Care Proceedings

Our highly regarded care department work hard to advise and provide representation when Social Services have become involved in family life.  We also provide advice and representation in relation to matters regarding special guardianship and adoption.

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.
