Top 10 of 207 law firms for Infanticide, Mental Health Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Infanticide in England covers a specific historic and defence-based area within criminal and mental health law, where a mother who has killed her infant may rely on a special “infanticide” defence under the Infanticide Act 1938, typically linked to postpartum mental disturbance. A solicitor practising in this area advises on the availability and scope of the defence, opportunities to challenge Crown evidence, and engagement with psychiatric or forensic mental health assessments. They may also assist with disclosures, court representations, and possible orders or conditions arising from mental health proceedings affecting the case.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The key risk is criminal conviction with serious consequences, including imprisonment and ongoing supervision. The solicitor explains how the infanticide defence operates, coordinates with psychiatric experts, and navigates any hospital, forensic, or discretionary orders that impact liberty and future status; they also handle timelines, appeals, and potential special treatment in the Court of Session or Crown Court as appropriate.

Clare James

Tagged solicitor Clare James

Clare has been a very understanding solicitor. She listened and was able to relay my words and thoughts to the courts. She has been very supportive and I felt in safe hands. My case was not typical and was based on mental health. Clare absolutely understood this and was able to adapt accordingly rather than run her own narrative. I did not get to choose Clare, as she was a duty solicitor. But I feel very lucky and very blessed to have had her represent me.
