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.

Beth Sheridan

Tagged solicitor Beth Sheridan

I already knew Beth professionally before I decided to use her services myself. This can change the way you relate to someone but I needn't have worried as Beth was the consummate professional, combining clear and direct guidance with a friendly and personable service. I don't think anyone wins in a divorce but it is good to have clear expectations and Beth provided this. She never over-promised or under-delivered and that is rare today.

Tagged solicitor Alicia Nesham

Excellent and professional service. Mrs Alicia Nesham helped us with our LP of Attorney explaining all aspects in a clear, understandable and personable way. Also contacted our previous solicitors and went beyond what could have been expected without being asked, very impressed with the service given.

Brian Fraser

Tagged solicitor Brian Fraser

After 18 months of torture following a horrible separation and floundering around with a number of awful lawyers clearly only interested in getting paid I stumbled across Brian at Elite Law. As with most lawyers I got the one hour free intro phone call but I knew I was on the right track when the hour was well and truly over but he still called me back to finish the story and I genuinely felt that he heard me and understood what I was going through. In the following days he came back to me with a plan and reassured me that he knew what to do and this turned out to be true. Over the following months he continued to reassure me that my position was solid and explained the law and his plan for what to do. He communicated well despite probably having many other clients and the advice he gave me turned out to be exactly the right thing to do which ended with a far more positive result than I had reconciled myself with when we first spoke. I would never have thought to do what we did but it got me the right result and I am forever grateful. Brian was part therapist at the beginning and part friend at the end and it was worth every penny.

Andrew Foulds

Tagged solicitor Andrew Foulds

I came to Andrew after spending years in family court with another firm, trying to relocate to another country. We had been going round in circles with no progress. As a last resort, I contacted Andrew Foulds and within just a few months of him dealing with the situation, everything was finally resolved. We’re now happily living abroad. I really appreciate Andrew’s straight-talking approach and the way he gets things done.
