What Sets Our Counsel Apart

Family law is not a transaction. The way counsel is delivered matters as much as what is delivered. Here is what we offer that most practices do not.

Core Advantages

Six reasons clients find Pattaya Family to be the right choice for family matters in Thailand.

Family Law Only

Our practice covers no other area of law. That focus means every aspect of our work — from advice to documentation — is shaped by family law knowledge rather than generalist habit.

Genuine Discretion

Confidentiality is not a feature — it is a fundamental condition of how we work. Client information is held securely and never disclosed without explicit consent.

English Throughout

Consultations, written summaries, and all correspondence are in English. Clients are never asked to decipher translated documents or to navigate proceedings without a clear understanding of each step.

Written Record at Every Stage

After each meeting, you receive a written summary. After each agreed step, written confirmation. Nothing proceeds on the basis of a verbal understanding alone.

Transparent, Fixed Fees

Each service has a stated fee. That fee is confirmed before any work begins. There are no hourly rates that accumulate without warning and no charges applied without your prior knowledge.

Your Pace, Your Decision

We do not apply pressure to proceed, escalate, or commit. At each stage, the decision is yours. Our role is to provide the information you need to make it well.

In More Detail

Expertise in Thai Family Law

Thai family law has its own statutes, registration requirements, and court procedures. Counsel who also practice commercial law, property law, or criminal defence often approach family matters as one of many practice areas. We do not. Our knowledge of the Civil and Commercial Code provisions governing marriage, property between spouses, parental authority, and dissolution proceedings is current and specific, and we apply it every working day.

A Measured, Structured Process

Family matters are rarely straightforward, and proceedings that appear simple at the outset can develop unexpected complexity. Our approach is to map each matter carefully before committing to any course of action, to explain what is involved at each step before it happens, and to confirm in writing what has taken place. Clients are never left uncertain about what has been agreed, what is happening, or what comes next.

A Service Shaped Around the Individual

Family law matters are personal in a way that commercial disputes rarely are. We design our service around that reality. First consultations are conversations, not structured intake processes. Follow-up is responsive. Where a client needs more time to reach a decision, we allow for that without pressure. Where a matter involves particular sensitivity — children, domestic circumstances, or the complexity of living across two legal systems — we proceed with appropriate care.

Clear Value at Each Stage

A first consultation costs ฿2,500 and produces a written summary and a considered view of your position. That is a self-contained service with tangible output. If you proceed to dissolution counsel or settlement negotiation, those services are priced at ฿5,200 and ฿8,100 respectively — stated in advance, agreed in writing, with no additions applied without your consent. Many clients find that the first consultation alone provides the clarity they need.

What Only We Offer

Written Summary After Every Consultation

A written record of what was discussed, what options were identified, and what our considered view is. Provided at the close of every appointment — at no additional cost.

Thai Law with International Awareness

Where matters touch on the laws of another country — because a marriage was registered abroad, or assets are held internationally — we work with the complexity rather than around it.

Pattaya-Based, Accessible to Local Clients

Specialist family law counsel in Pattaya City — not a Bangkok firm with a satellite presence. Our clients meet us here, in an office that feels private and unhurried.

Thoughtful Engagement with the Other Party

Where appropriate, we encourage and facilitate thoughtful communication with the other party — particularly where children are involved. An agreed outcome is usually better for everyone than a contested one.
