I hired Suzette to represent me in my divorce case, which also involved child custody, and I couldn’t be more pleased with her work and dedication. Suzette is compassionate yet straightforward, providing clear, honest guidance without sugarcoating the facts. She approaches each situation with a constructive mindset, ensuring that every decision is well-considered.
Her rates are reasonable, and her extensive experience in family law is evident in the way she handled my case. I highly recommend Suzette for anyone facing a family law matter. The IMPACT she has had on my life as I move past this tumultuous chapter is profound, and I am incredibly grateful for her support as I look forward to the future.

Ms. Goldman was my attorney through a nearly 2 year custody case. She made sure that I was doing what I needed and when I shouldn't worry. She did an excellent job in fighting for me and I do not think I would have found a better attorney than her. Thank you so much! I appreciate everything you and the firm has done for me.

Jami has always been direct, from the start. I felt that my questions were answered, direction was given and she always had my best interest at heart. The guidance and support Jami has given, during a difficult time, goes beyond words. I always felt that she was prepared, educated and ready to take on whatever I threw her way. Highly recommended Jami Goldman, great advocate to work with.

Ronald was excellent. This was my first time in my life having to use any type of lawyer. After 28 years of marriage I was struggling with my ex wifes decision to get a divorce. Ron recognized this and helped me tremendously. Not only did he help explain the steps and procedures but he also was concerned for me personally because of my emotional state of going through the divorce. Ron always conducted himself professionally. During the pandemic and having to adjust to the virual world was very different. He did an exceptional job in helping me with this. I will definitely recommend Ronald in the future for anyone in need of a lawyer.
Thank you.

I hired Ron to resolve insurance co-pays for my last year of Child Support. The original Court Order stated my ex would provide my daughter's insurance and I was responsible for 75% of the co-pays or out of pocket expenses. In 2014 my ex could no longer afford health insurance for my daughter. I took over paying my daughter's health care insurance.
My ex waited until 3 months before my daughter's 18th birthday to file documentation with DES for $11,000 of unpaid out of pocket expenses. The actual amount was $4,000. Ron was critical to resolving the issue and my final payment of $4,000.
Prior to retaining Ron I had utilized the services of a well known family law firm that was supposed to be one of the best for "father's rights". Ron far exceeded what the original law firm accomplished with my case.
Highly Recommended!!!!

I couldn't have been happier with the result of my case! Ron diligently worked through multiple layers of delays and complications (including the wrongful removal of a child to another country). Ron consistently kept me up-to-date and I felt very confident that he would achieve the desired outcome. You will not regret having Ron represent you!

Ms. Del Vecchio and her team were hands down the most professional personnel I've ever dealt with. Given the severity of my situation, they could answer any questions I had and kept me up to date through my dissolution process. I recommend them if you need any legal matter done.
Ms. Del Vecchio made it very easy to communicate with her and was there for me from beginning to end.

I've been working with Bishop Law for almost 5 years on a very complex case that expanded across different courts and jurisdictions. I highly recommend Bishop Law Office because Ms. Tawnia Wienke and Mr. Bishop are the best Family Law attorneys in Arizona. You can depend on them to be a good advocate for you in court and equally hold you accountable in the best interest of yourself and family. I've been in front of 4 different Superior Court Judges in the last 5 years and I can tell you that each Judge respects Tawnia, Bill and the Bishop Law Firm brand. I'm grateful to have Tawnia representing me and I highly recommend you hire them ASAP! Great Team to work with.
Reach out to Ms. Carolyn to get set up.

Bill represented me for a complex spousal support case. He was always readily available to answer my questions and present options so that I could feel comfortable and understand everything as we worked through the case. His whole team was very helpful and responsive. I would recommend Bill Bishop's office for your legal needs.

I had the unfortunate experience of going through a contested divorce! As such, I needed a good attorney to represent me. Alyson was referred to me by another Attorney I had been represented by in an accident case and I could not have hired a better Divorce Attorney! Alyson worked closely with me through Oral Arguments, Evidentiary Hearing, and assisted in my negotiation of my Divorce Settlement. Alyson was empathetic to my situation and provided me with clear and concise information to assist in getting on with my life! Divorce is hard and I do not wish it upon anyone, however, Alyson is without a doubt who I would recommend should you need expert legal representation with Divorce proceedings. Thank You Alyson!!!

I hired Mrs. Foster to represent me in my divorce and child custody case. My case was complex, the other party refused to try to come to any agreements prior to going to court. I worked with Mrs. Foster for over three years on this case. She made sure that my children were safe and didn't give an inch when it came to that. Her and her paralegal kept me informed of everything that was going on. She also assisted me with all necessary follow up and enforcement hearings. She was very personable and I felt like she really cared about my family and the outcome of our case. She walked me through the whole process and was very upfront about everything. If it weren't for her hard work and compassion, things could have turned out very different for my children. I am very glad I decided to hire her.

