Divorce & Family Law

I would like to commend the exemplary performance of Ashley Watkins and Diesel. In particular, Mr. Zackary Markham. I was privileged to have him as my counsel. His talented abilities brought forth a very happy ending to my case. His level of knowledge and experience was evident from the very beginning of my divorce. It was quite comforting,to know I was in such good hands. Mr. Markham is truly a master at his profession and a wonderful asset to the justice system. Thank you very much. Mr John K. Lacy

Amazing organization to have help settle your case!!! Not only #1 with Family Law but #1 with Civil and Criminal Law. I have and always will recomend The AWD Firm to all my family and friends!!! Thank you all for your help and assistance with my Civil case!!!

Zach Markham did a great job for our family needs. We have used Zach in multiple cases. Thanks Zach!

I didn’t actually believe I would get the settlement we asked for and I did. Thank you Zack for your preparedness and foresight In calling expert witnesses to support my settlement request.

My attorney(s) at AWD have been amazing. I can’t say enough good about them. They have come through in last-minute situations and been very supportive through my needs. If you need excellent service and attention to detail, this is a great law firm to choose.

To Mr. Zacharias Hope! He’s incredibly professional and utmost helpful in my divorce case. He is actually my ex husband’s attorney.. but he did such a great job, that I let my own attorney go. Very helpful with questions, and prompt responses… I recommend him for civil divorce cases

Great legal advice

If you need a awesome team of attorneys and Staff to help you we highly recommend Aspey, Watkins & Diesel our Attorney Michael Wozniak was extremely helpful professional explained everything he was doing. Thank you so much.

Mike Wozniak is awesome. He was on top of the case the whole time. He was able to get me everything I asked for in my case. Wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.

Above and beyond this firm went, attorney Markam and attorney Staskey weathered my naitivity, and produced a favorable outcome, their tireless campaign and due diligence was out of world-like, I would highly recommend this firm above all to handle your legal troubles and adversities!

AWD Law is the best in town! When I was looking for someone to help with family law, they were able to help with everything (finances, custody, division, etc.). The team who helped me through my case was absolutely amazing and never left me wondering what was happening next. Jenny Staskey was so helpful the entire time and provided exactly the advice I needed. There were so many finances that needed to be sorted through for the divorce and Jenny was able to walk me through the entire thing. She is an absolute genius with numbers as well as family law! She was my saving grace during all the proceedings. Everyone was very responsive and prompt with anything that was needed or questions that I had. They are very personable and care about you and your case. This team allowed for peace in a stressful time! I would recommend AWD Law firm, specifically, Jenny Staskey, Zach Markham, and Zach Hope 100% of the time! Thank you!

If you are looking for a trustworthy, reliable and knowledgeable legal representation AWD Law is the contact for you. I have first hand experience with the team and feel they have done an exemplary job assisting in federal, tribal and state related advisement and follow through.

Very awesome and informative workers. Very friendly and helpful…keep up the good work and stay blessed in helping people find there way.

Superb experience. AWD was professional and completely on top of it. Jenny Staskey was understanding, kind and prompt to respond to questions and requests. Personally think they are the best in town and highly recommend for any family court issues.

Mike Wozniak helped me out of a toxic marriage. I am so grateful to him! I feel like he understood and empathized with my situation. He did not allow my ex husband to take advantage of me and did not back down. He always replied to me quickly and answered my questions. I also have to complement his staff who were so professional and caring. Thank you Mike for such a great outcome to my case and for my new happy life!

We have had an amazing experience using Aspey, Watkins & Diesel. Zack Markham and his staff has been patient, kind and wonderful throughout the difficult guardianship process we undertook. We are grateful for the successful guidance and representation!!

Jenny Staskey was very organized and extremely patient in helping me understand the divorce process. Her decades of experience as a CPA facilitated the extensive gathering of financial information, and later, the visualization of the division of assets into a clear equalization spreadsheet. She and her efficient supportive staff really helped me navigate these challenging times. To top it off, Jenny is caring and compassionate, which made me feel even more grateful for her counsel and better equipped to face this new chapter in my life. Thank you Jenny and the whole AWD team! Most sincerely, Michele

Markham was more than a professional he became a friend. Always made me feel listened to and cared for my issues in my custody case. I appreciate all the efforts made! If you are ever in a situation would hands down recommend awd law!

