- ★★★★★Disorganized and messy
anonymous · family law ·
Adam is a funny guy, but do not hire them to defend or start your petition for dissolution. His team is disorganized and they miss really important stuff. I don't think he and his group possess the integrity to fight for you, They are good at collecting on bills due but lack the know-how to truly fig ht a contested divorce.
- ★★★★★Witty, Creative and Strategic
Michelle S. · family law ·
Adam is the kind of attorney you want; quick on his feet, passionate about his profession, plans his next moves knowing what OC/OP will do, and reminds me that he is the lawyer while his leadership and certainty shine. Not to mention, his personality is full of humorous wit that helps take the edge off intense feelings and fear. The quick wit of an attorney is more crucial than one that can find superficial answers on the third page of google. This particular skill yields results in trial and in interactions with the courts, OC, etc. Adam methodically considers OC's next move and strategizes his client's next appropriate move to stay ahead. My conversations with Adam are intelligent where we often consider different plans and when I get a little too bossy and act like a 'know it all', he is quick to remind me who the attorney is, which demonstrates that he is not a pushover and remains focused on the best logical outcome, not the emotional one. My ex and I have found ourselves in a high-conflict co-parenting situation, which is most unfortunate for the children. His narcissism and feeling of defeat prevents us from redirecting the wasted energy in court to our children. But with Adam by my side, he has taken on this burden and stress while I continue to be a strong steady rock for our children. I trust Adam with something far more valuable than my life, which is my children and their best interest. I would recommend Adam and never hire any other divorce attorney. As I have a feeling that my ex will ensure Adam and I are lifelong pals.
- ★★★★★Destroyed My Marriage
anonymous · family law ·
Destroyed my marriage of close to 20 years, and helped tear our beautiful family apart. Also, stole all the current and future blessings that God had given my wife and I, our kids and our futures! I hope that you experience the same in your own family and that another attorney destroys your marri age and family like you destroyed mine!
- ★★★★★Very impressed and happy with the service
Diana · family law ·
Single abused mommas?? this is the girl you are looking for. Let me just tell you... When I was served divorce papers I was a stay home mom of a 8 month old ... that hired the first firm I could find between the naps of my son. I hired Rowley and Chapman and 18 k in legal fees later and they weren ’t even able to get me even child support. They obviously didn’t have my best interest but the interest of getting the last of my savings. My ex had a scumbag of attorney who advised him to do evil things to me to get rid of me and out of the picture of him and my son. (Supposedly one of the best Lds family law attorneys in the East valley, but seriously I was dealing with a couple of Cowards, perverted, evil men who managed to get me out of marital home with lies and a false order of protection just because I requested in temporary orders to stay in Marital home to take care of my newborn and my ex to go with his mother who lived 15 minutes from marital home. It was in the beginning of the Covid lockdown. I found Ashley through prayers and guided by Angels I think and Azlawhelp.org. In her profile it said she had experience with abuse. My ex was financially, emotionally and mentally abusive but I couldn’t really figure out what he was trying to accomplish until it became very clear. I was an international bride/wife with no idea of family court in the US. What a nightmare!!! I was lucky to find Ashley and I think she was a good fit because she went straight to the point, made me understand how family court works in AZ, didn’t take advantage of me, and I feel she educated me during the process. I was certainly clueless. All I can say, is that she didn’t allow those cowards to walk all over me, and leave me completely destitute and without my son like they were trying. Ashley is young, tech savvy, straightforward, honest, I don’t know who trained her, but she is very educated and with lots of experience for her young age and I think the best quality is that she doesn’t take advantage of her clients by educating them. I predict she will become one of the best female family court attorneys in AZ, maybe even a judge hopefully a Judge. I pray more attorneys follow her steps, because unfortunately lawyers are not regulated by tax dollars like realtors, teachers, etc. so make sure you go to a good person. Because most attorneys have lots of power and poor regulations and many can rip you off. God bless you Ashley.
- ★★★★★Excellent Communication
anonymous · family law ·
From our first meeting until my divorce was complete I felt like I had her undivided attention. She explained everything in detail from my rights to what to expect in court. And She was right! I was pleased with the outcome for myself and children. She was worth every dime I spent.
- ★★★★★The most compassionate attorney
Sherry · family law ·
I had met Ashley while she was helpingbwith Paul De Blanc's office. I was a victim if domestic Violence, and already divorced. When Ashley stepped in to help, I have to say her presence in court and with my case was impressive. Many of these negative reviews must be from the opposing side. Ashley was always on top of her game and knew the law. She protected my boys and that help she gave us, those boys are now grown and very healthy men. We are grateful for Ashley and her help with my (boys) ... family. She communicated abd was prepared for every hearing and made sure we were heard.
- ★★★★★Miss Donovan does not play about your time neither her time
anonymous · family law ·
Wasn’t for Ashley and her team I would have never gotten custody of my daughter. She is one of the best attorneys in the valley. She is worth your money.
- ★★★★★Sincere Representation
Doug - Phoenix, AZ · bankruptcy ·
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 compas sionate, 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!
- ★★★★★Trust, comfort, and professionalism at a time of personal uncertainty.
