Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Social Services, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

In England, Social Services work covers safeguarding and welfare cases involving children and adults within local authority care services. A solicitor handles care proceedings, assessments, and safeguarding actions, including applications for interim orders, supervision, or discharge of care orders, and advocacy in related court hearings. They also advise on welfare matters, housing, and support plans, coordinating with local authorities, health bodies, and guardians to protect vulnerable people and secure appropriate care and support arrangements.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

Solicitors bring professional accountability to safeguarding: they rely on regulated practice, professional conduct standards, and, when needed, representation in court. They ensure compliance with the Children Act 1989, safeguarding duties, and relevant guidance, while navigating professional standards, registered social care processes, and the protections afforded by client accounts and dispute resolution frameworks.

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.

Cassandra Spenceley

Tagged solicitor Cassandra Spenceley

Excellent service from the initial call throughout. Cassie made me feel at ease and was always there at the end of the phone to offer reassurance and support. I couldn’t thank her enough for everything she has done for me and my family. I didn’t know where to start and Cassie made the whole process more manageable. Big thank you to Shelly who was also great and kept me up to date and was always one step ahead. Absolutely fantastic service at one of the most difficult times of my life …

Mark Williams

Tagged solicitor Mark Williams

During our absolutely horrendous experience, where our children where mistakenly deemed to be in need of protection, Mark was our absolute champion, contacting the authorities and making sure we were updated at all times. I couldn't recommend him more.

Forbes Solicitors or more importantly Elizabeth Ashcroft assisted me with legal advice in a social services situation. After months of reviews & evaluations of everything that’s been worked on. It’s finally blown over. If it wasn’t for Elizabeth I’d still be in the same spot.

Alexandra Goldrein

Tagged solicitor Alexandra Goldrein

I came to Slater Heelies after a disaster with previous solicitor. Alex from the onset was friendly, reassuring, professional but firm. Many times she had to challenge my perspectives and encouraged strength. Alex had an objective approach and was always quick and prompt in replying to emails and calls. Her in depth knowledge was reassuring and was able to relay in a succinct manner that was easy to digest. I felt with Alex’s friendly manner that she always had my best interests at the heart and was extremely reassuring during the whole process which was really appreciated. I would have no hesitation in using her again… but at the same time hope that there would never be a need. Thank you

Ella Bone

Tagged solicitor Ella Bone

I have visited Ward Gethin Archer in May this year and received an incredible service. All staff was welcoming and friendly and treated my matter urgently and with such care. Ella is very knowledgeable and professional and she found a solution to my problem in an instant. We have been rejected by passport office as the names on the document didn't fully match and the matter was dealt with for over 2 months. After listening to my problem with such a great understanding and reassurance, Ella prepared a document which helped me to resolve the issue within a week. I am so incredibly grateful for her support and help, not mentioning the fact she had also double checked if the passport office accepted the document and only then was happy to finalise the matter. Ella is such an assett to your team and Sharon ( her PA) is also absolutely brilliant! I will definitely be recommending her services. Thank you so so much.
