We are Hickman Family Lawyers, and we are a bit different to other family lawyers in Perth.

One of Perth’s leading family law firms, Hickman Family Lawyers have the same management, same ethos, and same commitment to providing high quality family law service aimed at resolving matters as early as possible.

We can help with divorce, marriage annulments, child custody, restraining orders, child support, spousal maintenance, family mediation, property settlements and consent orders.

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.
