What it was like to work with us

The situation

A mother in Bangkok sought guidance after separating from her partner. Both parents wanted to remain involved with their two children, but had reached an impasse on arrangements. The relationship between them was tense, and direct communication had broken down.

What we did

We began with a Conversation Session to map the legal position and her options. She then engaged our Document and Agreement Support. We drafted a proposed co-parenting arrangement, managed all written communication with the other party's representation, and revised the document across three rounds until agreement was reached.

Outcome

A signed co-parenting agreement within approximately seven weeks of instruction. The arrangement addressed school terms, holidays, and regular contact — all without court proceedings. Both parents were able to remain on civil terms.

"I didn't think we'd reach an agreement. Naphatson managed the correspondence in a way that kept things from getting worse. We got there." — Client, April 2025

The situation

A gentleman came to us mid-way through a contested family matter that had already been partially handled by a different firm. He was unhappy with how things were proceeding and uncertain whether the advice he'd received was sound. He wanted a clear second opinion and, if appropriate, new representation.

What we did

We conducted a thorough Conversation Session reviewing the history and current position. Following that, he instructed us to take over full representation. We reviewed all existing filings, identified two issues with the prior approach, and adjusted the strategy with his agreement. We attended subsequent hearings at Bangkok Family Court.

Outcome

The matter was resolved at the third court hearing with an outcome broadly in line with his position. Total time from our instruction to resolution: approximately four months. A closing report summarising the order and its implications was provided within the week.

"He told me honestly what he thought was wrong with how things had been handled. That honesty is what made me trust him." — Client, March 2025

The situation

A woman in her forties was considering separation but hadn't made any decisions. She wanted to understand what her legal position would be and what the process would involve before discussing anything with her husband or family. She wasn't ready to engage a lawyer formally — she simply wanted information.

What we did

We held a single Family Conversation Session by video call, at her request. The conversation covered her likely legal position, the general process and timeline for a separation under Thai law, and what the financial picture might look like. No pressure was placed on her to proceed further. She received the written summary after the call.

Outcome

She decided not to proceed with any formal action at that time. She wrote to us several months later to say that having that clarity had helped her make a considered decision, and that she might return if circumstances changed. That, to us, is a successful outcome.

"I just needed to understand the landscape. The session gave me that without making me feel I had to do anything." — Client, February 2025
