    When Knowledge & Experience Matters the Most!

    Unlike some other known law firms in Arizona that try to handle all practice areas, the Arizona divorce attorneys at Cantor Law Group are exclusively focused on family law. By focusing on this area of law, we are able to understand the types of issues that might arise and work to prevent them from negatively impacting our clients’ cases.

    Our  family law practice areas  include all aspects, including the following:

    When you meet with one of our Arizona family law attorneys, we will listen carefully and offer an honest evaluation of your legal issue. We will identify the strategies to deal with your spouse, that might help you to obtain your desired outcome. We can also help you understand related issues, such as the potential tax consequences of taking different types of assets in your property division during divorce cases. In many cases, we are able to negotiate settlements that fairly protect our clients, their children, and their interests. If a settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to litigate on your behalf in court through a trial.


    What to Look for in an Arizona Divorce Attorney & Arizona Family Law Attorney

    When you are going through a divorce or are embroiled in child custody, spousal support, child support, visitation rights dispute, or another family law issue, you might not know what to look for in a Phoenix divorce lawyer. You may have friends or family members who suggest that you go to the lawyer that they used for other types of issues, such as writing their wills, handling contract matters, or other related problems. When you are trying to find an Arizona divorce lawyer, the sheer number of law firms and attorneys can seem overwhelming. This can make it hard to understand what you should look for when you are searching for a divorce and family law attorney to handle your case.

    You should avoid hiring an attorney who does not regularly practice in the area of family law. An attorney who is experienced in another area of the law, such as estate planning or personal injury, might not be as knowledgeable about the family law services or the divorce process even though he or she may be highly successful in his or her own practice area. During your free child custody consultation, our Phoenix family law attorneys will help you, the parent, understand what to expect from the court, the child custody issues, and the child support process, and work to protect the best interest of your child. There are several things that you should look for when you are searching for a family law firm, including the following:

    • Experience of the attorneys
    • Whether they focus exclusively on family law and divorce
    • Their past successes
    • Whether they are willing to litigate cases through trials if necessary
    • Whether they actively listen to you and provide you with knowledgeable advice
    • Their communication styles
    • Their reputations in the community

    Experience & Reputation From our Phoenix Divorce Attorneys

    You can check the reputation of the attorney and law firm that you are considering with the State Bar of Arizona and review sites such as our  Avvo 10.0 Rating, Martindale-HubbelSuper LawyersLawyers.com, and others. Try to find a Phoenix area attorney who has achieved recognition for the quality of his or her representation. When you meet with a child custody attorney or divorce attorney for a consultation, be prepared to ask him or her a number of questions to ask an attorney so that you can evaluate his or her communication ability, knowledge, and whether you feel that you can trust him or her in a court action against your spouse.

    Choosing the right Phoenix family law attorney, for you is important. It can be difficult to determine the best divorce lawyers in Phoenix. We understand as a parent how important the best interest of your child is when choosing child custody attorneys and Arizona divorce experts to deal with family law issues or other family law matter. When you have a family law issue, you should be prepared to work together with the lawyer and law firm that you choose for a lengthy period of time before it is resolved. You will want to choose an attorney for your divorce law case who you trust to handle your case effectively and professionally. Arizona families rely on our AZ divorce attorneys to support them in understanding separation or divorce.

    How can an Arizona Family Law & Phoenix Divorce Attorney Help?

    Some people choose to file their petitions for divorce, legal separation, child custody, or child support on their own. While you are allowed to file child support, divorce, and other family law cases on your own, it is generally a better idea to work with an experienced Phoenix, Arizona, child custody lawyer or divorce lawyer. The AZ family law lawyers at Cantor Law Group have years of experience representing people in Arizona in a wide variety of Family Law service matters in court. We have the legal knowledge that is necessary to successfully navigate through the court system, Arizona Statutes, and the law to obtain good outcomes for our clients.

