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.

Sara Rutter

Tagged solicitor Sara Rutter

When I met Sara Rutter, I was in a complete mess with my divorce. Sara listened to everything my children and I had been through, talked me through the process and has been there for us every step of the way. My circumstances have not been the easiest and yet, Sara has acted professionally throughout and has achieved a positive outcome for my boys and I. I honestly can’t thank her enough. I would recommend Sara Rutter to anyone.

Connor Williams

Tagged solicitor Connor Williams

Mr Williams was consulted after my husband and I suffered repeated accusations against us, and an unauthorised alteration in a court agreement granting us scheduled time to spend with our grandchildren, carried out by their mother. We engaged Mr Williams to write to the mother’s solicitor after discussing our options and receiving his advice. We were very pleased with his council throughout and were sorry that we were not in a position to continue with his support at this time.

Christopher Wall

I used Christopher to assist with completing my financial consent order and finalising my divorce. Communication was clear, accurate and very prompt. Christopher and his team have a wealth of knowledge and dealt with every part of the process for me with no issues I would not hesitate to recommend Paul Robinson in the future. Thankyou for you professional assistance.

Maria Pilavaki

Tagged solicitor Maria Pilavaki

I am an ex-lawyer and FTSE250 CFO so have come across many lawyers in the past 30 years. Put simply, Maria is one of the best I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Family Law is an incredibly emotive area of the law and Maria's counsel and support got me through a very difficult time. Her advice was always clear and direct (even firm at times), always delivered with authority and compassion. I simply cannot recommend her highly enough.

Working with Heather was a very easy process and made a difficult life situation much more manageable over the many months that it extended. Heather listened carefully and made useful observations and very clear suggestions on the way to proceed.
