Amy · business law ·
I have consulted with attorney Mathew Holm and found him to be extraordinarily knowledgeable on business law matters. He is very professional and goes out of his way to provide detail and attention to every client. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking an attorney for business related matters.
- ★★★★★Felt like someone was holding my hand the whole time
Jordan · business law ·
I found Mathew through a friend who's used him in the past. I started a company but was overwhelmed with all the steps (LLC formation, Trademarking, and Employee contracts). Mathew seamlessly handled all the steps with me so I could concentrate on hiring, marketing, and doing the business daily t asks. He was accessible the whole time, always personally answering his phone and calling me back within 10 minutes. He found ways to save me money. Everything was stress free and his fees were lower compared to all the other attorneys I consulted with. Mathew is a younger, sharper, straightforward, knowledgeable, experienced, trustworthy and the best business lawyer in Arizona!
- ★★★★★A lawyer you can trust and rely on
Tam · business law ·
We had some issue with the transfer of ownership from one of the partner to us. Although the case seemed to be straight forward, there were some serious disagreement between the partners. We hired Mathew to help us resolving the deal. From the first time talking to Mathew, he was very kind, attenti ve, and professional. He tried to gather all information related to the issue, did some research, and got back to us with detailed strategy and how to proceed. Mathew didn't even require us to hire him before providing us all significant amount of consultation time. He made sure that we were completely comfortable with the whole plan prior to starting drafting all the legal documents. Because of the great communication between Mathew and us, everthing went so smoothly beyond our expectation. Once the contract and other related documents were presented to the other partner, the agreement was reached quickly, and both parties were happy. We are very please with the professionalism and the caring from Mathew. We will definitely come back to him for future help in any legal issue.
- ★★★★★Definitely recommend Attorney Holm
Danielle · business law ·
I was searching for a business lawyer in the Greater Phoenix area and found Attorney Holm on google. I was searching for an attorney who was able to handle a complex business matter that I was experiencing with my startup business. I liked his website, I thought it was informative but not overdone an d it had just the right info that I was looking for to gather info about the practice to determine if I wanted to reach out or not. I had set up 6 consults with other attorneys and all 6 seemed overwhelmed or expressed they wouldn't be much help because of how convoluted the circumstances were. I sent an inquiry to Attorney Holm, and he promptly responded with availability for a consultation. We set up a consultation and it was a lengthy meeting. He asked an abundance of questions and really wanted to understand the intricacies of my business as well as get a better idea of the unresolved issue. Attorney Holm was confident he would be able to assist me and so I hired him to represent my business. It's been two years and I am still happy with my decision. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and he takes the time to explain everything in terms I understand. He always follows up to ensure I've received the info he was sending, and he makes sure I'm comfortable with the plan moving forward. He was professional but also personable and comfortable, so it was not an awkward or painful experience. I will continue to utilize his services and I would highly recommend him to others.
- ★★★★★Knows his stuff!
Valerie · business law ·
I found Mat after searching for a Business and Intellectual Property Lawyer for my newly launched company. He's extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and he instantly makes you feel at ease. Talking to Mathew was like talking to an old family friend who has your back. He was very personable while maintaining his professionalism, informative without sounding so calculated and robotic, wasn't pushy, approachable, and he has a lot of enthusiasm about his practice, which is infectious. He's young (but extremely experienced) and switched on. He made me confident I made the right decision in retaining him. His rates are really reasonable as well. You can't go wrong with going with Attorney Mathew Holm.
- ★★★★★Highly recommended!
Kyle · family law ·
