Amanda Lyons
Partner
I started practising family law in 2003 when I commenced my training contract with a firm in Cornwall. I qualified in 2005 and have practised solely in family law ever since. I am a specialist in law related to child arrangements, but my practice has always been the whole spectrum of family work.
I joined GA Solicitors in January 2023 as a partner, having previously been with another local firm for 8 ½ years, where I was also a partner.
My practice remains exclusively in family law. I undertake a wide spectrum of work in this field and pride myself on being able to empathise with my clients, being able to make them feel at ease and in safe hands through the most difficult of times. My main areas of practice are disputes involving children, often with multiple parents and complicated dynamics, alongside divorce and matrimonial finance, including arrangements for pension sharing and property transfers.
I am also a certified Mental Health First Aider with MHFA England.
I am passionate about securing the right outcome for my clients and their children, which can often mean thinking outside of the box to work to an arrangement that suits their family.
- Amanda is extremely professional and personable. She has always listened, given me her honest views, and professional opinion and also supported me throughout the whole process, I cannot thank her enough for all that she has done for me in a stressful and prolonged Court journey which she has made easier and more manageable.
-
The humanity in which my matter was dealt with. It takes skill for solicitors to cut through the emotions and get to the heart of the matter without causing any offence. Amanda has that skill in spades. I will be eternally grateful for her assistance. I cannot say more than that.
- I just wanted to say a massive thank you for being patient with me and helping me even when my circumstances changed within my life. Court wasn’t fully what I hoped for, but it’s better than what had been granted previously, and the relief of it being over and finalised, I can’t express enough, a lot of stress and anxiety has been lifted. You have been amazing with myself, and my family and I will always highly recommend you.
