Family

Whether you are embarking on a new relationship, ending a relationship, dividing property or finances or have issues about children, Coodes' experienced Family Department is able to offer sound advice and appropriate action.

Headed by Elise Alma at St Austell, the department's team all work under the guidelines of Resolution (formerly the solicitors Family Law Association), ensuring a non-confrontational and sympathetic approach for the benefit of your family.

We are able to offer legal aid funded work and free diagnostic interviews at all seven offices, so you will receive the same level of professional advice and assistance regardless of your financial circumstances.
