Could anyone recommend a good family solicitor?

My 3 month old son's father said his solicitor will be sending me a letter and I want to try and research to get a good solicitor (rather than leaving it to luck) sorted out early..

He threatened me at the beginning that if I did not give him exactly as he wanted he would take me to court and that he gets legal aid and that I would not. Ive given him fantastic access so far - every day available if he wants it (except for 2 separate days when I went to visit family and he was angry he couldnt come)..

He was very nice, all other times and was visiting very often but for 10 mins to 30 mins.. I asked if he could come less often but for longer, he said he would - but then just started staying longer when he did come..

He then raised a load of issues (such as the baby should not sleep in the front room where there is noise in the day - he should be in a quiet room).. and caused a HUGE argument - his solution was to have the baby unsupervised away from my home. Which solves NONE of his issues..

now I am to wait to hear from his solicitor..

There is a whole load of background info but I dont want to bore anyone and just get to the point.. As its an important one!

I may be able to get legal aid - I am not too sure - but I would really like to hear from someone that has had a good solicitor that would accept legal aid...

Thank you all so much in advance!

Thanks everyone..

I went to CAB and got some advice - which was to take the power, and not to be threatened as the law is on my side. Also - it turned out his letter from the solicitor was actually a bluff.. He went to see a solicitor and I actually think they told him that he wont get legal aid as I am giving him good access..

Anyway, I plan to keep a journal of things that happen as I dont know what the future holds. Many thanks to you all for your advice!
