Specialist adoption solicitors in Devon, Somerset and Cornwall.
Slee Blackwell have been independently ranked in the top 10 solicitors in the UK by the legal review website Review Solicitors. Contact us for a free initial consultation about adoption by calling 0333 888 0404 or emailing us at [email protected].
We represent both couples and individuals who wish to adopt, including step parents. Our experienced adoption solicitors will use their expertise to guide you through the often complex legal processes involved. We can draft the court documents, liaise with local authorities and the child’s birth parents if necessary, and, of course, attend court hearings or case conferences.
We are also able to help with post-adoption issues, such as additional support needs and your child’s contact with birth relatives in cases where that is considered appropriate.
The law puts the child’s welfare above all else and we therefore ensure that this is at the forefront of our approach to ensure that your application has the best chances of succeeding.
At the outset, our adoption solicitors will give you a clear briefing on what the legal process involves, the likely timescale and the probable cost. We appreciate that legal fees in particular can often present a hurdle for those wishing to adopt and we are therefore always willing to consider flexible solutions and provide our services in the most cost-effective way. We cover the whole of Devon, Somerset and Cornwall and are happy to chat things over with you before you decide to proceed.
