Michelle is the Tiger you want to defend you!

Ok, let me be straight and to the point, Michelle is one bad ass attorney! She makes Harvey Specter look like a rookie. My ex came after me and my company for such an unreasonable amount, that when we went to Temp Orders Court and to Mediation, she was able to defend me in such a methodical and professional way that it made opposing counsel look like she brought a spoon to a gun fight! Michelle is smart and she cares. She’s not there to hurt your ex but rather show compassion by gently but directly showing the result of their bad decisions. She’s always 3-4 chess moves ahead of the other attorney, and sees the whole board and how everything will play out. I wanted my ex to get enough so she was taken care of, but not to a point of hurting me. Michelle handily won, in my opinion, and although no one wins in a divorce, I certainly didn’t get raked over the coals like my ex’s attorney tried to do to me. I have already referred Michelle to two other friends and they think she is not just an incredible and savvy attorney, but she is kind and has the highest of integrity. She was able to negotiate a very amicable parenting plan for me and my children and did it with class and empathy.
I interviewed 31 attorneys when my ex wanted to divorce. I’m an expert in hiring and it’s what I have done professionally for 30 years. I reduced it down from 31 to 5 attorneys and then 3rd round interviews with 2 attorneys, but truly she was my pick from the beginning. I’ve done more due diligence than probably anyone when seeking out the best divorce attorney in Maricopa County. You’re welcome! :-)
If you don’t choose her as your council, then you risk your ex hiring her and then you are going to lose. I tried to make this testimonial as straight shooting, so you don’t make a poor and uniformed decision.
Michelle Perkins is your best decision to represent you and the needs of your children. I am so grateful for all her help through one of the toughest times in my life.

Her level of professionalism and integrity are hard to come by in the legal profession today.

Michelle was a BLESSING to have by my side throughout my divorce process. She was able to diffuse several potentially disastrous situations with my ex, with her calm and understanding demeanor. Her level of professionalism and integrity are hard to come by in the legal profession today. Thank you, Michelle, for getting me through the hardest time in my life.

Michelle is one of the best. She continues to make the right decisions when it comes to estate planning and financial advice. She is a true professional and just all around great to talk with. We had some complicated real estate issues and she guided us in the right direction. It is truly a pleasure to have her to consult with.

Divorce can be hard. Owens and Perkins staff guided me through my journey with compassion, tact and professionalism. My lawyer (Michael Crane) and paralegal (Lindsey Duran) were both available to me whenever I reached out (which I had many questions). They explained every step of the process. Communication was consistent and clear. They were quick with replies and took action swiftly. All documents were drawn up and filed in a timely manner and copies were provided. They were so kind. I never felt like just a client. I truly felt like they were really on my team. When I was unsure how I wanted to proceed, they gave advise and guidance to help me make decisions. I had confidence in navigating my situation because I knew they had my best interests at heart. Thank you for making everything right again! I truly recommend using their services. I give them five stars!

I cannot recommend Michael Crane highly enough. He represented me in two separate family court cases, both of which ultimately went to trial. Throughout the entire process, Michael was steady, knowledgeable, and extremely prepared.
What stood out most to me was the level of trust I felt with him, especially while testifying as a witness. Michael guided me through questioning with clarity and confidence, which made a stressful situation feel manageable. His ability to anticipate issues, explain strategy, and keep me grounded during trial made a real difference in my experience and my case.
Family court can be overwhelming, but having an attorney like Michael, who is calm, strategic, and genuinely invested in his clients, gave me peace of mind. I’m very grateful for his representation and would strongly recommend him to anyone needing experienced and reliable legal counsel.

Both Lana and Michael Crane were incredibly helpful during my divorce process. Lana was on point and quick to respond with general questions and concerns that I had and Michael was patient, attentive, and most importantly supportive with a sound direction in guiding me thru a challenging time.

I got the best of every world with this representation; results speak for themselves. My ex-spouse retained the same attorney throughout our family law case. Still, Michael Crane delivered nothing short of outstanding representation, despite unfortunate and uncontrollable circumstances that forced me to switch attorneys twice during the proceedings. He is a family law exclusive attorney with a high level of experience and a tactical way of thinking that kept us ahead of the 8-ball. He is confident in his ability and not afraid to give candid advice when my knowledge was falling short, or I was going to make a blunder that would have cost me dearly. Surgical precision, top-notch documents, and specialized jurisdictional understanding of the unwritten rules that are layered beneath the already complex Arizona Family Law Procedure. Thank you so much for your help.

Michael Crane was so amazing. I have spoken to many lawyers and there are some out there who don't listen to me, but Michael did. He made me feel heard, addressed my concerns while also giving me information that I needed to move on with my case.

I cannot speak highly enough of Michele Perkins of Owens & Perkins, whom I have worked with since 2019. She has been at my side when I needed her. My most recent experience with Michele was my estate planning and setting up my Trust. She walked me through the whole process, making it very easy to understand and her office did all the necessary paperwork in a timely manner. Michele is skilled and professional but she is also kind hearted and down to earth and has a great sense of humor which is something I value in a person! I have referred friends and family and will continue to do so!

