Having involvement with Social Services or having care proceedings issued against you is a frightening experience for any parent.

 
 

Specialist Legal Advice for Care Proceedings and Social Services Involvement…

Many parents feel overwhelmed and uncertain when facing child protection concerns or involvement from Social Services — especially when there is a risk that their child may be taken into care. If this happens, it's crucial to get specialist legal advice as soon as possible to ensure your rights and your child's best interests are protected.

At Patrick Lawrence Partnership, we are experts in this area of law. Many of our experienced family solicitors are accredited members of the Law Society’s Family Law Panel, giving you the confidence that your case is in safe hands.

If you have been contacted by Social Services about care proceedings, do not delay — contact us immediately. All cases concerning care proceedings are eligible for Legal Aid, meaning you won't have to pay for your initial appointment or legal representation.

We understand the urgency of these cases and offer emergency appointments for parents facing care proceedings or other urgent child protection issues.

We can offer emergency appointments for care cases.