    Family Law services and laws change all of the time. Beyond the state’s statutory family law code, new Arizona cases from the Arizona Court of Appeals and Arizona Supreme Court impact the law. Because of these changes, our Phoenix family attorneys keep current with all of the adjustments in the law so that we can better represent our clients in court. Our child custody lawyers are also able to explain how the court process (including divorce papers) works so that you are able to understand what you might expect at each stage of your case, even in an uncontested divorce.

    When you work with our Phoenix lawyers at Cantor Law Group, you will have an advocate who is dedicated to protecting you and your interests through any family law process, including adoption and the adoption process, visitation, paternity, child custody cases, and help you deal with family relationships and your marriage ending. We are skilled at negotiation and at litigation and can represent you in the manner that your case dictates. In many cases, we are able to reach fair settlements for our clients short of trial, which can include joint custody for a parent, with that person being the custodial parent. In others, we aggressively litigate on behalf of our clients at trials, fighting for sole custody of your child. We understand the types of evidence that may be needed to support your case and can present them to the judge in a manner that clearly demonstrates your side of the family issue with which you are dealing. Hiring expert Arizona family lawyers today is important to ensure you understand your rights and receive excellent advice from a Cantor Law Group Phoenix family lawyer.

    My advice if you are facing divorce, if at all possible attempt to go the mediation route first. However, should you need a family law attorney Caleb McKay & his paralegal Jamie are an excellent team. Prior to hiring a law firm, I poured over dozens of reviews, completed multiple “free consultations”, and did hours of research, terrified of making the wrong decision. I never made it to the point of even needing a consultation from Cantor. I initially spoke to Mr. Boca for over 1.5 hrs on a Friday afternoon. At the end of the conversation he stated we could schedule a consultation. I expressed there was no need, he had already answered all of my questions & I wanted to move forward. Caleb was assigned to my case & always did an excellent job answering any questions I had, and trust me, there were plenty. I went through a marathon divorce no thanks to my ex & her lawyer. Caleb excels at making sure you are 110% prepared before you ever step foot in front of a judge or mediator. Divorce is not an enjoyable process, and it’s filled with conversations that are not easy to have. At the end of the day I’m confident I made the right choice in hiring Cantor Law Group.

    While many law groups contend to partner with only “first-rate aggressive attorneys with experience who will protect your interests”, it truly is a testament to Cantor Law Group’s discerning hiring practices that each individual I had the opportunity to associate with during my custody case could truly be defined as such. Both Rebekah Burz and Michaela Gatti not only exemplified what true ethical and competent practice in the field should look like, they were the ultimate power team ensuring continuous professionalism and preparedness both in and out of the courtroom successfully illustrating our unfaltering position in the case and ultimately achieving every aspect of our predetermined goals. The services provided by Rebekah and Michaela were nothing short of phenomenal and I highly recommend retaining the team for any of your family law needs.

    My fiance was going through custody issues with his ex-wife and it can take a toll on any parent involved. However, having Caleb McKay as our attorney during this time of our lives helped make the situation and the stress bearable. Caleb, and his paralegal Jamie Roser, are very knowledgeable and give great legal advice when it is needed. They were also very supportive and at times were a shoulder we did not realize was needed throughout the process. In the event that other people find themselves in a situation where they need a divorce or family lawyer, I would suggest requesting Caleb McKay.

    Sometimes it seems that when you are the father going through custody issues, that the deck is stacked against you. Caleb McKay was my attorney for over a year and a half, and he was absolutely essential for making sure that my daughters were kept out of the hazardous situation that my ex-wife created. Caleb and his exceptional paralegal, Jamie Roser, were always there to provide sound legal assistance. And other times they were there to be a shoulder to lean on, because custody issues can be tough on everyone, even a father. I know everyone's situation is different, but Caleb was able to help me become the primary residential parent, helped me get final say authority, and child support. When it comes to your children, I understand that it is hard to trust someone with their wellbeing, but I would put my trust in Caleb and Jamie anytime. They are not just good at their job's they are good people.
