Christa was amazing! Any questions or concerns I had were answered in a timely manner. We got everything we wanted in our case. None of these cases are fun but with her knowledge of the system and laws she made it very easy. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer/team. Everyone in that office that I was in contact with was amazing! If you need a great lawyer I would highly recommend Christa!
Nobody ever wants to hire an attorney and go through a divorce but if that day has come, I highly recommend Christa Banfield. Christa represented me and always kept my best interest as the main focal point of the divorce proceedings. Her legal fees were extremely fair. I never felt like she was trying to upsell or extend any legal proceedings. I honestly felt like she was more focused on my best interest than what I was. She is a lady you can trust and who will always pay attention to the little details. She has a high level of professionalism and compassion.
Ms. Banfield received her law degree from Arizona State University Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law in 2010. She earned her Bachelors of Science in Psychology and Bachelors of Science in Supply Chain Management degrees from Arizona State University.

Professional and Positive Counsel
Ms. Banfield went beyond the expected and was cognizant and supportive of my desires throughout the whole divorce process. Her professionalism and knowledge were unmatched by the opposing side. She was always a consistent positive presence even in the most emotional times.

Great Legal Representation
Christa explained my divorce situation in great detail and helped me understand everything involved in a divorce proceeding. When I had questions regarding various specific situations, she provided proficient advice that made my legal matter smoother and less stressful, especially when children are involved.
Christa made sure I was informed/prepared before every court hearing I had; Christa’s experience as a family attorney was evident.
I am very thankful she represented me during the process.
If you need a family attorney to represent you, I highly recommend Attorney Christa Banfield at Stewart Law Group.

Will recommend to everyone
Christa Banfield is the best! She explained the process in detail. Always made me feel that she had my family's interest as top priority. Never made me feel that she was too busy. She always tried to keep the cost down. There is no one else I will ever go to and I will refer her to everyone that asks.

Experienced Empathetic Lawyer
We had the best experience with Christa Banfield. She was empathetic to our case and took the time to get to know us. She has experience and advises her clients that is in the best interest of a child. I highly recommend her services. What a pleasant experience and am so appreciative to have Christa on our side.

Just what I needed
Never in a million years would I have thought my wife of 38 years would have left me with zero notice for another man. But it happened. Right before Christmas. To say I was shocked and stunned would be an understatement. After a few days walking around dazed and confused, my daughter told me "Dad, I think you need to get a lawyer."
I was fortunate to find the Stewart Law Group and Christa Banfield. I was impressed with how carefully she listened to me to fully understand my situation. What I especially appreciated was how reassuring she was. After I hired her, she handled everything for me, ultimately helping me to get an excellent settlement.
For me, divorce was the worst thing I've ever experienced. I'm glad Christa was there to help me get through it. I recommend Christa Banfield highly.

Wonderful attorney and person!
Christa has been an absolutely wonderful attorney. She has been representing me and started the process of my Parenting Time / Legal Decision making and all that fun stuff since January 2018. My case wasn't an easy cut-n-dry case where she didn't have to do anything. She had a lot of work to complete and she did it very diligently and always kept me in the loop.
Opposing counsel was near non-existent as their client was also non-responsive. Christa went above and beyond to get answers. Would recommend her to everybody - which I actually do. Anybody looking for family attorney, please contact Christa. She will do a stellar job.

Custody & Child Support
Christa represented me in two separate custody cases. Both were long and ugly at times, but Christa always helped me to keep a positive spirit about things. Both cases ended up with a great outcome for me and a lot had to do with her tenacity and staying on top of things. She was always available whenever I had any questions and concerns and always knew exactly what to do with every hurdle that came up in the process. I have highly recommended her to friends and family already and would highly recommend her to anyone.

I absolutely enjoyed hiring Christa. She was always available to speak with me on the phone or via e-mail. I felt comfortable explaining my concerns and feelings to her and she made me feel more like a friend of hers than a client. I would highly recommend her.

Christa is a great person who will fight for you!
I knew when I met Christa that she was the lawyer for me. She was smart, direct and extremely knowledgeable. My divorce was final last week after a year and a half. It was a tough road and over the year and a half, Christa fought for my kids and me. She never gave up and I have her to thank for my kids and my safety. She put her heart and soul into my case. She listened to me and she never made me feel like I shouldn't fight to protect my children. When I would become frustrated with the opposing counsel, Christa would assure me that we would prevail. I will be forever grateful to Christa and her dedication to my case. I could not have asked for a better person to go on this journey with me. If you are looking for a VERY knowledgeable lawyer who cares about you, then Christa is your lawyer. She is patient, kind, educated, funny, empathetic, understanding and a smart fighter. When the opposing counsel would go low, Christa would stay focused and fight with her intelligence and tenacity. That always wins in the end. She was never intimidated or backed down no matter how hard the opposing counsel tried. Thank you, Christa. Words cannot express my gratitude to you and the time you spent with me and on my case. You cannot go wrong with Christa by your side!

Excellent Legal Support and Advice
As I searched for the right attorney to handle my divorce of a long term marrioage I wanted a lawyer that would understand not only the legal landscape but would be sensitive to how the entire divorce process was handled. I wanted the process to be as non confrontational and fair as possible but with a firm hand when needed. I got all that and more with Christa Banfield. She was able to balance my emotions and my end stated goal and stay focused on the right result. I also felt she was another much needed friend as I went through the process. Jeff Baker also provided excellent support throughout the process. The office staff was super friendly and treated me like a member of the family. I highly recommend this firm and in particular Christa Banfield.

Child Custody Modification
We were referred to Christa through a friend and we can't be thankful enough for that referral! We had visited with a few attorneys before Christa and my wife and I just never felt like the attorneys cared about us or our story and struggles, until we met Christa. She was someone who really listened to us and was relatable. She was real with us and told us the truth. She was so thorough with our whole case and made sure we turned in everything needed and turned things in on time. I was trying to modify my current custody orders and receive the time with my daughter that I deserved. Christa always made me feel like she was on my side. She also didn't waste any of my time in order to make more money. She consulted with me when it was appropriate and necessary. My case ended up in trial. The way Christa presented my case just blew my mind. She was on top of everything during that trial. I felt as if she knew my case inside and out so when anything was brought up during the trial she knew exactly how to address it. For the last 6 months my wife and I felt as if Christa was a sort of part of our family, she was drawn into every personal detail of mine and my wife's life. Even after the trial we will remain in contact with her and continue using her for any future uses. She won my modification case for my wife and I and we couldn't be more thankful for all of her dedication.
