Navigating my high-conflict divorce was one of the most stressful experiences of my life. I chose Melissa Benson at Gallagher & Kennedy based on her recognition in family law, and it was the best decision I could have made. From our first meeting in her Tucson office, her deep knowledge of Arizona family statutes was evident. She expertly handled intricate asset division and a challenging custody discussion, always explaining my options with clarity and patience. Her professionalism never wavered, even when negotiations became tense. The settlement we achieved was fair and comprehensive, protecting my future and my relationship with my children. Melissa’s strategic approach and dedication truly make her a standout attorney. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