I hired Alyson Foster to draft my post-nup agreement; she also represented me through my divorce. I appreciated that Alyson was straight forward and realistic, but also had a sense of humor. She didn't always tell me what I wanted to hear, but I still felt she had my best interest in mind. Alyson strongly advocated for me throughout the divorce process. She's responsive and always returned my phone calls and emails in a timely manner. She also recommended options for avoiding unnecessary legal fees, when appropriate. Her paralegal, Nikki, was also a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her services.

Making the decision to file Bankruptcy was perhaps one of the most difficult events I’ve had to address in my life. After my spouse lost her job, my business sharply declined over the past couple of years, and subsequently my marriage ended, Bruce was the calm in my storm. Bruce was not only compassionate, but also supportive and attentive with every detail regarding my case. On two occasions, several years ago, I required legal representation, but this experience was the only time that I truly felt sincerely represented.
Thank you for everything Bruce!

We cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding legal support provided by Elizabeth Nañez and her Paralegal Aly Maravilla. From the moment we engaged her services, she exhibited unwavering dedication, professionalism, and expertise in handling our family matter case.
Elizabeth demonstrated exceptional knowledge of the law and a deep understanding of our unique circumstances. She navigated the complexities of our case with precision and skill, keeping us informed and reassured every step of the way. Thanks to her tenacity and strategic approach, we achieved results beyond our expectations.
We wholeheartedly recommend Elizabeth and Davis | Miles to anyone seeking top-notch legal representation. She is a true advocate for her clients and a credit to her profession. Thank you for your outstanding service!

I hired Ms. Nañez when I was having issues with not being able to see my daughter after repeated court order violation on behalf of her mother. She was able to present a strong and damming case to the courts that got the games to stop on her mom's part. The case was so well presented and organized that the judge also ordered some very strong penalties if she were to violate again. I am VERY satisfied with the work she did for me and given the chance/necessity, I would hire her again! The one negative thing I would say is she refuses to give up on that old laptop of hers, that thing needs to be put out to pasture... If you hire her, ask her about it.

Mr. Gardner handled my divorce case with complete professionalism even though my ex-husband, who represented himself, was very difficult to work with. Mr. Gardner and his staff were always keeping me advised of the status of my case as well and responded timely to my communications. They took my concerns and questions very seriously and spent whatever time was necessary to explain the processes of my case and answer all of my questions. I would give Mr. Gardner and his firm my highest recommendation.

Laura Oven is a great lawyer. She is an agressive atorney who will tell it like it is and goes above and beyond what would be expected from a lawyer. She helped us get through 2 hearings and both were successfully in our favor with better results than expected. She is supportive and up front about costs and will even work with you if you are struggling financially by offering payment plans and/or providing resources to help permanetely reduce your costs. We think she is fantastic and has proven herself repeatidly in our case. Even if you are looking for someone simply to get legal advise on occassion, she is your go to.

I want to be clear, the 5 stars i chose to grade is specifically for the work of one person only and that’s Chenique Smith! Chenique is the only person in this firm who treated me and my mother with thoughtfulness, professionalism and respect. If the words Cook Law weren’t next to her name i would swear i was dealing with my best friend or a close family member. She definitely made my mother and i feel important. Chenique paid close attention to detail and was timely in her response to our messages while remaining proactive in getting things done, whereas others simply made us feel forgotten. I hope Chenique is paid her worth because she definitely is keeping that office afloat.

Let’s be honest. Chenique is such a beautiful soul. I truly felt like I was talking to my big sister. She advocated for me, even though my case was extremely complicated and unique. She made me feel like I’m worth fighting for and genuinely expressed concern to rescue me from this crazy situation I’m in.
When I got off the phone with her, my boyfriend asked me if I was talking to my best friend… I told him that I was talking to the firm that was going to represent me for my accident and he was like… “You guys were talking to each other like you had known each other for years! I thought it was your bestie!”
So much gratitude for this firm and every person I’ve talked to that’s heard me out and helped me along the way. Thank you so much you guys! I feel lighter knowing I’m in the hands of people that I know are going to do their best. 💜💜

I called Mr Peterson to ask one question in regards to my divorce in which I made the mistake of not having representation from the beginning . My divorce was down to very end with the final decree being ready to sign . Mr Petesom not only answered my question, he pointed out some inadequacies in the decrees and suggested revisions on a couple stipulations . For the very very very fair amount that I paid Mr Peterson , his professionalism and expertise and unequivocal knowledge of AZ divorce law saved me potentially up to several thousand dollars . Mr Peterson is a stand up man , empathetic , and is not only looking out for his own pocket book, he truly put me and my case 1st .