I retained Cantor Law and Marilyn Gutierrez to represent us against a frivolous case brought by DCS. We (my wife and I) knew the accusations against us were bogus the whole time and had no choice to retain legal representation to fight back. We found our way to Cantor Law, and Marilyn Gutierrez he lped us understand the process and best way to navigate through the situation we were facing. Marilyn helped us get the case dismissed, and helped us to be able to move forward after one of the most stressful situations of our lives. She was always there to answer questions and give her advice. I highly recommend Marilyn and Cantor Law.
- ★★★★★David White is an Outstanding Divorce Attorney
Barbara · family law ·
David White successfully supported and advocated for me during a difficult divorce. He is smart, experienced, strong and ethical. David White has my highest praise and thanks - he was helpful and outstanding to work with - definitely the attorney I want by my side and having my back.
- ★★★★★Mecca of attorneys
anonymous · family law ·
I had a very complex case and sis not know where to turn. This attorney was recommended to me by a friend. As I went and met with him as well as his team I discovered that I would have a solid, honest attorney backing me. At every turn he fought for myself and my children and won. He listened to my c oncerns and sis not gauge me for every dime I had. I have never met such and attorney or a team like this. I would highly recommend this attorney. He is honest, which is of utmost importance when it comes to fighting for your children. He is very frank with you, does not sugar coat but gives you complete facts, again of utmost importance. He listens to your concerns and makes expert decisions. I cannot speak highly of this attorney. I have sent and will continue to send as many referrals as I come in contact with. Law offices of David D White is an awesome office.
- ★★★★★Attention to Detail is Spot ON!
Meagan · business law ·
About two ago I was woken up with the police standing at my door. Apparently, someone had stolen my 8 foot by 10 foot trailer. It had come detached from their vehicle and crashed into a parked car sometime during the night. Lucky for me we didn't loose any thing. However, trailer was banged up very bad. The insurance that I had on the trailer was really dragging their feet getting the assessment, then offering an amount they would give to replace it. During this time I had gotten my own estimates and knew what it was worth. The insurance took 2 months to offer a VERY low amount. I was very frustrated as there was no way I was going to be able to replace it with the amount they offered. So I decided to call David White for help. He got on the job right away. He collected all my documents from the insurance and quotes from the places I had taken the trailer to. With in a week I had a new offer for more than twice their previous offer. He found out they were miss calculating the age of the trailer as well as basing their estimates off the incorrect type of trailer. The attention to detail that he put forth on this was amazing considering it was just a trailer. I was very happy using him for his knowledge in accident and injury law. I have and will continue to refer my friends and family to his law office. I haven't had to use him for his divorce services, although he has helped a close friend with her divorce and she was also happy with his services.
- ★★★★★Highly qualified and compassionate
Janet ·
David White and his staff are the perfect mix of expertise and compassion. David worked relentlessly to secure my situation. His diligence secured my future and that of my children. I am eternally grateful.
- ★★★★★Great service
Amy ·
David is fair and honest man. He Helped me so much at a time I felt lost and unsure. I am thankful for the work he did on my case.
- ★★★★★Excellent initial consultation
Terry · real estate ·
New to Phoenix, I found myself needing a lawyer regarding a difficult landlord situation. I did a google search, wrote down a few names and randomly made my first call to Scott McWilliams for a very reasonably priced $50 initial consultation. I explained the issue to Mr. McWilliams and he provi ded me with clear, concise information on AZ law, then gave me the specific statute numbers so I could also easily reference them myself. He advised me on the pros and cons of multiple courses of action, offered excellent solutions I had not considered, and gave me guidance on how to proceed, depending on which course of action I would eventually take. The issue is close to being resolved, and I may need Mr. McWilliams' expertise to review the final agreement, but he got me to the goal line with a $50 consultation. It was, without a doubt, the best legal services value I have had in the past 40+ years.
- ★★★★★Great Experience!
anonymous · litigation ·
Scott and Jami were both very helpful and professional. From the moment I first received a consultation with Scott, all the way through the hearing where Jami represented me, we were treated with a high level of service and care. I would definitely recommend these two!

