PROFILE – ANGELA PHELAN – Partner

Having just celebrated her 23rd year with Richardson Smith and Co, Angela Phelan has gained a wealth of experience in most aspects of law over the years.  She has dedicated herself to the complex area of family law with emphasis being on children, (residence/contact/specific issues and care proceedings).  Her case load includes matters of  family breakdowns, domestic violence and divorce including the financial issues that follow.  As a qualified police station representative, she can advise on areas that sometimes overlap.  

Angela Phelan is the only Solicitor in Chesham to have been appointed a member of the Law Society’s ADVANCED Family Law Panel in 2002 having become a member in 1999.  She has offers a service that is friendly and thorough with an inside understanding of the emotional trauma that relationship breakdowns can cause.

Angela was appointed to the Law Society's Children Panel (SRA) as a parent and childrens representative. As such she deals with public law proceedings where the state intervenes in family's lives and acts also for children through their appointed guardian. This is a complex area of family law which enhances specific organisational skills together with a knowledge of family dynamics and vunerable partners. 

We can deal with care proceedings including Local Authorities applications for supervision order. More currently introduced as Special Guardianship applications which provide an alternative carer where the parents are unable to offer what the children need. 

Angela graduated from the University of Hertfordshire and achieved a distinction in the Legal Practice Course (Law Society finals)

Angela is a member of the British Association of Adoption and Fostering (BAAF) and also the Association of Lawyers for Children (ALC), also appointed a Member of the SRA (Law Society) children's Panel as a children Representative.

Angela heads our Family Department
