About Ria Cohen Family Law

Your advocate and ally in legal matters.

I do more than dispense legal advice; I stand by you in challenging times, helping you maintain your self respect and peace of mind. As a professional member of the Paralegal Society (F.Para.Soc), I bring extensive knowledge, experience, and tact to every case.

While I am not a solicitor and do not provide legal representation, I offer clear, practical guidance to help you understand your options and decide what feels right for you. I’m committed to supporting you through each step, for as long as you need.

Trustworthy advice at a price you can afford

Considered as being one of the leading Family Law consultants in the South West, I believe that you should be in control of your case, and your fees. Hiring a solicitor is traditionally very expensive and clients often face spiralling costs that they have no control over. This can often put people off seeking legal advice altogether.

Trusted Support for Sensitive Situations

As a certified member of the Paralegal Society (F.Para.Soc), I’m proud to also be one of the few practitioners in the region with a specialist diploma in supporting male victims of domestic abuse. It’s more common than many people realise. My hope is that this recognition encourages more men to come forward, without fear, without judgement, and without shame.

Keeping Children at the Heart of Every Case

As part of my wider work supporting families, I’ve completed a Level 3 Diploma in Child Psychology. This has given me a deeper understanding of how children experience separation, conflict, and change, helping me approach each case with greater awareness and sensitivity. My focus is always on keeping the child’s perspective in view, making sure their voice isn’t lost in the process and that decisions are shaped around their wellbeing.

Positive Parenting Coaching Qualification

Building on my commitment to supporting families, I’ve completed a Positive Parenting Coach certification. This training has strengthened my practical skills in guiding parents through challenges with a calm, structured, and child-focused approach. It equips me to help families develop healthier communication, set consistent boundaries, and create more stable, supportive environments, always keeping the child’s emotional wellbeing at the centre of the process.

I do things differently.

I understand that navigating Family Law and the complexities of the UK Court system can feel like a minefield, full of unexpected challenges and obstacles.

Whether you’re escaping domestic abuse or trying to maintain a relationship with your grandchildren, it’s vital to have clear, trustworthy legal support. As a professional member of the Paralegal Society (F.Para.Soc), I offer reliable advice without the added worry of spiralling or unpredictable costs.
