Meet Michelle J. Perkins, Esq.

In 1996, Michelle co-founded Owens & Perkins alongside her grandfather, C.D. Owens, who began practicing law in 1949. That decision fused decades of old-school values with modern legal expertise — and the firm has been serving Arizona families ever since.

Today, Michelle is recognized as one of the most accomplished family law attorneys in Arizona, with particular depth in divorce cases involving significant assets, complex property division, and business valuations.

What Our Clients Say

★★★★★

4.8 out of 5 based on 241 Google reviews

★★★★★

"I interviewed 31 attorneys when my ex wanted to divorce. I'm an expert in hiring and it's what I have done professionally for 30 years. I reduced it down from 31 to 5 attorneys and then 3rd round interviews with 2... truly she was my pick from the beginning. Michelle is smart and she cares. She's always 3-4 chess moves ahead of the other attorney, and sees the whole board and how everything will play out."

Charles — Google Review, August 2024

★★★★★

“Michael Crane delivered nothing short of outstanding representation... Surgical precision, top-notch documents, and specialized jurisdictional understanding of the unwritten rules that are layered beneath the already complex Arizona Family Law Procedure.”

Lyle F. — Google Review, December 2025

★★★★★

“Michelle was a BLESSING to have by my side throughout my divorce process. She was able to diffuse several potentially disastrous situations with my ex. Her level of professionalism and integrity are hard to come by in the legal profession today.”

Sam — Google Review

★★★★★

“First-class legal talent. Owens & Perkins has a straightforward approach and it was comforting. Their ability to devise creative strategies to complicated legal problems is to be rivaled.”

Jackie M. — Client Review

★★★★★

“Michelle not only moved my divorce case along but... she stayed focused to my case, never showed her own emotions and continued to be the utmost stellar professionalism from beginning to end. If I were a teacher grading her paper, I would give her an A+ Excellence with stars.”

Donald H. — Google Review, January 2025
