OP Law has handled each of my major life and business events requiring counsel over the last seven years. I would not be where I am today without Ms. Perkins and her experienced and professional staff. I could not give a higher recommendation.

To Mr. Owens and Staff: Just a short note to thank you for representing me in court for my case. I’m grateful for your professionalism, knowledge, and understanding for my circumstances. You made me more comfortable and less anxious during the process and in my life.

I want to thank you Michelle from the bottom of my heart for your patience and kindness. To me you have been more than my attorney. You have been a true friend. I am looking forward to seeing you.

I have only high marks for Michelle Perkins of Owens & Perkins and can not recommend her and her team enough. Michelle is professional, responsive, and with her guidance we were able to navigate the complicated probate process in a timely manner. We recently went through a very difficult probate in another state, when we suddenly found ourselves involved in another probate in AZ. Based on previous experience we were prepared to deal with another complicated lengthy legal process. Michelle made things easier by moving things along in a timely manner, presenting us with straight forward answers, and recommending additional services where needed to take care of real estate transactions, estate sales, etc. Overall we found her expertise and advice invaluable. I would not hesitate to hire Owens & Perkins again or recommend them to others.

CD and Kim, thank you both for all of your patience and hard work during my divorce. It was a very difficult thing for me, having to accept that my marriage was over when it was not what I wanted. I truly appreciate all your kindness.

There aren’t enough words to express my gratitude for everything Michelle Perkins and her staff have done for me. In my opinion, they are the absolute best attorneys in Arizona and I was blessed to have found them. I have used Michelle and members of her legal team to handle a number of different legal issues, including a complicated divorce, litigation, various lawsuits, and finalizing a will & testament. I always got the best service and the best results. Michelle and her team are highly knowledgeable, very skilled, strong litigators, good listeners, compassionate and caring. They were aggressive when they needed to be, were always focused on my best interest, and diligently resolved issues quickly and efficiently. Additionally, they were conscientious about minimizing my legal costs. Michelle and her team possess a high level of integrity and honesty. Michelle was always positive, comforting and treated me like a member of her own family. No matter what my legal needs were, I felt cared for at all times and knew that they are doing the best job in representing me. I highly recommend Owens & Perkins. They are indeed the absolute best law firm in Arizona.

The Owens & Perkins office staff is unfailingly polite and uber professional no matter what time of day, no matter what I need, e-mails, phone calls, every interaction I have had with the Owens & Perkins staff is #1 out of all the hundreds of lawyers I have worked with.

We cannot thank you enough for all of your help and tremendous work with our case. We are forever grateful to you as you have helped us make our family complete! Thank you!

Michelle, Thank you so much for making the estate planning process so easy and for your concern about us and our family. You were such a joy to work with and so patient with all of the questions from our son. You are now part of our family!

I am a Phoenix attorney. Michelle Perkins did an outstanding job as a neutral Judge Pro Tem for one of my cases. It presented a fact pattern of unusual complexity, complicated further by the deep mistrust between the two sides. She navigated all of that adroitly, immersed herself in the details without taking shortcuts, listened attentively, thought creatively, pushed firmly when appropriate, and lent a purposeful steadiness to the process that was essential if settlement were ever to be achieved. As an impartial facilitator of a settlement, she earned the highest marks. Rarely, if ever, have I seen a person in her role remain so committed to building a platform on which settlement could be achieved. Most people would have given up, but her steadfast efforts as a neutral gained my respect, my client’s admiration and our mutual gratitude. I would not hesitate to engage her as a private mediator on future cases I might have, and I trust that her impressive array of skills will be successfully brought to bear for the future benefit of many litigants.

Thank you for this speedy resolution. I would not have recovered that much without your help

This may be a first in the History of Divorce – a letter of recommendation for your wife’s attorney!!! First, a little background: In August 2013, my wife hired Michelle Perkins to represent her and filed for divorce. After 17 years of marriage, we had accumulated assets and had ownership in a successful small business and numerous other mutual holdings and interests. While our children are adults, our agreement did involve spousal maintenance. The point being, it was complicated and there was plenty to ‘fight over’. But we were not “at war”! And if you are reading this in the early stages of a divorce, I implore you, go to a paintball course, but don’t use a divorce proceeding as a means to inflict pain for the hurt you feel! The ricochet will hurt you too!!! The other key factor is that I did not rush out and get my own “representation”. I hired an attorney for “consultation”, but not to “represent” me. This is an important distinction; since I was not being “represented”, I was able to speak directly with Michelle and my wife: Whereas if I were being “represented”, no conversations would have occurred without my attorney being present too….and you know what happens when you get two of them together (sorry Michelle)! I figured I could always go that route if necessary, but in the end, I never needed to. I have no doubt that Michelle is capable of “going to war” on your behalf; I’m just happy that she never had to. What impressed me first with Michelle was rather than jumping-in and saying “here’s how it is”, she took the time to understand us, our tone, and our objectives. She did her job and “represented” my wife. She ensured the issues were clearly understood and made sure the agreement was fair. But she also recognizes that an amicable solution requires negotiation and give-and-take, by both parties. In many ways, I found Michelle to be a facilitator. She has many years of experience and has seen structures and agreements that work, and those that don’t, and was able to provide suggestions throughout the process for us to consider. Perhaps our biggest challenge was not reaching agreement, but the Agreement itself. It was complicated legal document. Michelle took our agreement in principle and crafted a sound legal document that can be clearly interpreted and enforced. A poorly written agreement is detrimental to both parties! Michelle enlisted independent support from other attorneys in her office who were unfamiliar with our case to ensure the Agreement was unambiguous without further explanation. And despite multiple iterations, largely on my part, Michelle never demonstrated frustration or irritation. Lastly, I found Michelle to be personable, yet direct. She communicates clearly and effectively, and always maintained the highest standard of professionalism. Divorce isn’t fun, but we did find moments to laugh. And thanks to Michelle, we did not destroy ourselves or each other, and we remain great friends! With heartfelt gratitude for helping us through a very difficult process, I highly recommend Michelle Perkins.

I wanted to thank Ms. Perkins for her help in the mediation. This has been a very stressful situation for us over the past year, but the conclusion of the claim and her handling of the mediation really put things at ease for us, and will finally allow our friend’s passing to be peaceful. I wish there was more that I could do to express my gratitude for the service that Ms. Perkins provided, and I truly hope that she knows how much her generosity in her Pro Tem work does for the community.

I appreciate your true integrity and detailed attention to my case.

Thank you, Mr. C. D. Owens, tremendously for your wise counsel on a problem that could have turned into a legal fiasco. With amazing perspicuity, you’ve shone the light on a dark and dreary moment and removed us from the terror, confusion and sleepless nights. Thank you again for your brilliant and desperately needed legal advice. We would certainly recommend this great firm ”Owens and Perkins Law Firm” to our family and friends.

Life should never be taken for granted. At a very stressful time in mine Owens & Perkins helped me remain on my feet. Their legal advice and positive attitude were un-compromised when challenged. Having Owens & Perkins as my counsel made me believe something positive would come out of my terrible situation. Thank you Owens & Perkins for having my back!

I went with my son to Owens & Perkins to help him with the decisions that he needed to make during his litigation. Michelle Perkins was so helpful and everything was very timely. It was very helpful that everything Owens & Perkins did was clearly explained with time tables that actually worked. I was informed of all major decisions and payment was always explained ahead of time. I never felt rushed and everything was very clear. Even the billing department was great!
