Client experiences
A selection of accounts from people who have been through our different services.
British expatriate, Pattaya
I had no idea what my options were after my wife and I separated. The consultation was the first time someone actually sat down and explained how Thai family law works for foreign residents. I left with a written summary and a much clearer head. That alone was worth every baht.

Khun Kanya was very patient throughout the whole mediation process. My husband and I had very different views on how to handle custody, and she helped us find a middle ground that we both felt was fair. It took about six weeks but we got there without going to court, which was what I wanted from the start.

I had a difficult custody situation that needed formal handling — the other party was not willing to negotiate. Somchai represented me through the whole process and I always knew what was happening at each stage. He kept the communication calm and professional even when things got tense.

Nattaporn at reception made the whole experience feel manageable from the very first call. Everything was explained before I even came in for the meeting. The consultation was gentle and I felt heard, not processed. I've recommended Sukjai Law to two friends since.

Straightforward and honest. I asked directly how long my case would take and what the realistic outcome might be, and I got a straight answer — not false reassurance. The fees were also exactly as quoted, which I had not experienced with other firms in Thailand.

My situation involved children and property at the same time, which made things complicated. The team managed to keep everything organised and I always knew which matter was being handled at each stage. They were also very good at keeping things calm when emotions ran high.

Cross-border custody — finding an arrangement that worked for everyone
Challenge
A Thai mother and a European father, both living in Thailand, needed a custody arrangement after separating. Their child held dual nationality and both parents had strong views on schooling and access time. Communication had broken down.
How we helped
We offered the mediation service, running three structured sessions over five weeks. Somchai acted as facilitator, helping both parties focus on the child's needs rather than their own positions. Each session ended with a written summary of what had been agreed.
Outcome
A shared custody arrangement was drafted and signed by both parties. No court proceedings were required. The agreement covered schooling, holiday access, and communication guidelines. Both parents reported satisfaction with the process.
"I did not expect us to reach an agreement, but we did. The process was difficult at times but it felt fair." — Client A
Asset division following a long marriage — full representation over four months
Challenge
After 22 years of marriage, a Thai couple needed to divide significant shared assets including property, a small business, and savings held in different accounts. The other party had engaged an outside lawyer and initially took an adversarial approach.
How we helped
Kanya handled full representation for our client, managing all formal correspondence and preparing the case documentation. She also worked to de-escalate tensions where possible, which eventually allowed a degree of negotiation before the final hearing.
Outcome
A settlement was reached four months from the initial consultation, avoiding a lengthy court trial. The final arrangement was considered fair by the presiding officer and accepted by both parties. Cost was outlined at each stage, with no unexpected additions.
"Kanya was steady throughout the whole process. That steadiness helped me stay steady too." — Client B
