Divorce is heart-wrenching, time consuming, emotional and scary. In my case, a lawyer was essential. I am so glad I made the right choice with Zach Markham at Aspey, Watkins and DIesel in Flagstaff. I am a real person, resident of Flagstaff for nearly 8 years, married for four years. Arizona’s community property laws are confusing and frankly put those who provide the majority of the household income at a serious disadvantage. I was right there on the wrong end of the situation. Zach genuinely understood what i was going through and the financial pressure I was under. Being a local attorney, Zach knows the court system here because he is local and has been practicing in this area for many years. I believe that local experience made a big difference in this case. Although my divorce was fairly simple, there was a real risk I could lose my Flagstaff home and my ex was making serious demands. AWD Law has the same resources as an expensive Phoenix law firm. This includes CPA and legal Paraprofessional Jenny Staskey, who was able to provide forensic accounting service to deliver the defensible evidence regarding marital assets so I could make a fair offer. In the end the case didn’t wind up going to court as we settled after a few hours of tough negotiation. I am very grateful to Zach and his team for bringing this matter to a close quickly, and efficiently. The cost was fair, and could have been much worse if we weren’t so well prepared for the settlement conference. Zach’s advice was consistently right. I highly recommend AWD Law.
