Solicitor for PLO Lewisham
Notifications OFF
Is anyone able to recommend a solicitor with experience in dealing with Lewisham social services (PLO or care proceedings)? I need one urgently for a meeting on 31 March.
My partner (the offender) and I have been called to a pre-proceedings meeting following a decision by social services to escalate to PLO with absolutely no advance warning. Our children have been on a CP plan for 4 months and all professionals testify they're well, no concern has been raised with me regarding my parenting or safeguarding ability, and I have collaborated fully with SS from the start. They seem to be saying that because I'm still willing to supervise contact, I must not understand the risks, which is completely untrue. The pre-proceedings letter is full of inaccuracies and omissions.
I urgently need someone who can represent me at a PLO meeting, correct the errors and demonstrate my children are perfectly safe and well with me.
Does anyone have experience of a similar situation. Can you recommend a solicitor in Lewisham/SE London? I would be extremely grateful for the help.
Best,
OOTB

I'm not from that area but at PLO level any solicitors who deal with children/family law should be able to help