Consulted first, hired right away. Very professional. Answered every question into detail and went above and beyond for my situation.
- ★★★★★Great experience
Terry · family law ·
We used this law firm in the beginning to assume temporary custody of my granddaughter. The temporary custody turned into a complete adoption. This firm handled all of the legal twists and turns that we could not have possibly handled on our own. We are so pleased with the outcome. Because of this la w firm our granddaughter, now daughter, is safe and has the opportunities she would never have had before.
- ★★★★★Great Consult
Jules · litigation ·
For $50.00 and I think 30 - 60 min of his time, he reviewed the docs I brought and advised me where to begin with what forms to file. He advised for the amount I was being sued for, it wouldn't be cost-effective for him to take my case, but offered extended consult services at his rate of $325./hr Thank you, attorney McWilliams for taking the time to meet with me.
- ★★★★★Good listener, knowledgeable, compassionate
J.S. ·
My experience with Will was amazing. There are a lot of things about my case that are very difficult to talk about with another person let alone someone I don’t know. He listened to everything I had to say with compassion and his undivided attention, and that made it so easy to be open with him. At t he same time he was realistic and upfront about what I could expect, which gave me so much confidence. I recommend Will without hesitation.
- ★★★★★BEST ATTORNEY for an ABUSER - Will Lie and Help you Murder Your Kids
Alec Lydia Mater · family law ·
He'll fight hard for you... even if you're dangerous to your kids and later murder them. Especially if you're an abuser with documented domestic violence! If you're being accused of being unsafe, hire this guy! He'll twist the facts - afterall, I see he actually has a degree in psychology, had to h ave seen all the warning signs and still decided to leave out the most crucial details... WINNING is all that matters to this guy!
- ★★★★★Thank you
Hilderbrand ·
Laura made me feel very comfortable being able to freely talk to her. She was very knowledgeable about the issue I was dealing with and provided all the information I needed.
- ★★★★★A Knowledgeable and Experienced Family Attorney is Very Helpful and Comforting in Court
Gwelle · family law ·
If you are familiar with the family court system, an attempt to protect yourself and your family without a knowledgeable and experienced lawyer can be disastrous. Tracy is a great person to have by your side. Before and during court, did her homework, arrived early and prepared, let me know of a goo d plan, focused all present in court on all on the real issues, showed intuition of the courtroom climate, adjusted appropriately to keep everyone on course, and in the end helped win the hearing. She is a friendly and analytical legal force.
- ★★★★★Tracy came highly recommended -for a reason!
anonymous · litigation ·
From the start Tracy was upfront; honest and incredibly ethical. She was straightforward on how things worked and provided reasonable expectations. IMO the current system is near impossible to survive alone and I have a great deal of respect for those quality lawyers like Tracy working to make a di fference and provide the best representation possible for their clients. I hoped for a slightly better outcome, but in all honesty began the process alone without proper legal representation. One word: “don’t”. Also, don’t try to find cases online you think are similar to yours and play connect the dots. She takes each variable into consideration. Every case is different. Going at it alone may limit your options and will not allow her to do the best job possible. She was honest and told me how it was (rose colored glasses not included) and was fair in her pricing. Very pleased!
- ★★★★★Keep looking..
Ashley · litigation ·
I hired Tracy Krall after recommendation from receptionist. I read about her online prior to consult and honestly was excited. Repensentation if Modern Law was short as my hearing date was approaching in 30 days. My retainer fee was depleated; which I knew would happen. But there was zero aggressiven ess in court. There wasn’t a follow through with questions. I felt Tracy knew extremely little about my case. Her compassion and loyalty wasn’t with me as her client. It was to build repore with the other attorney. Due her excessive social aspect in court talking to the other attorney regarding his lab top etc. I was left with things unsettled in court. Things unanswered. That I myself had to do tons of leg work to simply have what should have been done during a 3 hour hearing that wasn’t. It seems they are more concerned with earning business rather than supporting your case. I personally would have chosen another office. Candice was my paralegal. Although it was a short time she did very well with her responsiveness, compassion and urgency.
- ★★★★★Cool and Calm
Tavis · family law ·
Tracy remained cool and calm under some tough circumstances. The opposing attorney would constantly try to use intimidation but Tracy would have none of it and held her own. Tracy was one person who was able to settle me down and talk through the issues so everything made sense. In the end, the se ttlement was exactly where I figured it to be and child support was a little less than expected. I would definitely recommend Tracy.
- ★★★★★The Best Decision You Can Make, Regarding Your Family Court Matters!
Kevin · family law ·
Without hesitation, I strongly recommend Tracy Krall! I cannot articulate enough how grateful I am for her help. Her efficiency and professionalism are equally matched by her sincerity, no nonsense, and character. She very quickly minimized the minutia of the other party's opinions and the hardshi p endured of the previous two Family Courts' rulings; giving confidence in her abilities, after five years of a very high conflict joint custody. For once, I can say the Post Decree Modification, was in the Best Interest of my Sons! I am grateful that I learned of her practice, and of my experience with her representation! Unquestionably, Tracy Krall, Esq. is the best choice you could make for all your Family Court concerns!
- ★★★★★Truly Outstanding Advocacy!!
anonymous · family law ·
I am incredibly grateful for everything Rebekah has done for my daughter and me. Her steadiness, strategic thinking, and genuine care made all the difference during one of the most stressful experiences of my life. She was always thorough, responsive, and made me feel prioritized, even while juggling a demanding caseload. In court, Rebekah was everything you would hope for in an advocate. She was composed, prepared, sharp in her examinations, and focused on presenting the truth clearly and effectively. Watching her work gave me a sense of calm and confidence during moments when my nerves were overwhelming. Rebekah also supported me on a personal level. She helped me stay grounded, encouraged me, and made sure I felt prepared for my own testimony. I truly felt like I had someone in my corner who cared deeply about my child’s safety and wellbeing. After reviewing the Judge’s ruling, it is clear how much of Rebekah’s advocacy is reflected in it. Her work was thoughtful, diligent, and impactful. I believe the outcome was as protective as the law allowed because of her exceptional preparation and skill. Thank you, Rebekah, for walking through these last two years with me and for fighting for my daughter with such heart and clarity. From one mother to another, thank you for everything you poured into our case.
- ★★★★★Expert Legal Representation with Genuine Compassion
Justin · family law ·
I had the privilege of being represented by Rebekah Burz of Cantor Law Group during a particularly challenging separation matter. Rebekah’s professionalism, strategic insight, and exceptional client care distinguished her at every stage of the process. She approached my case with both rigor and em pathy—listening carefully to my concerns, providing clear and practical guidance, and ensuring that every decision was informed and considered. Her ability to balance sound legal analysis with genuine compassion made an enormous difference during a very difficult time. What stood out most was Rebekah’s steady composure and her wise, measured counsel. She demonstrated not only a deep understanding of the law but also the rare ability to navigate sensitive personal issues with dignity and respect and compassion. I hold Rebekah Burz and Cantor Law Group in the highest regard and would confidently recommend her to anyone seeking an attorney who embodies both professional excellence and humanity in practice.

