In their own words.
Apinya Naruenat
Bangkok · May 2025
"I came in for the consultation not knowing what to expect. The adviser I spoke with listened for a long time before saying anything, and when she did speak, it was in a way I could actually follow. I left feeling clearer, not more anxious. That alone was worth the appointment."
James Thornton
Expat, Bangkok · April 2025
"As a British national trying to understand Thai family law, I was worried I would get a rushed explanation I would not fully understand. The opposite was true. Nattawut walked me through the entire picture, gave me time to ask questions, and was honest about what was genuinely unclear in my situation. I appreciated that honesty."
Wandee Chitprasong
Yan Nawa · May 2025
"The mediation process took a few weeks longer than I initially hoped, but looking back, the time was necessary. We ended up with an arrangement that both parties could live with, and our children have not been caught in the middle of ongoing conflict. The drafting was thorough — no loose ends."
Siriphat Rakprasong
Sathorn, Bangkok · March 2025
"For a formal proceeding that I was genuinely anxious about, knowing that Siriporn had prepared every document carefully in advance made a real difference. She explained what each filing meant before submitting it. I was never left wondering what had happened or what was coming next."
Mika Koskinen
Finnish national, Bangkok · April 2025
"I had been putting off dealing with a family matter for over a year because I did not know where to start. The consultation helped me see that the situation was not as complicated as I had feared, and it gave me a realistic picture of what might happen. The fee was clear and the session was worth considerably more than it cost."
Pornpan Wattanasiri
On Nut, Bangkok · May 2025
"What I valued most was being told the truth about how things might go, including the parts that were not straightforward. I had spoken to another firm before and felt like I was being steered toward a course of action. Here, I was given information and left to decide. That felt respectful."
Case Studies
Three situations, and how they resolved.
Details have been generalised and no identifying information is included. Each account is shared with the knowledge of the individual concerned.
The situation
An expatriate father in Bangkok was uncertain whether his residency situation affected his parental rights under Thai law. He had been avoiding seeking advice because he feared the answer.
What happened
A consultation clarified his legal position, which was more stable than he had assumed. The adviser outlined two possible paths and explained the practical implications of each. No formal steps were needed immediately.
The outcome
The client was able to re-engage with the situation from an informed place rather than an anxious one. He returned three months later to proceed with a mediation arrangement.
"I had been dreading making an appointment for months. Knowing what I actually faced was a relief in itself."
The situation
A Thai couple sought help reaching a financial and custody arrangement they could both accept, without the matter becoming adversarial. Both parties wanted to avoid a formal court process if possible.
What happened
Four mediation sessions over six weeks led to a detailed written agreement covering financial arrangements and a shared parenting schedule. Both parties reviewed the draft carefully before signing.
The outcome
The agreement has been in place for over a year without dispute. Both parties have noted that the cooperative process meant their children adjusted more smoothly than expected.
"We left with a document that both of us helped shape. That made it easier to keep to."
The situation
A client needed full formal proceedings for a sensitive family matter involving asset division and parental rights. The other party was not cooperative, and the matter required formal representation.
What happened
Over three months, the team prepared all documentation, handled all submissions, and represented the client throughout formal hearings. The client received a written summary before every significant step.
The outcome
A settled outcome was reached within the agreed scope. The client described the process as difficult but manageable, in part because expectations were realistic and the team was reachable throughout.
"Nothing came as a surprise. That is what I needed most."
