Michelle J. Perkins, Esq.

Ok, let me be straight and to the point, Michelle is one bad ass attorney! She makes Harvey Specter look like a rookie. My ex came after me and my company for such an unreasonable amount, that when we went to Temp Orders Court and to Mediation, she was able to defend me in such a methodical and professional way that it made opposing counsel look like she brought a spoon to a gun fight! Michelle is smart and she cares. She’s not there to hurt your ex but rather show compassion by gently but directly showing the result of their bad decisions. She’s always 3-4 chess moves ahead of the other attorney, and sees the whole board and how everything will play out. I wanted my ex to get enough so she was taken care of, but not to a point of hurting me. Michelle handily won, in my opinion, and although no one wins in a divorce, I certainly didn’t get raked over the coals like my ex’s attorney tried to do to me. I have already referred Michelle to two other friends and they think she is not just an incredible and savvy attorney, but she is kind and has the highest of integrity. She was able to negotiate a very amicable parenting plan for me and my children and did it with class and empathy.
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 attorneys, but truly she was my pick from the beginning. I’ve done more due diligence than probably anyone when seeking out the best divorce attorney in Maricopa County. You’re welcome! :-)
If you don’t choose her as your council, then you risk your ex hiring her and then you are going to lose. I tried to make this testimonial as straight shooting, so you don’t make a poor and uniformed decision.
Michelle Perkins is your best decision to represent you and the needs of your children. I am so grateful for all her help through one of the toughest times in my life.

I trust and look up to Ms. Perkins. She rocks as an attorney as well as her amazing firm in representing my family in every situation over the years. She is a no nonsense woman and will tell you like it is. I always appreciate her time and input.

Michelle Perkins was wonderful. She gave sound advice, kept me level headed, listened to me, and even injected humor into my situation. I highly recommend her.

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, with her calm and understanding demeanor. Her level of professionalism and integrity are hard to come by in the legal profession today. Thank you, Michelle, for getting me through the hardest time in my life.

Michelle Perkins is an AMAZING attorney, she listens and is very thorough and detail-oriented. That is very difficult to find these days. And, Michelle will hang in there until the end, unlike anyone else. Thank you for everything you did for me and my mother, we can’t THANK YOU enough!!! You are absolutely the best, top-notch all the way!

Michelle is not just a great attorney, she is also a great person who cares.

I had a very good and informative meeting with Michelle. She asked the right questions and presented me with several options for my situation. I have great confidence in her.

Michelle and company helped me out with an extremely, but unnecessarily, difficult scenario around spousal support. I could not have been more pleased with the level of support and professionalism provided throughout that process. Clear and consistent communications were always there and I was always kept informed about the status and my options at any point. I felt supported, engaged, and enabled to tackle whatever decision was at hand. Michelle is a great asset to have on your side. I highly recommend her and her team.

Michelle Perkins and her team were great to work with during a difficult divorce. They are very professional, competent, and responsive.

Michelle Perkins rocks!! I have had the pleasure (and it unusual to say dealing with lawyers is a pleasure) of using Michelle Perkins and Owens & Perkins as our lawyers for the past 20 plus years. I have used Michelle for wills and trusts, probate, real estate matters, powers of attorney and other miscellaneous matters and have never been disappointed. She is always clear on the best approach and gives you the best and worst case scenarios on each matter so that you can make informed decisions. I know that she will always do her best when representing me and has been reassuring during times of stress. Her knowledge and ability to clearly and concisely explain the law and its process allows me to better comprehend each situation. She is a great advocate and a wonderful lawyer. I have never been disappointed in an outcome and admire her integrity.

I reached out to Michelle Perkins for a consultation during a very difficult time in my marriage. I knew within minutes of our initial conversation that I would hire Michelle. During this initial conversation, Michelle was compassionate, patient, a great listener, but most importantly astute to understanding an extremely difficult personality type in my (now ex). She made me feel like we would move through the divorce process together and would be able to reach a settlement with low conflict- which we did. Michelle made me feel safe, empowered, and capable throughout the entire process. Because of Michelle’s experience, knowledge, tenacity, and ethical nature we finalized the divorce swiftly within months without excessive conflict and costs with integrity and grace. Michelle kept me informed and made me feel like I was her only client at all times. More importantly, I saw first hand how much Michelle cares about her clients. I would give Michelle Perkins of Owens & Perkins 10 Stars if I could! Truly an outstanding attorney. I consider Michelle a friend and ally!

Our family has been using this law firm for over a decade to take care of all our trust and estate matters. Michelle Perkins has been there for us every step of the way. Not only is she is an extremely professional and competent attorney, she has been a caring adviser and friend. Aside from being an amazing attorney, she has also connected us with other uber-competent professionals such as accountants and real estate agents that have guided us through many stages of our family’s history. We couldn’t be more happy with her representation and we couldn’t recommend her enough to others in need of an excellent estate attorney.

After speaking with Michelle, I knew she would be working tirelessly on my behalf and would have the expertise to navigate through the challenges.

Michelle has provided me with excellent guidance on many tough decisions I recently needed to make. Thanks a lot Michelle for your valuable words of wisdom!​

Michelle Perkins was a breath of fresh air to work with. My husband and I used Ms. Perkins for estate planning. She created a trust and took the time to explain everything and its implications. I had an abundance of questions and she took the time to answer each and every one of them. Never condescending and never impatient. It was important to her that we understood what we were creating. If she was not such a great lawyer she would make a great teacher. If you choose Ms. Perkins as your lawyer, you will not be disappointed.

Michelle Perkins displays the highest ethical standards, is straightforward in her approach, attentive, timely, very experienced and gets the job done. Every staff member I encountered was pleasant and helpful.