Chuck · bankruptcy ·
At a time when my marriage had failed, the only option available to me under the financial circumstances I faced was to file for chapter 7 bankruptcy. Bruce became a source of comfort and straightforward advice to help me get through the ordeal. He never failed to address an issue I had raised or ans wer a question that may have appeared trivial to some. Bruce kept in contact by providing reminders of documentation that I may have overlooked throughout the process. Bruce's advice, expertise and understanding was appreciated and present right through to the final court decision. Thank you again Bruce for all you did for me.
- ★★★★★Contract Dispute
Karen H. ·
Bruce helped my family with a very sensitive case. We appreciated his attention to detail and concern for helping us reach a reasonable solution.
- ★★★★★Bruce is the best
Paula ·
Bruce picked up the ball that another lawyer had dropped. He came in under the gun and picked up the ball and ran all the way to the finish line for me. I have and will continue to recommend him to my friends. He gives his all for his clients.
- ★★★★★Chapter 13 Success!
Cindy · bankruptcy ·
Filing bankruptcy with the offices of James Portman Webster was the most painless life-changing process. Kim Gagliardi ensured that every detail was covered. I never had to worry about a thing. I consider completing my 5-year commitment one of my biggest accomplishments.
- ★★★★★Bankruptcy
anonymous · bankruptcy ·
Mr & Mrs Webster are an awesome team. Not only did they help me with the bankruptcy , they helped me obtain my driving privileges back after being taken for a judgment. I will recommend then to friends and family if they ever needed. Might I mention a very friendly caring staff.
- ★★★★★AMAZING!
Eva · bankruptcy ·
James and Kim were amazing in my bankruptcy! Special shout out to Kim! She was very prompt with all my questions and concerns and made time for me no matter time of day. I expected the whole process to be more stressful than it actually was and that’s only because I had the help of Webster Law Firm. Definitely recommend !
- ★★★★★5 star
Jeff · family law ·
My divorce lasted over 2 years and Jim stuck with me till the end. He has a great group of people working with him. He was very knowledgeable, and did his research, and was always professional. I will recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer, and I will use him again when I need a lawyer.
- ★★★★★Amazing Folks!
Tim · family law ·
Jim and Kim are amazing. Going through a divorce is not fun, especially when the kids are used as a tool. Needless to say, being without my kids has been emotionally stressful. In general lawyers should not be trusted. However, Jim (with his wife Kim) are truly an exception. They are amazing huma n beings who care about protecting your interest at all times. They bill a very moderate rate and are transparent about everything. Thank you!!
- ★★★★★Thank you so much!!!
Jeffrey · family law ·
I originally tried to contact a different lawyer to handle my case. When they didn't respond in a timely fashion I found Ms. Peacock. I am very happy things turned out that way. I was beyond impressed with her knowledge of the law and how it applied to me. My case was unique but her expertise an d knowledge made it a little more routine than difficult. I was very happy with how she worked to got me the results I wanted. If you need any kind of family law representation do not hesitate to retain Angela Peacock.
- ★★★★★Excellent Divorce Lawyer
Guy · family law ·
I hired Angela Peacock to help me through a difficult divorce. From the beginning, Angela was professional, organized, and compassionate. She kept me informed every step of the way, always returning calls promptly and explaining legal terms in plain language. Her negotiation skills were exceptional, and she helped me reach a fair settlement without going to Court. I truly felt supported during one of the hardest times in my life, and she explained things so well that I felt less stress. I can’t recommend Angela enough for anyone looking for a knowledgeable and empathetic divorce attorney.
- ★★★★★Amazing Lawyer
JR · family law ·
Angela was AMAZING!!!! She was quick to respond to all my questions and concerns, even after hours! I had tried to navigate the divorce process by myself, but I got overwhelmed, so I decided to hire Angela. She was able to get up to speed on my case fast. She communicated regularly with the opposi ng attorney as needed for the case very quickly, and she followed up with them in order to get answers. Angela was hoping we could settle the issues, but we were forced to attend trial. She was very professional, and we won! I am so beyond thankful and happy she was referred to me. I couldn’t ask for a better lawyer!
- ★★★★★Excellent Family Lawyer
anonymous · family law ·
It is with great pleasure that I write this recommendation for Attorney Angela Peacock. She helped represent me during the most painful two and a half years of my life. However, had it not been for the referral to Angela, I don’t know how I would have been able to move forward from the frozen and pan icked state of mind that I was in without her excellent knowledge of the law, her years of experience in family court, and her strategy for every issue. Angela explained every step of the process thoroughly to me in a manner that I understood as court proceedings at times were overwhelming. She was very timely in responding to my inquiries, and prompted me when deadlines were nearing. No matter what the meeting, court appearance, etc. Angela was always well prepared. She was extremely organized and skilled when presenting settlement letters and negotiations. She presented facts and issues in the most professional manner during mediation, hearings and at trial. I truly believe that Angela worked tirelessly on my case, she knew all the facts about my case off the top of her head (plus she had the hard copies to prove it), and she fought hard for me. I was an emotional wreck when I came to Angela, but she was a solid rock and stayed committed to helping me every inch of the way. I would definitely recommend Angela to represent anyone who is involved in a family law case. Sincerely, LWD Former Client
- ★★★★★Excellent and extremely knowledgeable Lawyer!
