Born and raised in Arizona, Kelly Shaffer zealously advocates for her clients during one of the most difficult times in their lives. Representation in family law matters requires an understanding of not only the law, but also the unique needs of each client going through a divorce, a custody battle, or support issue.
Divorce cases are first and foremost about the lives of the people involved. Divorce means permanent changes for both spouses and children, which leaves many important issues to address. At Shaffer Family Law, our divorce lawyers understand that the outcome of your divorce will affect the quality of the rest of your family's lives.
In Arizona, courts are willing to allow parents to reach their own agreements as to child custody and parenting plans in almost all circumstances. Of course, parents are sometimes not able to reach an agreement, in which case the court must decide.
Arizona child custody law is guided by the principles that children benefit from regular, frequent, and ongoing contact with both parents, and that the court's primary concern should be the health, welfare, and safety of children.Arizona law does not favor either mothers or fathers in custody considerations.

Kelly recently represented me on a family matter. I appreciated her thoroughness and accuracy throughout the process. I knew I was well represented. She also spent the time to explain the legal process to me in a reassuring style. Janet, her paralegal, is also fantastic and a lifeline! Great law practice and I will hire them again.

I decided to retain Kelly because I really liked her personality but unfortunately she was not a very good attorney. She took a very long time getting back to me every time I had a question and never made me feel confident that things were going to be ok once my divorce was final. I guess if you need a mediator she would be great but for an attorney that needs to be aggressive or that will be focused on fighting for you I would definitely not use her! I feel I was very patient with her and gave her several chances but ended up having to let her go & having to retain another lawyer and needless

Kelly and Janet are great people to work with. Every case is unique in it's own way but one thing for sure I got to experience is their dedication and looking out for the best intetest for me as their client and the children who are the most important in these types of cases as well as being fair and reasonable to the other party. Kelly will definitely be my go to family law attorney should I ever need it again!

You won't go wrong hiring Kelly as your attorney ! Going through a divorce is the worst. Kelly helped ease the pain with her brilliance, attention to detail, professionalism and excellent knowledge of the law. She clearly cares about you and your kids as a client, and helps find the humor in the some of the most painful stuff that comes with the territory of divorce. If you want to settle out of court she's great at negotiating on your behalf in an honest rational way that reflects family law. If you need to go to court, you will always feel confident with Kelly representing you, she's well respected
