Philosophy
Coole & Co is founded on three core pillars; Excellence, Empathy and Efficiency. Founder and Principal lawyer Amy Coole has a professional background defined by a commitment to public service and rigorous legal practice, having worked across various government departments and the not-for-profit sector. After starting her education through School of the Air, two hours out of Halls Creek, it was serendipitous when many years later, after finishing her education at the University of Western Australia, she made her first appearance back in the Halls Creek Children's Court. She went on to appear in the Family Court of Western Australia, the Federal Court, and the Federal Circuit Court, and has developed a strong technical foundation in litigation built on high ethical standards. Amy believes that family law is about more than just a process—it is about the people involved. She is driven by the principle that every client deserves the most cost-effective solution to their legal needs, without compromising on quality or compassion. Coole & Co is ready to help you with dignity, care and transparency. Separation is a difficult time. Our team will help you understand the necessary next steps to take after separation and how to reduce any unnecessary legal and emotional costs.

Frequently Asked
Fixed-fee means you know the total cost of your legal service upfront, before any work begins. No hourly billing surprises, no unexpected invoices. The price you see is the price you pay for the defined scope of work.
If additional work is required beyond the fixed-fee scope — for example, if further disclosure is needed for a consent order — additional work is charged at $300 per hour. We'll always discuss this with you before any additional costs are incurred.
We handle property settlements, parenting matters (custody and access), and Family Violence Restraining Orders (FVROs). Our initial consultation covers any of these areas.