Meredith · family law ·
Angela Peacock is everything you need a family law attorney to be. Her knowledge and expertise are without fault. She is empathetic and truly listens to her clients, treating them like family. Yet, she is realistic, explaining clearly what the possible outcomes are within the constraints of the law. She creatively seeks out each potentially beneficial resource to aid in the best possible resolution of each case. I have recommended Angela to numerous friends and colleagues over the years, and they have always been happy with her services.
- ★★★★★Amazing
Andi Coffee · family law ·
I am so pleased that I hired Emi. She is amazing. She is fighting for my case specifically for my son. She truly cares. She is also very accessible when I have a question or a concern.
- ★★★★★Outstanding.
Tanya · family law ·
I retained Emi and Jay several years ago to represent me in a high conflict child custody case. I could not have been happier with the outcome. Emi helped me look at the case realistically and was always prompt in response to my questions. Should I require future representation, it will be with Hall and Underwood.
- ★★★★★Horrible Experience
Rob Marshall · family law ·
Getting divorced is a very lengthy and horrible process generally speaking. This is why having a lawyer that understands your needs and supports you through the entire cycle is critical. Recently I received notification from Emi that she no longer wanted to represent me, just a short time prio r to needing her the most – in court. Not only was the timing an issue, but the way my case was dismissed by her without regard for my personal situation or circumstances was very disappointing. I paid to have proper representation but most of all, to have someone to depend on when needed. - I obviously never received it.
- ★★★★★Emi Koyama Review
Mathew · family law ·
I hired Emi to represent me about 2 weeks after my daughter was born. From day one she was amazing about communicating with me. During a stressful time like determining parenting time, etc., having someone like her being able to answer questions promptly and guide me in the right direction was reassu ring. She fought hard for me and my daughter, but was also honest about expectations. If you're looking for someone to help you, has amazing communications skills, is quick on their feet, and will always have your best interest at heart, then hire Emi!
- ★★★★★Simply Amazing!
Carrie · family law ·
Emi was nothing short of amazing in guiding me thru one of the worst and stressful experiences in my life! She came into my custody battle very late on (my fault) and worked so hard on it! She didn’t hesitate to answer any questions I had at any point and responded quickly and trust me mine wasn’t an easy one! She settled my case completely in my favor and didn’t stop until I was happy! Emi you are truly amazing at what you do! I cannot express how thankful I was to have Emi represent me! If I ever need to go thru this again you bet I would call Emi right back! She is truly amazing!
- ★★★★★Harper Easterling Law is a Great Choice

- ★★★★★Fantastic lawyer and team!
anonymous · family law ·
Steph and her team are great! I was nervous because I have never done anything like this before. She explained everything to me so I understood it. Her staff is super nice. I like how they kept me up to date on my case. I would definitely recommend to everyone with any family law case.
- ★★★★★Awesome attorney -lifesaver
Kiley · family law ·
I recently had a consult with Steph and she was truly amazing. Night and day experience from a previous family law consult I had. She is tenacious, knowledgeable with case law, and validating. With the information she provided me I was able to tell my partner what direction I would head in with this attorney and he agreed to my terms with mediation given everything she told me we would do as a team (it scared him). I will forever be indebted to her and will be recommending her.
- ★★★★★Very helpful
Marc · litigation ·
Christa was amazing! Any questions or concerns I had were answered in a timely manner. We got everything we wanted in our case. None of these cases are fun but with her knowledge of the system and laws she made it very easy. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer/team. Everyone in that office that I was in contact with was amazing! If you need a great lawyer I would highly recommend Christa!
- ★★★★★Very Highly Recommend!!!
Lynn ·
I can't say enough good things about Christa Banfield. She is highly skilled, determined and knowledgeable! Very responsive, professional, and caring about not only my case but also about what I was going through. Christa worked tirelessly to fight for my rights and my case had a very successful ou tcome!
- ★★★★★Professional and Positive Counsel
Katy · family law ·
Ms. Banfield went beyond the expected and was cognizant and supportive of my desires throughout the whole divorce process. Her professionalism and knowledge were unmatched by the opposing side. She was always a consistent positive presence even in the most emotional times.
- ★★★★★Will recommend to everyone
Jessica · family law ·
Christa Banfield is the best! She explained the process in detail. Always made me feel that she had my family's interest as top priority. Never made me feel that she was too busy. She always tried to keep the cost down. There is no one else I will ever go to and I will refer her to everyone that a sks.
- ★★★★★Professional, understanding and reliable
James · family law ·
Nobody ever wants to hire an attorney and go through a divorce but if that day has come, I highly recommend Christa Banfield. Christa represented me and always kept my best interest as the main focal point of the divorce proceedings. Her legal fees were extremely fair. I never felt like she was tryin g to upsell or extend any legal proceedings. I honestly felt like she was more focused on my best interest than what I was. She is a lady you can trust and who will always pay attention to the little details. She has a high level of professionalism and compassion.
