Helping you put your children first

Making sure separation affects children as little as possible is difficult. We appreciate there can be complex issues involved and emotions are often charged. Ensuring the right outcome for your children can be challenging and we will support you through this.

We're here to help you.

In a perfect world, decisions relating to where children live and the contact they have with each parent can be reached amicably. In reality this is not always the case. We can support you through the process and make sure the children's well-being is at the forefront.

For Richard Perrins, Partner Coles Miller, Head of Family Department:

"I would not hesitate in recommending Richard Perrins to someone. He was professional and helpful. But, the absolute best quality he showed me was empathy. I felt that Richard was helping me 100% of the time. He also reassured me on several occasions when the other side sent unpleasant letters. I am glad it is all over but heartily thank Richard for all his help."

For Lindsey Arnold, Associate Senior Chartered Legal Executive:

“Recently as a family we went through a traumatic period. I was fortunate enough to secure the services of Lindsey Arnold. Her knowledge, dedication to duty and sheer professionalism were second to none. She could not have done more for us every step of the way. I would have no hesitation in recommending Coles Miller.”

For Anna Burton, Solicitor:

“When I was faced with the legal issue involving my children, I was at first frustrated and confused as what I needed to do and where I needed to turn. A family member recommended Coles Miller, so I followed that recommendation up. It was, by far, the best decision I made. I met with Anna Burton to discuss the matter and where I stood on the issue. I felt at ease discussing my stance and was dealt in a calm, reassuring and professional manner. All the way through this stressful and anxious matter, Anna, Molly and everyone else from Coles Miller that I had dealings with, were fantastic. They were never to busy to help and advise through this process and I can't thank them enough. If there are any fathers reading this that want help and support when it comes to legal matters involving their children, look no further than Coles Miller. Thank you so much Anna for all your help through one of the most stressful times in my life, I really appreciate it.”