I can’t say enough good things about Maya Weinenger and her amazing team. They supported me every step of the way through my divorce with so much care and professionalism. From day one, they were patient, compassionate, and always made sure I understood what was happening.

They handled everything with such calm and fairness, which made a really hard time so much easier to get through. I always felt like they had my back and truly cared about helping me reach the best outcome.

I also had the pleasure of working with Michelle Perkins who took the time to take my calls while I was still deciding on taking this step, always showing compassion and patience, never pressuring me into making a decision before I was ready to do so.

Because of their kindness and expertise, the whole process went so much smoother than I ever expected. I’m incredibly grateful for everything they did and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone who needs a trustworthy, thoughtful team to guide them through a divorce.

Inquired on a minor legal issue and Michelle Perkins called me back personally and rather than overcomplicate the matter as a means for profit, she walked me through the issue patiently and clearly at no charge. She was incredibly helpful and I certainly would consider retaining her for any larger legal matters in the future.

Michael Crane is an outstanding attorney. His rare balance of compassion, intelligence, and determination set him apart from every lawyer I interviewed. I trusted his discernment from the start, and he delivered exactly what I hoped for—strong, strategic representation and genuine care throughout.

Communication with Michael, MaKenzie, and the Owens & Perkins team was always prompt, friendly, and reliable. I felt supported every step of the way.

I highly recommend Michael Crane to anyone who needs an attorney they can truly trust to fight for them while keeping their best interests at heart.

I went to Michelle accompanying a good friend facing a very complicated divorce situation. Mchelle impressed me with her intelligence, knowledge and ability to asses, right away, the complexity of the case. She is compassionate, patient and honest.
She is also tough and fair, and would passionately advocate for your case.
I would also like to mention that Owens and Perkins staff, like Lauren and MaKenzie, are always very helpful and professional.

Michelle was just fantastic. I had provided a lot of information she was able to incorporate into the deal and we successfully completed it in record time. There was no desire or recommendation on her part to extend the process so as to create any more legal cost than absolutely necessary.

I couldn't recommend the firm higher. True pro's!

Going through a divorce .... "RUN as fast as you can towards attorney Michelle J. Perkins." Owens and Perkins Law Firm

Prior to hiring Michelle Perkins I was with a different law firm for almost 2 years and my case at the time continued to drag out hearing one excuse after another by my previous attorney to why it was taking so long, as well his justifications to his high monthly bill costs. The stress left me crippled and I didn't know how to stop this emotional and financial bleeding but to just end it, but how do you do that in the middle of divorce proceeding!

I am from the south with a great upbringing. I realized that I needed and "old school" type soul with honesty, integrity and for sure someone with compassion. I know in general that attorneys that handle divorce cases are focused on numbers and business as they should be, but I was alone, very sick, angry and very scared and needed emotional support even though generally that is not there job.

I was under so much stress at the time and knew what I wanted in an attorney now, after experiencing the previous attorney, as well as the stress of so much lost money and nothing ever being accomplished and the divorce stagnant in the waters. One might call my meeting Michelle, a "Devine Intervention," because all I remember at the time was Michelle at the top on my computer screen every time I googled search and there she was with what appeared to be the "old school manners and smarts" that I wanted and desired. I watched a video of Michelle on her website where she worked with her grandfather in the family law firm and noticed her many awards and accolades as well and again fitting the "old school well mannered, professional and compassionate conservative" which is exactly what I was looking for.

During my initial meeting with Michelle she listened very carefully to my situation and as well all my mis-emotions ;-) and her responses were intelligent and right on par. I told Michelle that my health could not take the stress so she had to push this case forward as fast as possible while at the same time being sure my future was protected.

Michelle not only moved my divorce case along but during the same period of time she sadly lost her dear father and was also care giving for her over 100 year old attorney grandfather and grandmother. All through my time working with Michelle she stayed focused to my case, never showed her own emotions and continued to be the utmost stellar professionalism from beginning to end... and somehow all at the same time, she even managed to deal with my emotional distresses! Michelle read every line in my divorce decree, staying up endless nights while falling asleep on her own sofa to comply with my wishes to get the job done and my divorce was final November 2024 with excellence.
If I were a teacher grading her paper, I would give her an A+ Excellence with stars.

I am writing this review for my wife.

My wife hired Michelle in 1997 to represent her in her divorce/custody case. It was a difficult divorce, as many are. Michelle represented my wife for years, making her feel comfortable and prepared her for possible scenarios and explaining the processes along the way.

Recently, after more than a 20 year lull for my wife’s case, more problems. The first person my wife called was Michelle. Michelle is a force to be recorded with.

No flashy advertisements or high rise offices. Just a really, really good law firm grounded in expert legal knowledge and representation. Look no further.
