Family court can feel like being dropped in a foreign country where you do not speak the language and must defend everything you value. It can feel like attorneys and courts are making up terms to keep themselves in business. We’ve been there ourselves and know the stress first hand, which is why we created this plain English guide to make the court process more accessible.

Time To Hire An Expert
Hiring a family law attorney is advisable when facing legal matters such as divorce, child custody disputes, or spousal support issues. An attorney can provide expert guidance to navigate complex legal processes and protect your rights. It is especially important to consult with a family law attorney when there are significant assets, contentious issues, or the need for specialized legal advice.

I was referred to Colleen and her team by a friend of mine. When I reached out, I was met with prompt reply and added to Colleen’s schedule immediately. As someone who has been representing herself through an entire (messy) divorce with kids, being met with kindness, understanding, and the knowledge that these women have, was something that I will forever be grateful for. Colleen and her team have come up with easy to follow outlines, that truly took so much weight off of going to trial as a self representative. I would absolutely refer any of my family or friends going through similar experiences to them.

Colleen and Sharon make a great team and have been a bright light in the very dark and unjust cesspool we call the family court system of Arizona. There is a lengthy list of nasty, unethical and passive family lawyers here in the Valley, and I've been victim to four of them before finding AZ Family Law Ranch. This firm is different...If you have a family court matter, I'd highly recommend them. They are the best I've found.

Steven Cole has been my attorney for almost a year. He is amazing and I don’t know what I would do without him representing me. He’s very experienced, incredibly smart, communicative, knows how to respond to difficult opposing counsel, and stays on top of my case. He also gives me solid advice. Mr. Cole truly has all of the qualities that make an excellent attorney. I feel safe with him. As a survivor of domestic violence, safety for myself and my children means everything.
