- ★★★★★Great Legal Services
anonymous ·
It was such a pleasure working with Lisa and Russell. They were very attentive, listened to my requests and concerns, and were very professional. They were also very responsive and completed my legal services in a timely manner. Great experience overall!
- ★★★★★Unprofessional , biased and ready to throw you under the bus

She doesn’t seem to understand the needs of her clients and seems Intimidated and judgmental by what allegations opposing counsel make on her clients . She questions me in a judgmental way on allegations leveled by opposing counsel and quotes ethics as a reason to withdrawal from counsel . It almost felt like defending myself to my own lawyer and literally had to explain myself to her about the false accusations. Terrible service for 400$/hr .
- ★★★★★Fired!
anonymous · family law ·
I fired Lisa as my attorney in my divorce. I do not believe she has the experience or personality to be an effective divorce attorney. I realized during the discovery phase that she simply was not aggressive enough with opposing counsel. After losing confidence in her, I hired an aggressive attorney to finish my divorce which finally settled at ADR. My petition even had to be amended because of her negligence. Now that my divorce is final, I am glad that I found a better attorney that helped me get the best settlement possible. Even if your case seems straightforward, just remember that no one knows how the opposing party/counsel will respond after you file for divorce. Best of luck in finding a better attorney!

Not only was Lisa intimidated by the court room setting, the judge, and the defendant… We learned that she even filed the wrong papers and sent the other party the wrong information. She’s a little too green to be practicing law and doesn’t have the experience when a client really needs it. With as much money as she charges and the fact that it directly impacts a family and children, I would encourage you to go somewhere else.
- ★★★★★Its important you give your best in providing whatever kind of documentation to your lawyer that way there job is easier.

She is very awesome! She keeps you on track when we are discussing business and she is straightforward with you. She tells you how it is. She doesn’t sugarcoat anything! She works really hard for you!
- ★★★★★Exceptional attorney who gets results for clients and provides superior representation.
Kathryn · family law ·
I contacted Mr. Ari Cohn for assistance with a last minute hearing which was critical for the safety and wellbeing of myself and my young son. Mr. Cohn and his colleague, Natalie Marchese, went above and beyond to communicate with me about the case, explain the legal issues, strategy and potential ou tcomes. Mr. Cohn is an expert at understanding and using laws and legal precedents to get the best outcome possible in court. Thanks to the work of him and Ms. Marchese on this case we ended up with the most favorable outcome possible in court. I am grateful for their knowledge and expertise and skilled approach to handling courtroom litigation. Mr. Cohn and Ms. Marchese were very thorough and responsive and exceeded my expectations. I cannot recommend them highly enough for any legal needs. I will absolutely use their services again for any representation I may require in the future.
- ★★★★★Beyond Amazing

