The Best Family
Lawyers In Perth

HICKMAN FAMILY LAWYERS

I’m Ella Hickman, owner and Principal of Hickman Family Lawyers (formerly Cobalt Legal), one of the leading family law firms in Perth.

I practice almost exclusively in family law in Perth and have a particular interest in parenting and children’s issues, matters arising from domestic violence in relationships, and property settlement cases where people want to take a commercial approach (based on the size of the asset pool).

I’ve also represented countless clients – both applicants and respondents – across all of these areas in the Family Court of Western Australia, and in restraining order matters in the Magistrates Court.

I’m results-oriented and will encourage my clients to explore a resolution of their matter through mediation rather than going through the Family Courts.

But if you need your day in court, I’ll be right there with you.

Sometimes, a family matter can’t be resolved by agreement. And that’s where my extensive experience in representing clients in the Family Court of Western Australia comes in handy. My team of family law lawyers and I lead our clients through the whole process, from the commencement of proceedings all the way to trial.

I’d also like you to know that our team of Perth family law lawyers represent both Legal Aid and private clients.

We don’t discriminate. Everyone is entitled to a happy and safe existence, no matter their background. We have a team of highly qualified family and divorce lawyers who are on the Legal Aid panel, and who accept Legal Aid funding for eligible clients.

Beacon Family Lawyers consider that all family law matters should be resolved in a reasonable time and cost whether by agreement or, as a last resort, by commencing court proceedings.

“In establishing the firm I wanted to create a law firm that mixed old fashioned law firm values of client loyalty and service with modern family law practices and procedures. I wanted to build relationships with clients. That is the reason we receive significant work by word of mouth.”

Sometimes complex commercial, accounting or other issues can stop parties reaching an amicable agreement, in which case, Beacon Family Law has close ties with other professionals who can provide expert advice and guidance to assist to resolve these issues.

Beacon Family Law is proud to be a small firm. The number of active files is strictly limited to maintain quality control. All files are conducted either directly or indirectly under the personal supervision of the director of the firm from beginning to end.
