Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Relative Adoption, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Relative Adoption covers legally adopting a child where the prospective adoptive parent is a relative or someone close to the child, in England. A solicitor in this area handles applications to the family court for an adoption order, drafts and negotiates the consent and related welfare reports, prepares the necessary court documents, and liaises with the local authority, adopters, and the child’s birth family. The process is guided by the Adoption and Children Act 2002 and care proceedings when relevant, and results in the transfer of parental rights to the adoptive relative. The work may involve welfare assessments, home studies, and post-adoption matters such as contact arrangements.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The key decision is the adoption order, which permanently transfers parental rights and responsibilities. A solicitor provides guidance on timing, evidence, and any competing claims, and ensures timetables and court steps are met, with attention to safeguarding and the child’s welfare throughout the process.

Christopher Wall

Tagged solicitor Christopher Wall

I used Christopher to assist with completing my financial consent order and finalising my divorce. Communication was clear, accurate and very prompt. Christopher and his team have a wealth of knowledge and dealt with every part of the process for me with no issues I would not hesitate to recommend Paul Robinson in the future. Thankyou for you professional assistance.

Hannah Byatt

Tagged solicitor Hannah Byatt

After being passed between four different solicitors at another firm during a long and difficult divorce, I cannot overstate what a difference Hannah made. From the moment she took on my case, she brought calm, clarity and real insight to a process that had felt relentless and overwhelming. Hannah arranged an excellent barrister on my behalf and managed the entire process from start to finish with exceptional professionalism. I always felt informed, supported and confident that my case was in the right hands. I would wholeheartedly recommend Hannah to anyone going through a difficult family law matter. She is quite simply outstanding.

Julie Munday

Tagged solicitor Julie Munday

Extremely knowledgeable, everyone at Taylor and Emmett goes above and beyond to help. Julie Munday (family law) is absolutely fantastic, her experience in family law makes her the best lawyer you could hope for to represent you. She made sure I understood the family court process, what each outcome could be, helped me to understand all the documents and made sure I had statements that covered everything that I needed to benefit my side of the case. Her advice was always straightforward and informative and also compassionate (a lot of court professionals lack this skill, but family court can be very emotional and it helps to have someone on your side who is not only knowledgeable and experienced but also understanding of the emotional impact these cases can have on parents and family). I would highly recommend Taylor and Emmett and Julie Munday.

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

Samantha Bushell

Tagged solicitor Samantha Bushell

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.

Angela Killa

Tagged solicitor Angela Killa

Over the past 3 years I have had representation from Angela on a complex family matter and my experience was exceptional. From the initial consultation to resolution of the case (3 years later), Angela demonstrated professionalism, expertise and genuine commitment to achieving the best outcome for me and my family. Throughout the process Angela provided clear and concise advice, keeping me informed at every step and ensuring that I understood all of my options. What truly stood out was her empathy and understanding towards my situation. Angela not only addressed the legal aspects of the case but also took into consideration the emotional impact it had on me. The level of genuine care from Angela made a significant difference during what has been a very challenging few years for me. I will forever be grateful for Angela’s dedication and unwavering support throughout the entire process. Thanks to her expertise and guidance, we were able to achieve the outcome that exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Angela to anyone. Overall my experience with Angela was nothing short of excellent and I am truly thankful for her outstanding representation. Whilst I am relieved that this is all over, I will definitely miss her.