Ari and his wonderful paralegal Gloria helped me beyond words. Ari is a true gentleman and professional and watching him shine in court is a work of art. They’ve helped change my life with all they did for my family and I’m extremely grateful for their hard work and personal attention to my case!
- ★★★★★Very Helpful
anonymous ·
I’m very grateful for both Atty. Ari Cohn and his paralegal, Ms. Gloria with all their help. They helped me get these things off my plate while I deal with my basic situation coming back from overseas. They were considerate with financing too. It wasn’t easy for me to ask for help, but they did. Sure it was their job, but I wouldn’t be able to do it myself without them.
- ★★★★★Ariel and Gloria (paralegal)
Alice ·
Ariel was on top of things. He was very thorough. Both Ariel and Gloria were very cordial and courteous. I am out of state, and they communicated well despite the distance. If I ever need assistance again in Arizonia. He will be the one I call. Both Ariel and Gloria returned calls quickly.
- ★★★★★Outstanding representation!
Thomas · family law ·
I contacted Cantor Law Firm because of their overall high regard in Arizona and I was assigned Mr. Cohen as my attorney. We had a fairly long and detailed consultation on the telephone and he gave me his advice on how he would represent me. My ex-wife was using COVID as an excuse not to see my chil dren and a few silly stipulations that were included in the initial parenting plan. Mr. Cohen was a bulldog for me! He told me that we could file contempt against my ex-wife because of her failure to follow the parenting plan. I "won" my case and got everything I wanted. Mr. Cohen and his team kept me informed thorough out the process and I never had an unanswered question. I highly recommend!
- ★★★★★A compassionate attorney with highly skilled trial experience
Isabel · family law ·
My ex partner was increasingly difficult and our situation became contentious fast. Travis was my second lawyer and the first counsel had encouraged me to settle and take whatever I could get since it was hard to prove the toxicity of the situation my son and I had been living in. Temporary orders in my favor was incredibly unlikely and he agreed to take my case just a week prior to the hearing. Despite a very skilled opposing counsel, Travis was a star. I could not be happier with the results of my custody agreement - I got near everything I requested.Most of all, the skill he showed has made my ex much more reluctant to trifle with me which has made coparenting a lot easier for my son and I.
- ★★★★★Mr. Get it Done
Brian · family law ·
Travis Owen has been my attorney for nearly a year now. We have battled my ex's antics and falsehoods in the courts, the police departments, and even at my children's school. He has shut down each of her lies, false Protective Orders (2) and assisted in an Injunction against harassment for me against my exes boyfriend when the moron threatened to kill me...TWICE. Travis is BEYOND professional and thoroughly accommodating. I’m not an easy man to deal with, and Travis is a man I KNOW gets that and has worked so well with me and got the job done while Maintaining his own personal integrity and professionalism. I have served under many esteemed 4 star generals and admirals and can say that this man is of a rare breed that lends itself towards both leadership and compassion for those in his charge. Any person in need of support in the legal service field during their time of crisis of family need not look further for this man will get it done. I AM A BLUNT MAN, and a combat Army veteran. Let me say this, I don't do "wait and see" or "have patience" and this man and his team are above and beyond any and all I could have expected or asked for. It may seem expensive but like anything in life, if you want quality this is where you need to go. All of the attorneys are great, but Travis Owen and Lindsey (his paralegal) actually care and will work the midnight oil to protect you and your loved ones...especially from crazy. Thanks Travis and Lindsey!
- ★★★★★Lawyer Review for Travis J. Owen
Clayton · family law ·
My entire experience working with Attorney Travis J. Owen and his legal team was a very positive and reassuring experience. Upon my receiving notification of legal matters concerning child support/child custody, I contacted Attorney Travis J. Owen for an initial consultation regarding questions I ha d pertaining to my case. Mr. Owen took my call, listened to my concerns and thoroughly explained to me options for a path forward. To ease my concerns of not having retained a lawyer in the past, Mr. Owen informed me of available resources to review different lawyers in order for me to make an informed decision prior to retaining the services of any lawyer. Once I reviewed credentials, I made the decision to retain his legal services. Mr. Owen and his legal team began immediately working on my case in a timely manner, remaining in constant communication with me during the entire process. Any questions I had during this process were answered immediately and with my best interest at the forefront of each decision. I never felt pressured or hurried throughout the duration of my case. Mr. Owen was very knowledgeable with Arizona child support/child custody law, and made suggestions which were highly favorable to my case. Mr. Owen was punctual, trustworthy, and exemplified integrity. I would highly recommend the legal services of Mr. Travis J. Owen to anyone needing responsible, respectable, knowledgeable legal services.
- ★★★★★Thankful
Shuja · family law ·
Travis was an immense help throughout my whole divorce, he was able to settle and sort everything out, avoiding trial. He listens to his clients and truly has their best interests at heart. Would definitely recommend!
- ★★★★★Travis has been an excellent attorney.
Dominic · family law ·
I consulted with 10 attorneys before deciding undoubtedly on Cantor. Travis has given honest and given best advice in every situation I’ve been in through out my case. I’m currently back with him on my second case and wouldn’t even consider going to another lawyer. He goes above and beyond. He is as honest as the day is long and fun to work with. His goal is to do as much as he and the firm possibly can for you and your rights. You truly do pay for the best and get the best and in a family law case that can make all the difference.

