We can help with:

Legal proceedings about the welfare of children can be complex and sensitive. Emotion often clouds judgment. We have the expertise to guide you through these difficulties.

Straw and Pearce has one of the most experienced and highly regarded child care teams in the Midlands. We regularly act not only for children and parents but also for Children's Guardians and Local Authorities in the Magistrates' Court, County Court and High Court and Court of Appeal.

Our lawyers have been members of the specialist Children Panel since its inception. If you have problems about residence or contact, if there are concerns about the welfare of children, if social services are involved, we can provide the best available advice and representation. We are also one of the few firms locally who can provide specialist advice and representation in cases where children have been abducted and taken abroad.
