What Sets Us Apart
Legal Support That Puts People First
Good family law practice is more than technical knowledge. It is about how you make people feel when they are going through something genuinely difficult.

Core Advantages
These are the things families notice most when they work with us — and the reasons many of them come back or refer others.
Over a Decade of Family Law Focus
Our practitioners have spent more than ten years working exclusively in family law. This depth of focus means we understand the nuances that a general practice often misses.
Communication That Stays Clear
You will always know what is happening, why it is happening, and what comes next. We write and speak in plain language, not legal shorthand.
A Low-Conflict Default
Where families can resolve matters cooperatively, we actively support that path. We do not default to adversarial approaches when gentler ones will serve better.
Fixed, Transparent Fees
Each service has a published price. You know what you are paying before any work begins, and there are no charges added without your prior agreement.
Experienced with International Families
A significant part of our Bangkok client base includes expatriates and mixed-nationality families. We are comfortable navigating the added complexity these situations bring.
Prompt, Reliable Responses
We commit to responding to all enquiries within one working day. Being accessible is part of providing a service worth trusting.
In More Detail
What Each Benefit Means in Practice
Professional Expertise
Malika's practitioners hold active licences with the Lawyers Council of Thailand and carry specific academic and practical background in family law under the Thai Civil and Commercial Code. This is not a practice that handles family matters as one area among many — it is what we do every working day.
- Registered and licensed practitioners
- Annual continuing professional development
- Specialist knowledge of Thai Family Code
Thoughtful Use of Technology
We handle document preparation using current digital tools, which reduces errors and speeds up the administrative parts of a matter. Secure document sharing means you do not need to visit us in person just to exchange paperwork, and video consultations are available for those who prefer them.
- Secure digital document exchange
- Video consultations available
- Accurate, well-prepared legal documents
Service & Care
Family matters are personal. The quality of the legal service matters, but so does how you feel being handled. Our approach is warm, unhurried, and attentive. We give each client the space to speak, and we take what they say seriously — not just as legal information, but as the experience of a real person.
- No rushing or dismissing of concerns
- Appointments held at a suitable pace
- Regular, proactive case updates
Value & Pricing
Family legal services in Bangkok vary enormously in cost, and hidden additions are common. Our fees are fixed and stated before any work begins: ฿1,850 for a consultation, ฿6,700 for cooperative agreement support, and ฿12,400 for comprehensive representation. What you agree to is what you pay.
- Fixed pricing for each service
- Written fee agreement before any work starts
- No additions without prior agreement
Outcomes & Results
We measure success not only by legal outcomes, but by whether clients feel their situation was handled well. A fair agreement reached cooperatively is a better result than a contested one, even if the legal terms are similar. We keep that broader view in mind throughout every matter.
- Strong record of cooperative resolutions
- Client wellbeing kept in view throughout
- Post-matter support available where needed
How We Compare
The Malika Approach vs. the Typical Experience
Not all legal practices handle family matters the same way. Here is what tends to differ.
| Area | Typical Practice | Malika |
|---|---|---|
| Communication style | Legal language, limited explanation | Plain language, every step explained |
| Fee structure | Hourly billing, variable totals | Fixed fees, agreed in writing upfront |
| Default approach | Adversarial as a starting point | Cooperative first, formal when required |
| Consultation | Brief, often impersonal | Unhurried, genuinely attentive |
| International families | General guidance, limited experience | Extensive cross-cultural family law experience |
| Response time | Days or longer | Within one working day |

What Makes Us Different
A Cooperative-First Philosophy
Most practices treat cooperation as a fallback and formal proceedings as the norm. We reverse that. When families are willing to engage respectfully, we structure our entire service around that possibility — because cooperative outcomes are better for everyone, especially children.
Cross-Cultural Family Law Fluency
Bangkok is home to a large international community, and family matters that cross national lines carry additional complexity. Our team has substantial experience navigating matters that involve more than one legal framework — and we handle them without adding unnecessary confusion.
Questions Are Always Welcome
We do not limit the time you spend asking us things. If you have a question at any stage of your matter — however small it may seem — we want you to ask it. Understanding what is happening is your right, and making that easy for you is our responsibility.
Document Preparation Included
In both our Cooperative Agreement Support and Comprehensive Representation services, document preparation is part of what you are paying for. We do not charge separately for the paperwork that your matter requires — it is built into the agreed fee.