Zach Markham and his team has been a life saver for me. 33 years of marriage and to get divorced is the hardest thing I have ever gone thru. I’m not divorced as of yet thanks to Zach and his patience.

I was required to hire an Attorney thru a mutual acquaintance, I found “Aspey, Watkins & Diesel”. My Attorney, Dr. Zachary Markham, handled my matter with utmost professionalism, integrity and diligence. I easily defeated my opponent. I would hire this firm again, should any legal matter arise. You can TRUST Aspey, Watkins, Diesel AND Markam.,

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.

Zach Markham at AWD law was amazing. He and Ann helped me through a very challenging divorce. They were available, kept me focused on what I needed to do to be successful, highly competent, had my best interests in mind, treated me with kindness and respect, had my back, and helped me keep costs down as much as possible. They helped keep me out of a costly courtroom and settle amicably. I feel very grateful to have been represented by Zach and feel the positive outcome is owed greatly due to his hard work. Thank you Zach and thank you Ann! I appreciate you so much.

I cannot say enough good about my experience with Jennifer Staskey representing me in a divorce . Her knowledge, skills and overwhelming ability to help me feel confident made such a difference in this difficult time. She is very personable, confident, and efficient. The entire staff there have also been excellent to deal with. She comes with my highest respect. I would recommend her to anyone with highest remarks.

Jenny Staskey and her staff were so helpful and responsive as I navigated the waters of divorce. Jenny was terrific at helping me get all discovery done and to present a fair and reasonable settlement.

Jenny Staskey helped me with my divorce. The grace and patience she showed through the entire process was amazing. It was worth every penny.

I worked with Jenny and Lynae, and they were WONDERFUL! Jenny helped me navigate divorce (with a minor) she was so supportive, knowledgeable and always answered my questions thoroughly. She made a difficult and confusing process extremely easy, and her calm and kind demeanor kept me at ease. I couldn’t recommend AWD Law more!

Zach is a consummate professional and a lovely human being. My divorce was complicated but he handled it with grace. I am truly grateful to him for his assistance during a very difficult time in my life. I highly recommend his services and that of his staff.

Working with AWD law over the last 3 years has been such a pleasure. I worked with both Zach Markham and Zach Hope through the process of a very difficult and challenging divorce. Both of these gentlemen got right down to the meat and potatoes of what was best for myself and my child to make sure that we walked away with the best possible outcome of our situation. Both of them made sure that every little detail that I provided was meticulously and thoroughly incorporated into my case and by the end it really showed. Without their help, I would not be in the position that I am today. To anyone seeking legal assistance, this firm is the right choice. In the future if I ever need legal assistance, I will absolutely be returning to AWD. Your team is incredible.

I recently worked with Zach Markham during a family legal issue and could not have had a better experience. All communication was straightforward and concise, and there was always a clear path to my end goal. Zach’s extensive experience shows in his ability to offer sound advice and present expectations to his clients. I would highly recommend him!

Mr. Zachary Markham and his team handled my case with a level of expertise that I have never experienced before. They communicated with me quickly and efficiently. My case was a difficult one; however, Mr. Markham was with me every step of the way. Thank you, everyone, at AWD, especially, Mr. Markham, for resolving my case in a caring and professional manner. I recommend your firm without reservation.

Jenny and the AWD team provided excellent legal and accounting/financial support through a tough separation process. All of the advice and support was aimed at settling things in a common sense, fair and practical manner. I am so glad I worked with AWD.

We have used the legal services of AWD on three occasions and always been extremely satisfied. Attorneys Zachary Markham and Zacharias Hope consistently demonstrate their skill, attention to detail, and commitment to integrity both in the courtroom and out. Their assistant, Sara Martinez is equally capable and thorough. All three are marked by genuine kindness and even a good sense of humor (invaluable when dealing with stressful court processes). We highly recommend their services.

