Amanda Lyons
Partner
I started practicing family law in 2003 when I commenced my training contract with a firm in Cornwall. I qualified in 2005 and have practiced solely in family law ever since. I am accredited by the Law Society as a specialist in children’s law 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 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.
