Six Reasons Clients Choose Us
These are not marketing claims. They are practical realities that shape how we work with every family that comes to us.
Focused Expertise
We work exclusively in family law — not as a minor department within a general practice. This focus means deeper knowledge in the areas that matter most to our clients.
Fixed, Clear Pricing
Every service has a stated fee. Clients know what they are paying before any work begins. There are no vague hourly estimates or hidden charges at the end of a matter.
Rooted in Hat Yai
We have worked within Songkhla's courts and local institutions for years. This means fewer delays, appropriate expectations, and relationships that benefit our clients.
Personal Handling
Clients are not passed between staff members or handled by junior lawyers without supervision. The same person who takes your initial consultation is involved throughout your case.
Complete Privacy
Family matters are sensitive. We hold all client information with care, and our office environment is designed so that conversations cannot be overheard or observed.
No Pressure, Ever
We never push clients toward decisions. A consultation is an opportunity to understand your situation — not a sales appointment. You leave with information, not obligations.
Professional Expertise in Thai Family Law
Our lawyers have trained specifically in Thai civil and family law and maintain their knowledge through regular professional development. Working in a single legal domain means we encounter the same situations repeatedly — and have developed sound judgement about what approaches work and why.
- Licensed with the Lawyers Council of Thailand
- Specialised in Civil and Commercial Code family provisions
- Experience with Songkhla district offices and family courts
- Working knowledge of cross-border and international situations
A Straightforward Process from Start to Finish
Legal processes in family matters can feel difficult to follow. We address this by walking clients through each stage before it happens — so nothing comes as a surprise. Our documentation is well-organised and our timelines are honest.
- Clear timeline given at the start of each matter
- Written summaries after each key stage
- No step taken without client understanding and agreement
- Regular updates so clients are never left wondering
Service with Genuine Care
We know that people come to us during times that are often stressful, and sometimes painful. Our approach is deliberately calm and unhurried. We give clients time to think, space to ask questions, and honest answers — not reassuring generalisations.
- Same-week initial appointments in most cases
- Telephone support between appointments
- Office environment designed for privacy and comfort
Value That Is Easy to Understand
Our fees are fixed for each service. Divorce & Separation Counsel starts at ฿5,500 THB, Family Mediation at ฿1,950 THB, and Adoption & Guardianship Support at ฿4,100 THB. Any additional steps — such as court appearances — are quoted separately and agreed in writing before proceeding.
- No hidden charges or surprise invoices
- Fees discussed and agreed before work begins
- Payment plans available on request

What Sets Us Apart
Distinctive Features of Our Practice
Thai and English Service
We handle all matters in Thai and English, making our services accessible to international clients and mixed-nationality families living in or connected to southern Thailand.
Written Client Summaries
After each appointment, clients receive a brief written note of what was discussed and what the next steps are. These cost nothing extra and remove the burden of having to remember complex information from memory.
Mediation-First Approach
Where appropriate, we explore whether mediation might achieve a better outcome than litigation. This is not always the right path — but we discuss it genuinely rather than defaulting to court proceedings.
Child-Centred Guidance
In all matters involving children, we give particular attention to their wellbeing and long-term interests. Thai family law places significant weight on this, and so do we.
