Ria Cohen Family Law is widely recognised as one of the leading family law consultancies in the South West. With over 40 years of experience, I have been helping families navigate all aspects of Family Law with understanding and care. As a proud member of the Paralegal Society, I now carry the designation F.Para.Soc, a professional recognition that reflects my ongoing commitment to credibility, integrity, and trusted support. My long-standing presence in the community has built a foundation of trust and expertise that our clients rely on during life’s challenging moments.
By attentively listening, maintaining a calm presence, and exploring every available option, I’m dedicated to securing the outcome you and your family deserve. As a recognised member of the Paralegal Society (F.Para.Soc), I bring both professional credibility and a personal commitment to each case. My approach ensures I fully understand your situation, allowing me to advocate effectively for your needs and work towards the best possible resolution.
This approach allows you to fit legal consultations seamlessly into your busy schedule, without the added pressure of travel and time constraints. Additionally, for those who prefer a more personal touch, I ensure that each session is as welcoming and reassuring as if you were stepping into a peaceful, harmonious environment.
Ria will support you, through what will most likely be one of the hardest times in your life. I certainly could not have survived over the last year without her compassionate and practical advice.
With more than 40 years of expertise in all facets of Family Law, I bring a deep and comprehensive understanding to each case. As a member of the Paralegal Society (F.Para.Soc), I uphold high standards of professionalism while taking a holistic approach to every matter. Each client is treated with care, compassion, and respect, regardless of gender, background, or sexual orientation. I’m committed to offering inclusive legal support that reflects the diverse realities of modern families.
As a member of the Paralegal Society, I’m committed to upholding the professional standards expected of legal support specialists across England and Wales. The Society recognises individuals who demonstrate both practical knowledge and ethical integrity which are values I bring to every case I handle.
Holding the F.Para.Soc designation reflects a trusted, verified commitment to accessible, client-focused support. It also affirms my dedication to working within recognised frameworks that protect the rights and wellbeing of all those involved in family law matters.
Whether assisting with divorce, child arrangements, or domestic abuse support, I provide advice that is grounded in professional responsibility, empathy, and respect. Every client deserves to feel informed, supported, and understood, and being part of the Paralegal Society is one way I ensure that promise is kept.
I am proud to be a member of Resolution, a nationally recognised network of family law professionals who advocate for a non-confrontational approach to resolving family disputes.
Resolution members, including myself, are committed to a strict code of practice that prioritises constructive resolution and minimal conflict, especially in cases involving separated families and their children.
Aligned with this philosophy, I actively encourage my clients to reach mutual agreements on familial matters, particularly regarding child arrangements, before considering court action. It is profoundly beneficial for parents to collaboratively decide on these matters whenever possible.
Resorting to court is advised only as a last resort after all other options have been thoroughly explored. An amicable solution reached through collaboration not only minimises stress but also promotes a healthier long-term environment for all involved, especially the children.
