Dealing with social services can be a very stressful experience, especially when your local authority starts to ask questions about your family life or initiates legal action. Whether you are facing or need advice on domestic abuse, having the right legal support will make a big difference to the outcome of your case and your family's experience of these proceedings.
At Switalskis, our Sheffield team of family and children’s law solicitors understands the pressure you are under. We know that the safety and happiness of the children involved are your main priorities, and should be the primary consideration for the family court. Our child care experts are here to provide straightforward advice and legal support during this difficult time. When a local authority pursues a court order to protect a child, we can represent the child's parents, attend court on their behalf and work towards an outcome that is in the best interests of the children involved.
Our specialist team has the expertise to guide you through every stage of your case, and we work with parents, children, and other family members across South Yorkshire to deliver positive resolutions. If you need help today, you can call us on 0800 1380 458 or contact us through our website .

Our Sheffield office is situated in Paradise Square, in a peaceful location 15 minutes’ walk from Sheffield train station and close to all central bus routes.

Switalskis provides expert legal advice for all matters involving children law and child care proceedings. We have a dedicated team of family law solicitors who specialise in cases where social services are involved, many of whom are members of the Law Society Children Panel . This means they are recognised experts in representing parents and children in Children’s Act proceedings.
We prioritise supportive communication and will always work towards the best outcome possible. We can help you if the local authority has started the public law outline process by attending pre-proceedings meetings with you to discuss the concerns raised by social workers. We can advise you on making changes and working to meet the local authority’s requirements, or represent you if the case goes to court.
We also offer advice on child arrangements and special guardianship orders. Our aim is to provide clarity in these complex situations and enable you to make decisions with confidence. In many cases you will qualify for legal aid that can cover the costs of legal advice and provide support from our expert team without needing to worry about financial matters. Switalskis can advise you on legal aid eligibility and apply on your behalf.
Absolutely fantastic company. Been using them on my specific case for just a good few months. Gone above and beyond in ensuring I got what I needed from court. Special thank you to Ruth Coneron, her secretary Lesley Spooner who both went above and beyond to ensure I was ready for court. Got the outcome I wanted and its thanks to Switalskis solicitors. Again thank you very much