- ★★★★★Integrity, Trust, Wisdom, Compassion
Jeff · family law ·
Integrity, trust, wisdom, and compassion are the words that come to mind when describing Rebekah—both as a person and as a family lawyer. She listens carefully, takes thoughtful action, and consistently puts her clients and their families first, always working toward the best possible outcome within the letter of the law. I am deeply grateful for Rebekah. Even in the most heartbreaking situations—especially when children are involved—she remains steady, knowledgeable, and strategic. She creates a clear plan, brings calm to difficult circumstances, and leads with both strength and compassion. With Rebekah and her team, you have true leadership and a team you can trust.
- ★★★★★Ethical, Professional, and Efficient

- ★★★★★Insurance Liability Claim
Aaron · personal injury ·
Extremely Satisfied, I was pulling into a storage facility that was flooded out due to rain. I was unaware of the actual depth and there was no closure, markings, nor warnings. My car was sunk disabling the car and ruining the engine. This was something I attempted to resolve myself. With absolu tely no success. The facility was not responsive, did not take any helpful action and blamed me for the indecent. Refusing to take any responsibility and promising me i would not receive a dime. After weeks of run around I hired Florence Bruemmer and Attorney's. I could not have been more happy about the decision and out come of the case. Not only did she take all the stress out of the process she was calm, clear and razor sharp about the steps we were going to have to go through. Sure enough she worked the case until they folded They came to realized she was not going away. That she was prepared to take this all the way to trial and that they would not have any chance of a win or positive outcome. The settled for much, much more than they promised they would never pay! -- So happy, I was able to get a car and was made whole once again. --- Thank you Florence!!
- ★★★★★The Best!
Christopherobyn · litigation ·
To say Florence restored my faith in lawyers is an understatement. I was in search of a lawyer to help me through a civil case and Florence was the only one who took the time to look over my case and respond to my inquires. She not only responded but she responded in great detail. I knew right the re she was special. I hired her and we were victorious on that case. I have been consulting with her ever since on various issues. I am now currently involved in another legal matter which she is helping me on. As always, she has been beyond helpful. I ask a lot of questions and she has always been just an email away from answering every single one. What I think is the most amazing thing about Florence, is her communication. She consistently responds within hours, at most, to my numerous emails. I personally find this absolutely incredible. I feel blessed to have found Florence and if I am ever in need of legal assistance, in any fashion , she is my girl!
- ★★★★★Excellent Attorney

