entire process feel easy and removed a lot of the stress from me by being the point of contact for the other side to speak to. I would have no reservations in recommending Sarah to anyone else for support with family law.

Nicola Buchanan

Tagged solicitor Nicola Buchanan

I contacted Scullion Law, whilst looking for legal representation during a difficult time personally when my little girl's mum, and I, where finding it difficult to reach an agreement regarding the shared care of our daughter. I had previously secured a temporary order through a Sheriff Court, with representation from another firm. My little girl is the most important thing in my world and it was important that I had the utmost confidence in my legal representation to assist me in advocating for what was in my child's best interests. I found that I was asked at times to consider what was easiest to negotiate as opposed to advocating what was in my daughter's best interests. This led me to seek new representation, and after some searching I am happy to say I was able to secure the representation of Nicola Buchanan, at Scullion Law. I found Nicola's approach to be proactive and direct. I also found her willing and able to advocate for what I felt was in my daughters best interest. This has resulted in an agreement being reached on schooling and shared cared for our daughter, that has been affirmed in a Sheriff Court. Nicola's representation enabled a extremely difficult personal situation to conclude with an agreement that I believe is in my daughters best interests. An agreement that, as a Dad, I found other solicitors not feeling confident in advocating for. As a father I appreciated being heard by Nicola, her listening and representation has ensured my daughter went to the best school for her, at the right time. The representation has ensured that a shared care arrangement, that had been in place since we as parents separated, will continue and give my daughter the certainty and security she needed, but most importantly deserves. The process was not an easy one emotionally or financially. In comparison to other firms, I did find Scullion Law's fees easier to understand, and therefore easier to financially plan and manage. I would hope that very few would need the support of the family court system and/or legal representation in coming to agreement on family matters. For those needing such support however, I would recommend Nicola Buchanan from Scullion Law.

Jen Law

Tagged solicitor Jen Law

We were very fortunate to have been advised and represented by Jen during a recent case. Undoubtedly without Jen the outcome would have been less positive. We were constantly informed and updated of our situation during the whole process. You could clearly see Jen was respected greatly from the other legal professionals and this provided a great deal of confidence to us as well as a calming influence that is sometimes needed during such delicate discussions and negotiations. We ultimately received the best possible outcome with our case and cannot thank Jen enough. Jen is Tenacious but at the same time a calming influence. We always felt looked after is how i would best describe our experience. Ultimately the most professional service we could have hoped for!