Danielle · family law ·
Michael Clancy was a pleasure to work with. His professionalism, expertise, and willingness to listen put me at ease from our first meeting. His attention to detail and staying on track in my case was what impressed me most. We set out for a quick, clean fast divorce, and that is exactly what he help ed me achieve. His office is always ready, available and attentive. I consider myself fortunate to have found him and to have benefited from his professional services. I highly recommend him! -Danielle S.
- ★★★★★Very Professional and Knowledgeable Attorney
Brice · family law ·
I had a divorce case previously handled by two other attorneys. I was not happy with many aspects of the court order or the ongoing custody and court order violations from my ex-wife. Michael compiled a tremendous amount of supporting documentation, worked with her attorney try not going back to co urt and ultimately got me nearly everything I was after (e.g. increased parenting time, enforced accountability for custody violations through a parenting coordinator, child moved to school of my choice and several other items). Michael is polite, professional and aggressive enough to get the results I needed. I would recommend him to anyone needing a family law attorney.
- ★★★★★Amazing Attorney
anonymous · family law ·
We are currently in a case with Mr. Clancy as our counsel, he is very attentive, empathetic, knowledgeable, and always on top of situations as they arise. He knows how to prioritize situations and will respond to urgent situations after hours if he feels they truly require his input and it cannot wai t until the next business day. He actually cares about our family and the well being of my step-daughter and has been very supportive of my husband and I as we seek to make sure that she is in the best family/home situation she can be. He is also very aware of our financial situation and seeks to help us find ways to cut costs without having to cut corners or lose the quality in the services and advice he provides to us.
- ★★★★★Honesty, Integrity, and Knowledge

Michael represented me in a child support case that was rather complicated (in my opinion but not his). I have an ex-husband who owed me nearly 25K in back child support from an old order that was no longer in effect now that we had 50/50 custody. After 2 years of getting along and splitting the ki ds equally my ex decided he wanted me to pay him child support for our two kids since I was now earning more than him (he still owed the 25K and we still had 50/50 custody) and he not only wanted a significant amount of money but he wanted to be "paid back" for every minute that he had the kids or fed them or drove them somewhere that happened during my parenting time time. Keep in mind I have a job, he did not and it was by his own choice to avoid paying the arrears. So confused by what was happening I sought Michael's advice based on the referral of a friend and he explained the laws surrounding the circumstances and gave me a best and worst case scenario. Throughout the entire process I always felt informed of where we were and he never put up with nonsense from my ex and I never had to deal with it at all. The relief of knowing that I was in good hands and could go on with my life while Michael took care of this situation was worth far more than anything I paid him. I didn't have to engage emotionally, or stress out, or spend hours figuring out how to compile and respond to documents. I didn't even participate in the negotiations that were attempted before we went before the judge, Michael knew what I wanted and he was more than capable of fighting that battle without me having to deal with getting upset trying to deal with an irrational ex-husband. The end result was great, the case laid out before the judge was clear and concise and he highlighted the greed and irrational demands my ex-husband was making. The judge's decision is one I am happy with and I would definitely use Michael again.
- ★★★★★HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!
Michelle · family law ·
I hired Michael Clancy just when I was about to give up on an existing post-decree case which I started with a different attorney over a year ago. Michael is knowledgeable, upfront and personable; he gave me the confidence to continue and settle my post decree case. I knew he was secure, capable and could handle my case and represent me well. He did everything he could to ensure a great outcome for the modification of my current court orders to help my son have a more stable mental, social and physical well-being, which to me is priceless! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND him to anyone who wants to be in the best possible hands during one of the most stressful events that could happen to any parent that wants the best for their child/children. Thank you Michael for fighting for my son's safety!! Also, his paralegal, Alison, was awesome and very helpful!