I am incredibly grateful to have had Sarah by my side during my divorce process. Her expertise and professionalism were evident from day one, from the guidance she provided as well as her level of responsiveness. Sarah navigated the complexities of my case with ease, providing me with reassurance and confidence throughout the entire journey. Not only is Sarah highly knowledgeable in Arizona divorce law, but she also demonstrated a compassionate and understanding approach, which made the emotional aspect of the process more bearable.

Carrie did a fantastic job representing me. I had a rather complicated case, but Carrie was able to make me feel as comfortable as you can feel when going through a family law situation.

I would recommend her to anyone seeking counsel for their family law case!

- ★★★★★VERY impressed…Caring, compassionate, knowledgeable and SO smart
Laura · family law ·
Carrie is beyond intelligent and her knowledge of family law is so impressive. I have been entangled in court for over 8 years and have had multiple attorneys. Not one attorney comes close to Carrie and the outcome of my case would never have been possible without Carrie. Carrie guided me, explained things thoroughly and truly had my children’s’ best interest in mind. I wish I would have found Carrie years ago. She handled my case from day one and took off running and never backed down for one second from my ex who loves the courtroom more than his children. My case had many complex layers from years of court battles and Carrie took control of the chaos and handled it incredibly well. Every single phone call, question and email was answered and I was always kept in the loop. I always enjoyed talking with Carrie as she speaks very well and her vocabulary is so impressive in and out of the courtroom. Carrie, and her assistant Allison, are a dynamic team. If you want a solid, smart and powerful attorney fighting for you and more importantly, your kids, call Carrie. I promise you, you’ll be like me and wish you’d have found her earlier.
- ★★★★★Knowledgeable and caring

Whenever I had a question staff would find the answer for me.
- ★★★★★A Trustworthy Attorney in Complex Cases
Amber · litigation ·
I am thoroughly impressed with the way Melissa Benson and her team handled my highly complex case. Melissa was able to identify the most cost-effective solutions. When the opposing side unnecessarily escalated the conflict, her advice and resources became pivotal in turning the tide of my case. It wa s clear that Melissa has earned tremendous respect among her peers and, most importantly, judges, due to her extensive knowledge, integrity, and outstanding reputation. Having Melissa represent me in this challenging situation not only increased my confidence but also alleviated a considerable amount of anxiety that had built up over three years of little progress. Remarkably, she was able to resolve my case in under a year and effectively thwart the opposing side's attempts to revive the conflict. I highly recommend Melissa Benson for anyone seeking a dedicated and skilled attorney!
- ★★★★★Fantastic and Caring Legal Attorney
ONA · family law ·
Melissa and her wonderful team helped me during very trying time with my divorce challenge case. My previous attorney had warned me that I would most likely lose. Melissa however from the get go was confident and based on the facts knew I had a solid case. She quickly helped me in responding to motio ns and fending off the unreasonable legal attacks I faced. Thanks to Melissa, we would win complete legal victory in court and I was vindicated. I would definitely work with her for any family case if ever needed and would highly recommend her services.