Alhamdulillah Brother Yaser and his team did an excellent job in helping us to form our nonprofit for our masjid. They made it a very smooth and easy process for us and also gave us very good advice about how to structure the organization to our advantage.
By the blessings of Allah, we obtained tax-exempt status after filing with the IRS. Brother Sami, the operations director, was always very helpful and clearly communicated exactly what we needed to do in order to complete the process.
I ask Allah to bless Yaser, Sami, and the entire team and to allow them to continue serving the community in such a great manner.

I personally didn’t use Matt but my niece did and without getting the judge’s ruling yet I can still say he’s an amazing hardworking invested atty. He took on a high conflict case with a few days to prepare and he killed it. He knows what he’s doing and he is, without a doubt, built for this. I highly recommend him because no matter how her case turns out he did everything possible with very little time. I’m truly amazed how he handled her case.

I am writing to express my highest recommendation of Attorney Matt Schultz. When Matt took over my divorce case, the proceedings had been dragging on for almost a year with bare minimum progress under my prior representation. From our first meeting, he demonstrated his strong advocacy and skill as he got up to speed on the intricate details of my case. He took the time to answer all my questions and talk to me throughout it all. Matt was super helpful in explaining everything clearly, so I understood what was happening. In the few short months, he navigated the legal complexities efficiently and professionally. I was impressed by his dedication, strategic approach and ability to cut through red tape. Thanks to his leadership, I was finally able to resolve my divorce in a timely manner. Dealing with divorce is tough enough emotionally, so it really meant a lot to have someone as on top of it as Matt in my corner. He brought tremendous value as my counsel. I am sincerely grateful for his assistance during this difficult personal matter.

I recently had the privilege of working with Matt Schultz, and his exceptional legal expertise combined with genuine compassion made a challenging process much more manageable. Matt listened attentively, explained complex legal matters clearly, and navigated my case with precision. His dedication, responsiveness, and commitment to an amicable resolution set them apart. I highly recommend Matt for anyone in need of a divorce attorney who not only excels in the legal realm but also prioritizes their clients' well-being.

Needed to consult with Adam twice for a couple of different items and hired him and his team to help me get a retirement account I was a beneficiary of when the company that was holding it were being incredibly difficult to work with. At the end, I ended up being able to get the account I was entitled to. I communicated mostly with Holly, who kept me advised of all of the difficulties and changes as they happened. Adam also helped me when we needed to speak to a judge. Would not only use them again but would encourage anyone who needed a probate lawyer to use them as well.

Over turning a title 8 guardianship!!!
I talked to over a dozen family attorney's, all who said my case was impossible and it could not be done.
Then I was given Nidhi's number.
She was straight forward and very professional! Saying it was a tough case, but it CAN be done!
I went about this case on my own for years, and with a criminal background, It was a up hill battle.
Then once Nidhi stepped in as proper legal representation, the game changed.
With her expertise and knowledge, she was able to navigate the legal system and negotiate with the other parties, bringing this case to a agreement, helping to reunite children with a very loving father.
It couldn't of be done with out her counsel!
She is worth every dollar!

She will not back down, She is always efficient in her work and always has a plan! She keeps you in on key information does not beat around the bush and really does take your whole case to heart. She saved my 401k and home from being taken & even helped in way I did not think possible! I would highly recommend Nidhi to anyone in need of her services! Thanks to her my kids and I can now try and live a better life. And now focus on my kids medical issues and my happiness! But of course none of it could have been possible without the help of Nidhi!

Emile Harmon - or his office - lost my contract agreement with his office two or three times after I signed it ... and blamed me.
Emile Harmon repeatedly failed to return phone calls after he said to get in touch with him ... and blamed his (personally competent) paraprofessional.
Emile Harmon repeatedly told me he had physical therapists for me to go to after my injury but failed to return phone calls asking for their names. Later, he lied and told the AZ bar, where he has been reported for at least the second time, that he never said he had names of physical therapists.
Emile Harmon told me that he would be able to get a demand letter for my case sent within three months. Four months later, after numerous unanswered requests to see the demand letter sent to the party being sued, he sent me the letter.
It had numerous errors. I asked if we could fix it. He said we could. I asked how we could do that if it had been sent. He said it hadn't yet been sent after all.
When I couldn't abide Emile Harmon's lack of professionalism any longer, I asked for my case to be transferred to another lawyer in the firm. Emile Harmon resigned my case saying, in part, that without physical therapy, my case isn't worth that much anyway.
When he resigned it, he left me in a position where at least of some my medical bills have not yet been paid from my insurance (since his paraprofessional asked me to send him the release form from my insurance before I signed anything - I have no idea when she sent it out after that) and they are about to be reported to credit bureaus as unpaid.
I reported his behavior to the AZ Bar, where he is currently being investigated.
Update:
I also engaged another attorney who, despite Emile Harmon's predictions, got me a large settlement. This attorney charged me only 29%, as opposed to Emile Harmon's ask of 40%.
When I saw here that Emile Harmon had been sanctioned by the AZ Bar once, I should have paid attention and immediately engaged another attorney. This is now a decision I deeply regret.

