Craig was referred to us through a friend who has worked with him previously. Craig did a great job representing our legal child custody case. He was very experienced and knowledgeable and won our case because he did his due diligence, is communicative and sensible! He is very up-front and detailed. His expertise in law definitely shined and was a much better experience than the Lawyer we had previously!

Craig came into my situation through word of mouth when it counted the most. I was previously with another attorney that lacked the abilities needed in my situation. Craig was honest with me, realistic, stern, and passionate about his job. He seemed at home in the courtroom with his whit of questions and answers. Craig and Leslie are the reason I now have 50/50 custody.

In legal representation, it's often easier to pen a review when lamenting a terrible experience. Yet, it's imperative to celebrate those who consistently surpass expectations, just as High Desert Law Group has done for my family. During a distressing, costly, and disheartening family court case with a previous attorney, we were referred to High Desert Law Group by a trusted friend. Craig Cherney and Leslie emerged as invaluable assets, distinguishing themselves from other law firms in Scottsdale, Arizona. At a critical juncture, Craig and Leslie fearlessly navigated our complex case, providing timely guidance, unwavering patience, and a distinctive strategy marked by professionalism. Despite joining the case just a month before trial, they untangled the chaos created by our previous attorney, impressing the judge and outshining the opposition with their eloquence and composure. In a time of despair and limited options, Craig and Leslie were a beacon of hope for my family, ultimately securing a more harmonious and stable life for our children with a one-week on/off schedule. They provided clear expectations while consistently considering the financial implications of their suggested actions, allowing us to rest easy at night. Their expertise and transparent communication transformed a daunting process into a manageable journey, where we felt supported and protected every step of the way. Craig and Leslie's compassion and dedication to our children's best interests were evident in their timely responses, compassionate guidance, and well-crafted legal documents. They consistently demonstrated their commitment to exceptional representation and emotional support, even during late-night moments of uncertainty. Their honesty and focus on our needs over their financial gain further solidified our trust in their capabilities. Craig's bold and confident approach, coupled with his calm and empathetic demeanor, provided emotional solace to my loved ones and me. After vetting nearly 100 family law attorneys in Scottsdale and Phoenix, Arizona, I am confident that there is no more skilled Family Law Attorney in Scottsdale than Craig Cherney. His legal acumen, cost-conscious strategies, and sensitivity to the emotional nuances of family court have empowered our family during the most challenging times. We are eternally grateful for their unwavering support and success in helping us achieve our goals. Without a doubt, I will consult and retain Craig for any future family legal matters, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking top-tier representation.

If you are in need of an attorney that will go above and beyond, Jennifer is the one for you. I recently needed her services and I was amazed with her thoroughness and her drive to get things done. I would highly recommend her and her team.

Craig is highly experienced and versed in complex, multi-faceted cases. He fights for his clients without compromising ethics and truly respects the judicial system and processes. So many attorneys these days say anything to get you in the door, and once they do, they either aren't committed and give a sub-par effort, or purposely attempt to prolong things to increase the bottom line. Not so with Craig. He and Leslie (paralegal) are worth every penny, and they work efficiently and expertly to bring about a timely resolution. This team does not play games. Highly recommend!

Mr. Cherney is an exceptional lawyer. He absolutely gets results! Not only does he possess a vast and detailed knowledge of the law, but his professionalism and integrity are equally impressive. He honestly cares about his clients and the families involved. If you are in the Phoenix area and are seeking the very best in Family Law, Mr. Cherney is the one! Choosing him to represent you will be the best decision you ever make.

My situation was very nuanced and contained several complexities. Upon my initial consultation with Craig, he was fully aware of my case history after reading and reviewing copious amounts of documents in preparation for it. I retained him the next day with a little over 2 months before my scheduled 2½ hour evidentiary hearing. Craig is detail oriented and very communicative He demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and had genuine concern for me and the outcome I desired. Craig is tremendously knowledgeable and a straight-shooter…he will tell you what you need to hear and not what you want to hear.

I went through a challenging child custody battle a few years ago. It was in my darkest times; being all alone as a single mother, Craig fought for me with everything he had. Craig gave me the courage and a voice I never knew I had. His writing skills and excellent speech in the courtroom impressed me, and everyone in the courtroom. Even my ex, who said to me privately after our litigation was over that my attorney gave it to him hard. So if you want a top dog in the industry who will fight for you and your family, Craig is the man! He will always be someone I look up to.

Hello, Dana Booth here. Craig Cherney saved my life! I was in a dark place, going through a divorce and Craig and his staff put the bounce back in my step with their expertise and positivity. I found myself marveling at Craig's calm demeanor and quiet, confident acumen! When you enlist the services of HDFLG, you can rest assured that you've made the right choice. I can never thank them enough.

Craig and Leslie were very helpful in navigating the process of divorce and explaining the steps. Ultimately we dealt with a hostile and aggressive lawyer who tried to take me to the cleaners and strip me of my right to make decisions in regard to my children. This ended up in court after mediation was unsuccessful. The judge was not impressed with the opposing attorney gamesmanship and posturing I got favorable judgement regarding decision making, alimony and child support. The opposing attorney sold herself as the ‘go to’ attorney who can get my ex upward deviation on child support but this also did not happen.
