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.

Ian Spender

Tagged solicitor Ian Spender

Mr Spender came to our home, as my husband and I found great difficulty in climbing the stairs to his office. He took great trouble in explaining the Lasting Power of Attorney to us. I was able to read the forms, but my husband, who has Macular Degeneration could not. Mr Spender spent time and effort in reading the forms to him. In fact, nothing was too much trouble for Mr Spender, who put us both at ease. I highly recommend Mr Spender for his professionalism and his genuine concern for our welfare.

Melanie Bridgen

Tagged solicitor Melanie Bridgen

I contacted Melanie Bridgen from Nelsons Solicitors in Derby for advice in child arrangement. Her knowledge was more than I could ask for. She helped me through every concern I had and with her colleague Melanie Theakstone put together my wishes, contacted my ex, made sure that everything I legally wanted it was written down as clear for the court application as possible. They followed my case through CAFCASS and the final court order. Mrs. Bridgen had straight questions, and answers to everything. They took the process of my shoulder, and in 2 months I have received the final order from court (with Christmas included). I cannot be more thankful for their job and knowledge.