Emile Harmon first struck me as a "no b.s." kind of man: he told me exactly what hurdles I was up against, the honest likelihood of me getting full custody back, and at first he said he didn't think he could win the case for me and so I should hire someone else! Since when do lawyers say that? He was amazingly straightforward, and we all REALLY respect that. He also likes a challenge though, since he decided to take my case, after really interacting with me during the course of the free consult: he asked tons of relevant questions, reviewed documents I provided, and listened respectfully to my questions and concerns (and those of my mother, who wanted grandparental rights) and then answered them honestly.
In the course of that one hour consultation he managed to do what 7 other lawyers before him could not: answer the legal questions we had without misleading us about the difficulty of our case yet not quashing our hopes, assess the state of our case accurately, and even form a basic plan as to how we might win. IN ONE HOUR. Most importantly, he made us all feel comfortable, and we knew we were dealing with a forthright professional who would serve us to the best of his substantial ability.
In preparation for the trial, we corresponded mainly with his associate, yet Emile was always available via phone, text, or email to further ensure that the plan stayed relevant and on track, or even just to answer any further concerns we had. He was consummately knowledgeable about the applicable laws and legal procedures. He always made us feel we had made the right decision in hiring him & his associate to represent us, every time we communicated. To be quite frank, he and his team worked their asses off for us, since we had a pretty limited amount of time until the date of the hearing by the time we found him. They were AMAZING. I was literally amazed at watching them work so flawlessly as a team; with such good humor, so quickly, and with total precision, even in the courtroom: right in front of the judge when they had to change direction on an issue mid-hearing.
Finally, and against all odds, we did win our case (joint custody is far, far better than a few hours every other Saturday!), and both my mother and I sincerely believe that Emile & his team are solely responsible for that victory. I've run out of the dozen cards he gave me because I've handed them all out to friends, even strangers. I've given his number to a dozen more. I'd hire him again in a second, and intend to do so should I EVER require more family law/custody issues legal help, and if I need help in some other area of the law, Emile is the only man I'll ask for a referral, because I respect his opinion so much.

- Divorce or separation: When ending a marriage, a lawyer can help you navigate issues such as division of assets, spousal support, and child custody arrangements.
- Child custody and visitation disputes: If you and your co-parent can't agree on custody or visitation, a lawyer can represent your interests and work toward a solution that benefits your children.

How Are Family Law Lawyers Paid?
Family law lawyers typically charge clients in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Most family lawyers charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and location. Clients are billed for the time spent working on their case, including consultations, court appearances, and document preparation.
- Flat fees: For more straightforward legal services, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, some lawyers offer flat-fee arrangements.
- Retainer fees: In cases that are expected to require significant time and attention, such as contentious custody battles, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers the initial costs of legal services. The lawyer then bills against the retainer as they work on your case.
The exact cost will depend on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure, which should be discussed upfront.

Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer
Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved. -
What are the possible outcomes of my case?
An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases. -
Who will be handling my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work, so make sure you understand who will be your main point of contact.
How to Check the Credibility of a Family Law Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on websites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell. Previous clients can give you insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and success in family law cases.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer for references from past clients who can speak to their experience with the lawyer.
- Review their website or professional profile: Look at the lawyer’s background, case history, and areas of focus to ensure they have substantial experience in family law.
- Look for professional memberships: Membership in reputable organizations, such as the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), can indicate a lawyer's expertise and dedication to family law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a family law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:
- Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
- List of assets and debts: For divorce cases, prepare a detailed list of all assets (e.g., homes, bank accounts, retirement funds) and debts (e.g., mortgages, loans, credit card balances).
- Details of the family issue: Provide a written summary of the situation, including key dates and facts related to your divorce, custody dispute, or support issue.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes.
- Your goals: Be prepared to discuss your objectives, such as custody arrangements, property division, or spousal support, so the lawyer understands your priorities.
Being organized and clear about your situation will help the lawyer evaluate your case more effectively and offer the best advice for moving forward.
