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 a high quality service, delivered with care. Amy is a South West local and a mother of two young children. Her local knowledge is often used to tailor advice to her clients, especially with parenting arrangements.

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 application — additional work is charged at $300 per hour. We'll always discuss this with you before any additional costs are incurred.
We provide advice exclusively in family law; including separation, divorce, property settlements and incidental matters including family violence retraining orders and child support.
