The Local Authority will intervene if they have reason to believe that a child has suffered or is at risk of suffering harm as a result of the care they are being given. It is important that you seek legal advice if the Local Authority have concerns about your ability to care for your child. This is to ensure you fully understand the situation and its consequences, whilst ensuring your child's best interests are of the utmost priority.
Unfortunately, it's a fact of life that not all relationships or marriages are successful. If such relationships fail, there are many practical issues to consider such as the impact divorce or separation will have on children, the provision of housing and finances.

Our Family Law solicitors know that the breakdown of a marriage or a relationship is one of the most upsetting and emotional events in a person's life and are on hand to ensure that you receive sensible and practical legal advice to help you through this difficult time.
Relationship breakdowns can lead to disputes over property and finances. If this happens, then you will likely need advice on how your assets should be dealt with and how best your needs and the needs of your children can be met. The options available to help you reach settlement e.g. through negotiation, mediation, the Collaborative process or Court.

After a recent visit to Richard Reed I was pleasantly greeted by the receptionist who guided me to the waiting area which was very clean and well presented. After a very professional consultation I was more than happy with the level of service I had received. I have used Richard Reed for many years for Private work and Commercial business. Of which they have never let me down and always shown a true Professional service.
So I would highly recommend Richard Reed if you require true professionalism from start to finish.

Critical: Responsiveness
I have been waiting for a free hold case to be addressed for 6 months. When I send an email I always get an out of office, phone is always engaged. I work overseas so it’s not possible to just go to the office. Not a good service at all, I am not even able to contact them to tell them to just forget it

First time in twenty years selling and buying a property and its safe to say I was absolutely clueless. I selected Richard Reed based on a recommendation from my estate agent and what a fantastic recommendation it was.
Nicola, Joanne and Abbey were brilliant, they kept me updated throughout the process and were really patient with all of my questions. The solicitors at the top and bottom of our chain were terrible, I was so pleased I made the right decision. I would most definitely recommend.

I cannot Praise Abbey.tyrrell Scott enough for how she handled a very frustrating house purchase. She was very amenable and kept me informed every step of the way on what was happening. I would definitely recommend and use Richard Reed Solicitors based on my experience with Abbey!
One happy Client
