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.

Gillian Mitchell

Tagged solicitor Gillian Mitchell

Professional, good communication and knowledge. Not frightened to have difficult conversations but at same time listening to my needs. Met my expectations, she was professional but showed empathy at difficult times but stayed focused on resolutions and communicating clearly and in a timely manner.

Richard Wilkes

Tagged solicitor Richard Wilkes

I approached Richard with my LPA suggestions that were personal and comprehensive. His advice was very accurate and knowledgeable and suggested my views although accurate, were over-complicated. Hence he advised more straightforward wording that for Public Guardian approval on first submission.

Catriona Smedley

Tagged solicitor Catriona Smedley

Catriona was a delight to have as a solicitor, she was compassionate towards my feelings regarding my situation and also maintain professional during this. She set realistic expectations and didn’t fill my with false outcomes and set the tone to a good basis. She was there for me when I needed to vent and air things out and advised me right during situations even when I was difficult at times. She worked hard to fight my corner even when things didn’t work the way I wanted them to due to my own behaviour and actions. I will 100% be contacting cat in the future to work with me again when the time is right. I’m grateful for all of her work and thank her for her efforts!

Anita Dosanjh

Tagged solicitor Anita Dosanjh

Anita has supported me through a very long 18 months. She has consistently remained professional, even during very difficult times. Nothing has been too much trouble, from numerous emails and phone calls, often on a daily basis. She has been an all round fantastic representative. Hopefully I never need to use these services again but if I do, I would definitely return to Anita at PCB. Thank you!

Excellent from start to finish. I instructed this firm to handle my divorce. Despite things being initially acrimonious with my wife, Shelley De’Worringham, quickly got a grip of the pertinent issues and guided me through the process quickly and efficiently, keeping me informed every step of the way. Although firm in her approach, Shelley was able to neutralise the high emotions in my case and negotiate with the other side - achieving a result that we were both happy with. Whilst divorce is never easy, Shelley and her team worked incredibly hard to make the process easier and alleviate my stress. I shall be eternally grateful to this firm, particularly Shelley and her team for helping me.
