A Family Law Attorney with Experience, Knowledge, Compassion, and Skill.
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 undergraduate education, she enrolled at the University of West Los Angeles, graduated cum laude in May 2008, and passed the bar exam 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 defect, probate, personal injury and family law. Following her time there, she joined Law Offices of Gregory Johnson, exclusively practicing in the area of elder abuse and personal injury. There, she chaired long-cause trials in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties and assisted in complex class action lawsuits.
In 2014, Channe opened Law Office of Channe G. Coles 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 highly contested high wealth and large asset cases (including those with businesses and properties), contested custody issues, domestic violence matters, support matters with simple and complex income streams, as well as uncontested matters such as a “friendly divorce”.
Channe resides with her husband, sons, dogs, rescue cat, and her chickens in Santa Barbara. In her free time, she mostly enjoys spending time with her family and enjoys camping, sailing, running, skiing, and wine tasting!
