At Meikles, we have specialist solicitors who are members of the Law Society’s Children Law Accreditation Scheme. We can provide practical and expert advice regarding any issues arising with the Local Authority.
Because we have specialist solicitors, we can also represent the children themselves in court proceedings.
Meikles has a contract with the Legal Aid Agency which allows us to provide free legal representation to parents and others with parental responsibility for children. We also routinely act for Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles and other extended family members who require legal help.