This is the 2nd time I have been Zach Markhams client and I am forever grateful for the kindness,compassion and professionalism, honesty and caring, and attention to detail regarding my case Don’t look any further if you need a great firm with top notch service. Also thank you to Jenny and Ann and Kai…. And of course Zach! You are the best!

I cannot recommend Michael Wozniak of Aspey, Watkins; Diesel, PLLC highly enough for his exceptional work in successfully managing my complex international Hague Convention repatriation case. Highly recommended by and coordinating seamlessly with the U.S. Department of State and Italian Central Authority, his tireless dedication, meticulous attention to detail, and efficient approach were exceptionally instrumental in securing the return of my very young child, who had been wrongfully retained by my spouse in Arizona without my consent. Coordinating with him both virtually from abroad in Italy and in person for the hearing itself in Flagstaff, Arizona, his demeanour was consistently highly professional, providing lucid and reassuring communication throughout the process. Mr. Wozniak’s expertise in navigating both international and Arizona law, with his clear, strategic guidance tailored to my personal situation and documentation, made all the difference in this rare and fact-intensive case. According to the U.S. Department of States 2024 Annual Report on International Child Abduction, approximately 1,000 Hague Convention cases are processed annually worldwide. The success rate for judicially ordered returns in favor of the left-behind parent is only 43%, according to the 2015 HCCH survey regarding the 326 return applications processed in the U.S. Against these challenging odds, Mr. Wozniak’s phenomenal legal team handled the delicate nature of the proceedings with utmost professionalism, ensuring every aspect was thoroughly addressed. Without their outstanding efforts, I firmly believe the return of my child would not have been granted. Mr. Wozniak and his team are truly remarkable, and I am deeply grateful for their life-changing support.

If you’re looking for a law firm that actually cares about you and your case and your situation then this is the firm for you. Zach Markham and Anne Thurber are a team you can trust. They will have your back.

Zach hope was my attorney, and did such an amazing job! Very attentive and genuinely cared about the case. Highly recommend.

Zack, Lynae and really the entirety of the AWD team that we have interacted with are truly great. Every individual is professional, kind and really thorough in everything that they do. With their help we achieved the results that desired but on top of that they really helped us to understand every step we had to take. This is a team we will continue to use for any future needs, and a team we will highly recommend to anyone else seeking legal aide, in our case it was a family court matter. We are very thankful that someone recommended this specific team (Zack, and Lynae) to us and we will continue to recommend them to others.

Zach Markham and his team at AWD Law Firm went above and beyond in their assistance with my case. From the very beginning, Mr. Markham showed an extreme amount of sincerity and empathy in navigating the delicate details of my situation. This level of personalized care made a significant difference. I was particularly impressed with the firm’s approach to the financial aspect of the case. They structured my case in such a way that a traditional retainer was not required. Instead, I made a trust payment and was fully refunded all costs that were not utilized. This transparent and client-friendly approach is truly exceptional. The entire team was extremely detail-oriented, from the comprehensive paperwork provided for me to fill out to the focused, insightful discussions I had directly with Mr. Markham. AWD Law Firm is an amazing firm, and I would not hesitate to utilize their services again in the future. I highly recommend them.

I’ve bugged Mike Wozniak many times about retaining/consulting him, but haven’t had the money to do so, and every time, he’s been responsive and quick to get back to me. I scraped together $400 to get an hour consultation with him to go over a strategy with him, and already he is more attentive than my previous attorney. You can tell he cares. Will update as time goes on, but I can already tell I wish I would have gone with him over my previous attorney. Maybe I would have actually had a good defense/chance in my cases.

Highly recommend Zach Markham. He is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about his clients. He made a stressful process much easier by keeping me informed and supported the entire time. Thank you Zack!!

Thoroughly Satisfying Professional Experience. Very Important issue taken care of with the utmost respect & responsibility!
