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 heads our Family Department Email: angelaphelan@richardsonsmithsolicitors.co.uk
