Top 10 of 4,159 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.

Tagged solicitor Imogen Peddle

I have had such a positive outcome. My solicitor respected everything I wanted in the family law case and guided me throughout the whole process. Emails and calls were answered within 24 hours. Kept very professional throughout. Everything was explained clearly, I was informed of everything step by step. I would highly recommend to anyone that is going through family court matters.

Rachael Scowcroft

Tagged solicitor Rachael Scowcroft

Rachel was amazing during my divorce, which involved an out-of-court settlement and financial separation. I had no idea how to handle any of it, but she explained everything clearly and made sure I was fully protected. She was always available when I needed support and made a stressful situation much easier to deal with. Very supportive, informative, and professional. Highly recommend
