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.

Helen has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Helen went above and beyond, providing a better than first class service. In our case the Local Authorities did not give us time to prepare and gave us documents at 7pm on a Friday night. This was no trouble for Helen who worked tirelessly over the weekend reading these documents and our statements we prepared to make sure she was ready for Monday. Court is an extremely dark and difficult time, but Helen is the safety blanket that you need. She took the stress right out of the situation. She is highly knowledgeable and efficient. You need her in your corner! If Helen if youre able to see this, my wife and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you.

Having dealt with Solicitors previously, I cannot honestly express how much Angie Brown of Emerald Law Solicitors has gone above and beyond the call of duty in order to help me in a very difficult situation.
