also known as Channe G. Coles
Channe G. Coles understands the struggles which face divorced parents, especially those confronted with the challenge of raising a child on their own while struggling financially.
As a child of divorce herself, she grew up in a single-parent family with her mother and four sisters. She understands the toll child custody battles can take both physically and emotionally on parents, but also from the perspective of the child who often suffers the most when parents fight it out in court.
Channe has two undergraduate degrees from California State University, Northridge; a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, and a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. Immediately following her undergraduate education, she enrolled at the West Los Angeles School of Law, graduated cum laude in May 2008, and passed the July bar in November that same year.
In 2009 Channe joined a general practice law firm in downtown Los Angeles, where she gained a wealth of litigation and trial experience in construction defects, probate, personal injury, and family law. Following her time there, she joined Law Offices of Gregory Johnson, in Oxnard, California exclusively practicing in the area of elder abuse and personal injury, where she chaired long-cause trials through Ventura and Los Angeles County and assisted in complex class action lawsuits. In 2014 she opened her own solo practice in Santa Barbara where 99% of her time is devoted to the area of family law. She brings a wealth of litigation experience and is extremely competent in handling both highly contested, big income and asset cases; as well as, the far less complex issues of a “friendly divorce”.
Channe resides with her husband, teenage son, champion Rhodesian Ridgeback “Truman”, and her two rescue cats in her home in Santa Barbara. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family, camping, sailing, running, skiing, and wine tasting!

I have been in a complex child custody battle court case for over 14 years. When I met Channe, She listened to me and immediately devised a plan using her expert knowledge, analytical skills, experience, and passion, so I retained her services. Channe helped me get justice.

I hired Channe in the tenth hour just before my evidentiary hearing on custody, visitation, and child support. My prior attorney disappeared, and given the circumstances I couldn't push out the hearing and go with the date I had, only a week away. I met with multiple attorneys, but because I had alre...

You want Channe Coles on your side. She and her team are truly amazing. They listen to you and will know your case inside and out, as well or better than you do. I started with 2 other attorneys and the difference was night and day. Channe actually cared about my case and went above and beyond for me...

Channe has been excellent in working with me to get immediate temporary spousal and child support as we get deeper into the complexities of my case.
