Law firms ranked by client reviews

This area covers how a stepparent can become legally involved in a child’s upbringing, including step-parent adoption, securing parental responsibility, and resolving questions about contact and care when the natural parent remains in the picture. A solicitor helps with applications for parental responsibility, drafting orders, and negotiating arrangements that protect the child’s welfare while clarifying each adult’s roles. It can shape long‑term parenting decisions and a child’s future stability.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The key decisions include appointing or confirming parental responsibility, arranging contact orders, and the potential for step‑parent adoption. A solicitor coordinates evidence for the court, liaises with the local authority when necessary, and guides the case through the family court process, ensuring that orders reflect the child’s best interests and legal rights are respected.

Giles Dobson

Tagged solicitor Giles Dobson

I would like to express my deepest appreciation towards Martin Tolhurst and more specifically towards Mr. Dobson and all his administrative and legal associates who worked on my case. My case was about the relocation of my child away from the U.K.. It was extremely confrontational to the degree of utter polarisation – at times probing the limits of civility. However, Giles managed the case impeccably and thanks to his services I can know look forward into the future with the ‘glass half-full instead of half-empty’. I would like to draw attention specifically to his exemplary customer-calibrated ethos. When the time came and we had to make a choice, while he could easily keep ‘churning out’ legal costs, he leant on me more as a friend and less as a legal counsellor with the aim to bring about closure – which we did. I, along with my daughter, ‘owe’ him.

Having had a poor experience with my previous solicitors, Nicola Starbuck was a breath of fresh air. Very professional but easy to understand with a straight forward approach.

Tia Harrison

Tagged solicitor Tia Harrison

Tia recently assisted me with a particularly complicated and onerous legal situation. Time was of the essence, Tia's approach was professional, pragmatic and robust, always prompt and absolutely reliable with regard responding to myself and other parties involved. As previously stated we had little time however Tia's knowledge and expertise became very evident very quickly. The case was successful and I have no doubt that this was due not only to Tia's experience and capabilities but also down to her sincere approach, ability to listen and take the time to understand. I would engage again without a moment's hesitation and I cannot recommend to others more highly.

Vanessa Gillbanks

Tagged solicitor Vanessa Gillbanks

I found Vanessa Gillbanks extremely helpful and informative, using language that was easy to understand at a time that was very stressful to me. I would readily recommend this company. The charges were advised to me before I started any proceedings which of course was preferable as I was able to budget for these. I am completely happy to go back to Richard Nelson LLP for any future needs.

Claire Porter

Tagged solicitor Claire Porter

Claire Porter at Chester office was absolutely brilliant when acting for me during my divorce. Her professionalism and care was exemplary. I would definitely recommend Claire. I'd also like to say the same of Sara Williams who worked for me dealing with the purchase of my new home. If anyone is looking for the best service please try SAS Daniels.

I would wholly recommend Aldridge Brownlee for legal affairs. They provided an excellent service and treated my elderly mum with courtesy and respect whilst she gave over power of attorney which she found confusing at times. Clare was patient, understanding and kind. Sally Curtis

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.
