Feel Supported from Start to Finish

For most families, care proceedings represent a formal and frightening process that is hard to make sense of. That’s where we come in.

While we’re available for the average “lawyer stuff” — like representing you if your case goes to court and assisting with paperwork — one of our most important roles is giving advice and explaining things in plain English. This is true of care proceedings where this lengthy, Local Authority process can often seem unnecessarily complex. Our care proceedings solicitors put each step into context while reminding you of your rights and what actions you can legally take.

As a parent or person with parental responsibility you will be eligible for legal aid irrelevant of your financial circumstances so there will be no legal fees to pay.

We truly support our clients from start to finish with no jargon, no delays and no hidden fees.
