Rissa was an invaluable asset during a less than ideal situation. She was clear in all steps needed to be taken by all parties, always available to consult on options, and realistic about expectations. I would certainly use her and her team's services again and would recommend them to anyone seeking counsel.

I presented Kayt with a divorce case that required knowledge of business bankruptcy law and other detailed financial information.

Kayt and her team helped to significantly ease my anxiety and stress with my divorce settlement. She was very knowledgable, efficient, and direct in her communication with the other party. I know she is exactly what I needed in an attorney to not feel bullied into settling for less than what I deserved. She made the process as comfortable for me as possible.
I would recommend Kayt in a heartbeat to anyone going through a similar situation as she was recommended to me by word of mouth. I have been highly satisfied with the end result.

I was suggested Danielle’s practice by facebook and took a leap of faith. From the very start she listened to my situation, understood the urgency, and walked me through what to expect. She shows compassion and empathy which is something different than I have experienced with other lawyers. Danielle was very knowledgeable regarding the processes of the Department of Child Safety and Juvenile court system. She presented my position and all the evidence in a very thorough manner. She never gave up on me and thankfully my situation is resolved now. God must have knew I needed her help and suggested that ad for her services! Eternally thankful to Danielle!

I was amazed at how fast Zelma handled my case! It was last minute and I was in contact and in a meeting with her mere days before my court hearing for disputed child support modification. She handled my case with such precision and made sure that my concerns were addressed. She was so very informative about expectations of both sides of this legal nightmare. She gave clear explanations of what to expect but fought for what I was deserved. I could not say enough nice things about her! I definitely recommend Zelma to anyone who is overwhelmed and in desperate need of legal help!

Zelma represented me in a very acrimonious divorce. I honestly don't know how she put up with all of my emotions for 2 years. She was always very calm when I wasn't, and would explain the law or strategy in layman's terms. Zelma was sincerely interested and caring about the outcome of my case. She explained circumstances matter of factly even if I didn't want to hear the outcome. Zelma is extremely knowledgeable in family law. I recommend Zelma Letarte 100% for an affordable and winning attorney. I can honestly state that after my divorce I learned how to move forward and not backward with bitterness because of her caring nature during and at the final decree of the divorce. I am a very strong personality and I learned a lot about empathy and fairness from Zelma.

Our case was not your typical Child Custody/Support case by any means. Zelma went above and beyond with handling our challenging case. I was so impressed how organized and professional she was. We call Zelma the " Bulldog" when it comes to being tough in the court room. Thank goodness she was on our side.

I highly recommend Edina if you are about to navigate a separation or divorce. Divorce is one of the worst events a person will suffer in their life, especially if the other person is an ill-intentioned, nasty, jealous, empty or narcissistic creature. Edina is intelligent, accurate, careful, caring, very knowledgeable about the law and the divorce process. She will articulate carefully, thoughtfully and provide you all you need to know, calmly guiding you to get to the end as effectively and efficiently as possible.

Divorce is such a painful process, but Brad will make your way easier. I was at a low point when I came to him, but he listened and took me through each step with intelligence and compassion.
I have since recommended Brad to friends, and they have had the same excellent experience that I did.

I was referred to Brad from a friend and now I definitely owe her dinner. Unfortunately, as many know divorce can be exhausting, frustrating and nerve-wracking. Mine had all of those moments due to my ex-husbands shenanigans but I always felt and knew Brad had my back and my best interests in mind. He was very much on top of things and always had lines of communication open for me anytime I needed. I can't say enough about his professionalism and demeanor. I am very satisfied with the results of my divorce and how well Brad handled everything even with following up with me once the divorce was final. I will definitely recommend Brad to friends or family in need of an awesome attorney.

