PUBLIC LAW MATTERS

At Family First Lawyers, we specialise in public law care cases, providing expert legal representation for families involved in child protection proceedings. We understand the emotional complexity and high stakes of these cases and are committed to protecting the rights and interests of both children and parents.

We offer comprehensive support throughout the entire process, from initial social services involvement to court hearings. Our solicitors work diligently to ensure that local authorities follow proper procedures and that our clients' voices are heard.

In care proceedings, we advocate strongly for family reunification where appropriate and safe. We also assist in exploring alternatives to care, such as placement with family members or friends. Our team is skilled in challenging expert evidence and presenting compelling arguments to the court.

For cases involving children already in care, we provide guidance on contact arrangements and support parents in working towards the return of their children. We also assist in appeals against care orders when grounds exist.

At Family First Lawyers, we accept both private and legal aid cases, ensuring that expert legal assistance is accessible to all families facing public law proceedings. Our firm is dedicated to providing sensitive, professional, and effective legal representation to achieve the best possible outcomes for your family.
