We understand the sensitive and emotional issues involved in this area of law. We have over 25 years' experience in this area and our Head of Team, Mrs Jasbinder Dail, is an accredited member of the Law Society’s Children Panel.
If you are involved in court proceedings, we will try to ensure that a member of our team is available to represent you at court so as to maintain continuity throughout.
Legal Aid
Legal Aid is available for care proceedings. If you are a parent or person with parental responsibility and have received a letter advising you to contact a solicitor because Social Services are considering issuing court proceedings, or you have been served with a notice of court hearing, you will be automatically eligible for Legal Aid.
If Social Services are involved but the above situations do not apply, Legal Aid may still be available. In such case we will need to assess whether you are financially eligible. In order to establish this, we will require evidence of your income and savings including your last 3 months' bank statements for all accounts.
What our clients say
“From the beginning to the end, Rowberry Morris far exceeded my expectations. At all times, the advice and help was professional and caring and I was guided through every step with complete professionalism. I would not hesitate to recommend Rowberry Morris’ services.”
“Very considerate of the situation. Would highly recommend and pleased with final outcome.”
“Words cannot express the depth of my respect and appreciation for the sound legal advice and support I have been privileged to receive from your team at Rowberry Morris.”
“Job well done and thanks for all you help. A really first class service.”
“Luke, oh wow what can I say, very professional, very understanding gentleman, so much knowledge in his job, absolute gentleman to know. The company is a company but it’s the workforce that makes the company and this gentleman is amazing. I wish him all the best in the future and I hope he goes all the way.”
“Luke went above and beyond to fulfil all solicitor duties acting on behalf of myself, but well as going above and beyond as a support network for our child arrangement case. When communication broke down between myself and the other party, Luke was quick to step in with communication to ensure contact sessions were being correctly adhered too. Luke provided a safe space where I felt comfortable enough to open up regarding domestic abuse, which I hadn’t felt comfortable doing so beforehand. He allowed me to feel heard and never minimised how I felt nor the impact it had no matter how big or small factors of it were and was able to understand how this would have had an impact on my child. Luke always acted professionally, and was able to be realistic offering me advice on best practice moving forward, providing me with enough information to make an informed decision that was right for my family. Luke ensured I had consistency with representation in hearings throughout, and even represented me himself during court when my usual barrister was unavailable, which I will always appreciate. Luke was able to articulate my position incredibly well and showed great patience at even the more stressful times. Luke always ensured I was informed in advance of the next process within family court. I can’t thank Luke enough for all the assistance he has provided my family with. I can’t recommend Luke enough, he really made the difference taking away so much stress from myself.”