So I had scheduled a consultation thru the Pima County Superior Court because I was told that well known and reputable Lawyers host free consultations for people like myself that didn't have a clue on how to complete certain court documents.
So since I first walked in he greeted me and introduced himself right away. He asked my situation and I took out TONS of papers and scattered over the table and told him that I was super confused and started the Full Custody process but didn't know how to close it or continue to the process. He stopped, thought for a minute, began digging into the paperwork, he asked tons of questions (which shows interest and demonstrated initiative in the matter) and, as he listened to my story; he organized EVERYTHING, telling me what I had to do next. With 7 minutes remaining on my consultation he began giving me instructions on how to complete the paperwork and BAM, I would be set or he could help me at his private office down Grant Rd. I took Andrews card immediately and he scheduled me at the 1st opening he had!
Over all, my paperwork is completed and now waiting for my Default hearing, j feel very confident and prepared t ok close this finally thanks to Andrew.
He was courteous, aggressive, Very Wise on how to handle the situation, EXPERIENCED, very affordable, He Even Stayed with me about 30 minutes or so over his closing time just to help me get it done ASAP (Which most have you reschedule), BUST MOST IMPORTANTLY... I felt like he cared, he is genuinely doing this line of work for the people Not For The Money But For The People. I witnessed that from day one.
And That Is Why He Will Be The One & Only Attorney I Will Trust And Go To For Now On.
Thank You Andrew, Thank You So Much!
I Needed This!

Attorney Lewis did a phenomenal job in my divorce representation. I was fully informed of every aspect during the process. He fought for my best interests, and his office/legal assistance was extremely efficient, and my questions and concerns were always immediately addressed.

The amazing legal service he and his assistant provide is only rivaled by the level of genuine and sincere care that they have for their clients. After a horrible experience with my previous counsel, I hired Mr. Lewis for a messy custody relocation case, and I will trust and seek his advice for any legal matters that I may have in the future. I’ve recommended him to a couple close friends of mine, and told them they’d be crazy if they hired anyone else.

I was afraid that my divorce, just like most, was going to be long, arduous and painful. As a result I interviewed numerous divorce lawyers in Tucson and found each had a different take on my situation. Obviously I was frustrated, until someone recommended I look into retaining Mr. Lewis.
Mr. Lewis and his staff are amazing, to the point and get things accomplished. Period. They took the time to explain the process, what was Law and how it pertained to my situation. Mr. Lewis kept me informed and his staff walked me through it all. I would never have been able to get through this without Mr. Lewis and his exemplary staff. Honest, straight-forward and results that I approved of.
I highly recommend you contact his office for a consult and retain him. Without question the best decision I made was to go with Mr. Lewis and his staff!

I have known Doug Zirkle for over thirty years. I hired him to represent me many times through out these years and was very happy and satisfied with the result. When in need I turned to him for his knowledge and expertise. Doug has seen me through difficult times without fail more than once. I have found him to be ethical and very helpful in his areas of the law he practices, giving of his time in a fair manner.
In the past He has represented me in court also with success, and was excellent. I was relieved to have him there by my side. He has a patient manner explaining things to me repeatedly if need be in turn keeping me calm and confident. I feel fortunate to have found him and hired him to be my representative through out these times. He assisted me in family matters, as well as Real Estate, Wills, Trusts and other Legal matters. I have been very pleased and satisfied with the result and his representation. When I was uncertain how to proceed he was there to give me direction, dependable at each turn of events over time. Therefore, developing a sense of trust, in knowing he would help me. I would highly recommend him to others without hesitation in need of a lawyer in court or otherwise.
I feel fortunate to have know him and am appreciative of the work and time he has given me, and believe you will be too if in need of an Attorney. He gave me his undivided attention while we were in discussion of Matters repeating the details to make certain I fully understood the facts moving forward. It has been a privilege knowing him these past years, assisting me in different areas of the law with success. I am thankful to Doug for his help and again would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

Doug is a skilled attorney as well as a patient and kind man. He is an excellent communicator and he kept me well informed. Doug was thorough and diligent, always working to secure my best interests.

Throughout the process, Doug Zirkle covered all the possibilities in a most thorough manner. Although he is obviously well qualified in family law, he patiently explained details to me and was never condescending. Replying to my e-mail and phone inquiries in a prompt fashion, Doug was genuinely concerned that I completely understand whatever situation was discussed. At every step, he was well-prepared. Ending a forty-seven year marriage is never an easy task, but Doug’s knowledgeable and compassionate guidance was certainly appropriate and appreciated.

