Expert Guidance Through a Complex Custody Modification

When my ex-spouse filed to relocate out of state with our children, I was terrified and overwhelmed. I needed an attorney who was not only a fierce advocate but also understood the nuanced Arizona statutes and local court procedures. From our first consultation at Jaburg Wilk, Philomena "Mena" Patino demonstrated exactly why she has been recognized as a Rising Star. Her 12 years of focused family law experience, particularly in post-modification matters, was immediately evident. She meticulously prepared our response, anticipating every argument the other side would make. Mena explained complex legal strategies with clarity, never using jargon, and her calm, steady demeanor was a source of immense comfort during a highly emotional process. Her deep knowledge of the Maricopa County family court system was invaluable. Thanks to her strategic preparation and skilled negotiation, we reached an agreement that protected my parenting time without the need for a draining trial. Mena is the epitome of a client champion—professional, exceptionally knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in achieving the best possible outcome for her clients and their families. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
