Hickman Family Lawyers

Hickman Family Lawyers helps people in Perth and across Western Australia with divorce, separation and parenting matters. The firm is a small boutique practice led by principal Ella Hickman, who has practised as a barrister and solicitor since 2014.

Clients get advice on divorce, marriage annulments, child custody, restraining orders, spousal maintenance, property settlements and consent orders. The firm also prepares wills, enduring powers of attorney and enduring powers of guardianship, and helps with probate.

The team tries to settle disputes through negotiation and mediation before going to court. If a matter has to go to court, the lawyers act for clients through to trial. A free 15 minute phone call is the first step.

Hickman Family Lawyers has one office at Level 11, 40 St Georges Terrace, Perth WA 6000. The firm acts for clients across Western Australia and appears in the Family Court of Western Australia and the Magistrates Court.

The firm practises almost exclusively in family law, with wills and estates as a newer service. It covers divorce, parenting and children's issues, family violence restraining orders, spousal maintenance and property settlements. Ella Hickman is accredited as an Independent Children's Lawyer. The firm offers a free 15 minute phone call and says it can use fixed fees for matters such as consent orders and divorces.