Natalie made the best out of a bad situation. Divorce sometimes comes out of nowhere, and when children are involved the emotional toll that takes can be paralyzing. Natalie and her paralegal Diana did an amazing job walking me through the process with great communication and advise. Many times she had to ground me in the facts even when the outcome seemed to be unfair. Her knowledge of the law and the process made things turn out the best I could hope for. Sometimes the results aren't what you want, but she was able to explain how in the long run it would protect me. If you need someone on your side I can't recommend her enough. A+++

She made the process of divorce so easy. Due to the nature of the case(Domestic violence and children involved) her experience really reassured me. I appreciated that she was always just an email away and if I needed to schedule some time to actually talk over the phone about something she was usually able to get me in fairly quickly. She didn't use legal jargon, instead she made sure to explain the process in a way I was able to understand. I would not have been able to go through this process alone and Esther was the best choice in representation. If she was unable to assist personally, someone from the firm was able to step in and make sure I was taken care of. I highly recommend Esther!

Ms. Brilliant took on my case as the Plaintiff in a contested Order of Protection. I am so appreciative of her management and care in my case. She went over the details as often as we needed to so she could understand the full scope, beginning to end, and her honesty, compassion and professionalism one-on-one and in court were a tremendous comfort. If you're in the unfortunate circumstance of heading to a hearing, get ahold of Esther. She's the best.

I recently used the services of Michael B. Halladay for a pre-marriage contract. Mr. Halladay was outstanding in every sense of the meaning!
He was very knowledgeable about the issues of such a contract, knew the various laws that are unique to an Arizona marriage, and he took the time to completely, and in a down-to-earth manner, explain the details of how the contract should be written ... and why.
I would not hesitate, at all, to recommend the services of Mr. Halladay for any probate, personal, business or family legal issues. He was simply outstanding!

Maricela handled my case very well. She expressed she cared and was always well prepared. I was extremely happy with the outcome of our court hearings and she pursued my requests despite our differences in opinion. I was delighted with the outcome of her approach and was motivated by her boldness in court. My ex-spouse seemed to back out of a continuance that was scheduled part due to Maricela's performance. He was quite adamant about having his way at the beginning, but later Maricela's persistence helped push him to come to an agreement. I was very well pleased with Maricela and how she presents herself before the Judge and how she uses good judgment in her approach. I have to say although I'm happy it's all over and I won't be going through more heartache in court with my ex-spouse, I'll really miss her! Rest assured that Maricela will address your concerns! I felt she was reasonable in her billing and fair minded in her approach. At the end of it all, I loved having her by my side!

Family Law issues are probably one of the hardest situations to deal with, especially when your children are involved. Ms. Meza was recommended to me by another attorney, and I could not have been happier with her services. She specializes solely in Family Law matters, so you are getting a true expert in the field...not someone who dabbles in it. She is very knowledgeable, intelligent, and passionate about what she does. She will give you a very fair assessment about what she thinks the potential outcome of your case will be. You can feel confident going in to a courtroom with her representing you.
If you are looking for a fair, ethical, intelligent, articulate, and exceptional attorney you will not go wrong selecting Ms. Meza.

When our family was threatened with homelessness by heartless bureaucrats, as a judge she gave us a strong written decision that ended their persecution. Subsequently, we did have lunch together a few times, and had some very good discussions. She is compassionate and understands the law and the purpose of our Constitution, and is a staunch defender of the powerless.

f you are in need of a divorce lawyer, look no further... Mr. Simonson will take such good care of you, you will be planning your next! I am so happy with how I was represented, I hope to be married a day after the divorce decree is signed just to have them back in my life. When I got the email thanking me for and wishing me the best my heart sank. Do you remember when your first crush broke up with you, that is how I felt. The kind emails and reassurance through it all made me think to myself sometimes, this must be heaven. I will be retaining them today for my second, third, and maybe fourth divorce.
Honesty, integrity, kindness, and laughter when you need it sums up Mr. Simonson!

- 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.

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.