- ★★★★★Above and Beyond!
Jacqui · estate planning ·
don't even know where to start! Shawnna Riggers and her team are incredible in every way! Even though I live on the other side of the country, she went out of her way to assist me with a guardianship case for my grandson who was originally from AZ. Although she initially felt I wouldn't need h er services, she still gave her time and knowledge to guide me. She was so kind and understanding and went above and beyond to ease my concerns and make legal recommendations. I did eventually retain her services and she adjusted her fee (a significant reduction) based on what she thought I would need. After that, she ended up reimbursing most of the retainer. I would have paid her DOUBLE for the peace of mind that she provided for me...but she gave me my money BACK. She still reaches out to me to find out how the case is going in my state. This is a person (and team) who are ethical (yup, I said it...this LAWYER is ETHICAL) and truly concerned with doing the best for the families they represent. Do not hesitate to contact them! You won't regret it!
- ★★★★★A nightmare
anonymous · family law ·
I do not recommend Shawnna Riggers. Please do your research on an attorney who will care about you, your child and your case and not only about the money. I hired her in 2016, she was paid up front and she only appeared to the initial hearing. She showed no real interest in my concerns but very agree able with the opposite party. My case literally almost went downhill during her representation. I had to terminate with her representation because she was on vacation and had nothing prepared before the hearing but instead used the excuse "you won't be able afford my representation if we go further" only assuming. She was initially paid everything in full, even paid for calls I made to her in which she wasn't of any help to provide guidance or proper advice. Most of the representation, I felt alone and always looking for other attorneys advice. It was just the worst experience ever, specially when you're talking about your child. I'm glad I found another attorney who did care and my case ended in my favor. This attorney is just a waste of time and waste of money the only thing gained was stress.
- ★★★★★Very dedicated attorney and business woman

I have known Shaunna for over a year now, and I have been involved with her in an attorney mastermind group. Shaunna is dedicated to her clients and improving their experience in and outside of court. She continues to do everything necessary to stay ahead of the constant technology, legal and busines s changes and challenges. Any client should feel comfortable in her and her team's hands.

There was no problem getting the desired outcome (albeit my issue was not complicated) and I would highly recommend Michael's services to anybody. Thanks very much!

Michael Crane was my attorney during my child custody case. He was amazing. He walked me through what to expect and worked hard during trial. The outcome was in my favor and I’m more then satisfied with my time working with him. I highly recommend.

I've had 3 lawyers since I got divorced 10 years ago and this is the first one who actually did what she said and said what she did. I'll admit, it was a rocky road at first. Kristen is relaxed and hard to rattle, and that was new to me. She helped calm me down when things got dramatic and asked me t o be patient with ththe process, and I'm glad I did. Before trial she explained exactly what to expect and when we went to trial she was calm, organized and assertive. Our ruling was in my favor and almost exactly what she predicted it would be. hopefully we don't go back to court again but if we do I'll call her in a heartbeat.

When I hired Kristen I was a wreck, scared I was going to lose my kids. She listened to me throughout the process and was very reassuring. She was thorough and fair in representing me and always worked to fix things instead of creating more conflict with me and my ex. Thanks to her we settled witho ut having to go to a trial and I was happy with the terms we agreed to. Since then my ex and I have had a few issues and Kristen has always been willing to take her time and talk to me about how to best resolve the situation. She wasn't just a great lawyer, she was a great teacher too, and I learned a lot from her about how to get past my anxiety and co-parent with my ex.

Kristian is amazing. Not only smart but truthful. She isnt money hungry like all other atttorneys. Kristian cares about her clients and not just money. She helped getting our child support from almost $800 to half. She went above and beyond and fought hard for us. We never heard her say anything nega tive she always had high spirits for us and said everything will be ok. Sure enough everything is ok.

Choosing a good family lawyer is the difference between being able to be with my children or not. I was lucky enough to find what I feel is the best family lawyer in Arizona. Kristen truly cares about what is right and wrong and proves that in her work. I am also very pleased with the fact that she does a lot of her own work and doesn't rely on a paralegal, so she's always up to date on the proceedings. She is just a very genuine person that happens to be great with her job as well.. To all father's or mothers going through what I've been through Kristen is hands down the best at what she does. sincerely, Paul

I retained James Wees in 2020, nearly 10 years after the dissolution of my marriage, when my former spouse filed a series of unfounded motions against me and attempted to use the family court system and our son as a pawn during a period of conflict. Mr. Wees helped me prevail at critical points in th e case and continued defending me through additional unfounded Orders of Protection, Emergency Motions, and “unsubstantiated” CPS involvement. Through his persistence and careful legal strategy, he helped secure the return of my attorney fees and other expenses from the opposing party. He also helped ensure my son received appropriate mental health support, and today we share a positive and healthy relationship. I am very grateful for his steady advocacy and would confidently recommend the Wees Law Firm to anyone facing complex or high-conflict family court matters.
