2019-2022 AVVO CLIENT'S CHOICE FAMILY LAW AND DIVORCE ATTORNEY WITH 29 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. CALL TODAY FOR CONSULTATION.

I have practiced Family Law in Phoenix, Arizona for almost 30 years.  I am committed to exceptional representation and compassionate client service. 

Whether you are experiencing the pain of marital conflict or facing another legal issue close to home, I will listen to your needs, understand your concerns and seek solutions to your legal problems. I am experienced in all matters of Arizona Family Law, representing individuals and families in the Phoenix area and throughout Arizona.  My firm provides trusted guidance as you navigate divorce, child custody, legal decision-making and support, property division, and other family law matters.

To ensure a secure future for your children after a divorce, I provide caring legal counsel and advocacy. I can help you with matters including:

Child support — I will seek an arrangement in which you receive or pay an equitable amount of the financial support required to raise your child in a happy and healthy environment.

Legal Decision-Making and Parenting Time — I advocate for parenting time to be divided in a way that grants a child stability and safety and preserves your parental bond. I assert clients’ rights to make decisions about how their children are raised.

I help clients to end their marriage with as little stress as possible, but when the situation demands litigation, I won’t hesitate to advocate for your rights in court. Whether your breakup is contested or amicable, I provide comprehensive support for:

Divorce — I will guide you through the divorce process so that your rights are protected and you can move forward with confidence.

Spousal Maintenance/Support — So that divorce doesn’t unnecessarily disadvantage one party, I help you seek the best possible settlement or judgment for spousal maintenance payments, whether you must pay spousal maintenance or will receive it.

Property division — I will advocate for a fair allocation of your marital estate and debt, ensuring the court has a full financial accounting.
Mediation may be useful in helping you and your partner to achieve amicable agreements about issues involving your children, property and finances. If mediation proves unproductive, however, I am a skilled litigator who will advocate for your best interests in court.

Post-Decree Matters:  I can also assist you with legal matters that arise after your divorce is finalized including modifications and issues that arise necessitating enforcement of current court orders.

Shelley Hubbard is one of the most adept, tenacious and caring individuals practicing Family Law in the State of Arizona. Shelley represented me on many occasions over the course of a decade in what she would agree were some of the most complex circumstances she’s seen in her career. I always felt supported, well advised and somewhat sorry for the opposing side. Don’t mistake this pretty face for weakness. She is fiercely protective, highly astute and a force to reckon with should you be on the other side fence. I’d be remiss not to mention that aside from her superstar capabilities, Shelley is an amazing human with a heart of gold and I feel incredibly blessed to know her both professionally and personally.

The best attorney you could ever hire!
Shelley has been nothing short of amazing to me and my family over the years of her being our attorney. We hired her almost nine years ago when my child’s father and I first split, and she has been our attorney ever since. We’ve had numerous issues when it comes to the parenting time of our child, and Shelley has always acted in my son’s best interest. Her knowledge, strong character, and powerful charisma are everything you should look for when hiring an attorney. We will never have enough words to describe how thankful our family is to have her in our corner. Thank you, Shelley, for all you have done and continue to do, for our family!

Excellent Chile Custody Lawyer
I was referred to Shelley by a family friend, and I couldn’t have been more happy with my experience. Because anything regarding children is extremely sensitive, Shelley came in and helped me take charge of what was in the best interest of my child while maintaining my confidence. She handled everything professionally, quickly, and with tact. She was my voice when I needed it heard most. She reviewed everything sent to me multiple times and steered me in the right direction for all my questions and concerns. I always felt well prepared and well spoken for. In the end I got everything I wanted for my child and I, and I couldn’t have done it without her. Though I’d never wish anyone to be in my position, if you find yourself with a need for a child custody or child support attorney - Shelley is your woman! She is incredible.

Relieved and resolved!
Ms. Hubbard set realistic expectations and guided me through a divorce that was mediated within six months. She has many years of experience and gave me confidence that she would get me the best outcome possible. I would recommend Shelley to anyone looking for a determined, thoughtful attorney who knows the law inside and out.

A Note of Thanks!
From the first moment, I knew I was in competent hands. Shelley was not only an attorney who intensely focus on the details of the case, showed remarkable skill in the court room but she also offered a caring presence and held my hand when she needed to. While her main focus is always the legality of the issues involved, her guiding principle is the healing of the family.

Shelley Hubbard
I don't typically leave reviews but I felt this one was something I had to do. In the 8 years I have known Shelley and worked with her, I have come to see quite a bit. The main things are the honesty, loyalty, determination, and genuine care Shelley has for her clients and friends. I honestly could tell her things that I would otherwise not be able to share. She is the best at what she does, and I would not work with anyone else! Thank you for being there!

Top family law attorney
I have worked with Shelley as a fellow attorney. She is knowledgeable as to all aspects of family law. She is quite good at understanding the law and working with clients to achieve their objectives. I recommend her very highly and without any reservation.

Simply the best!
Shelley is unequivocally the best attorney I've ever worked with! My case with another firm was floundering and costing a small fortune, I found myself in desperate need of advice and that's when a mutual friend referred me to Shelley. Shelley listened to my concerns, my desired outcome, and read through my files which ultimately led to the case reaching a favorable resolution without court intervention. I can say with certainty that if it weren't for her counsel my case would've continued to flounder and/or not have had the same conclusion. My only regret is that I did not know Shelley earlier in the process because I would've hired her to represent me. She's honest, fair, no-nonsense, and compassionate. I am so profoundly grateful for the introduction and all she did!

Amazing!
I have always found Shelley to be very professional, responsive, and she has never given me bad advice. Shelley has done a good job of finding the right balance between what is good for me but also good for my family overall during a difficult time. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Can't say enough positive things about Shelley!
Shelley is not just a great person and friend, she is an amazing attorney as well. She is knowledgeable, caring, compassionate, and tough. She helped me through a years-long custody case and was always the level-headed calm in the storm. I knew without a doubt she was always representing me in the best possible manner and had my child's best interests in mind. If you hire Shelley to represent you, you will not be disappointed.

Amazing Lawyer
Shelley is not only a great friend, but a tough and knowledgable lawyer who helped me through what can only be described as a nightmare child custody situation. Her thorough understanding of the child custody and support guidelines made me feel prepared and strong to be successful in my case. I highly recommend Shelley.

Caring, Ethical and Skilled
Shelley is an excellent attorney who really listens to her clients. She deals with highly stressful & highly emotional situations and people, and she does a great job of keeping things on track and in her client’s best interest. She has been a consistent guide even after the conclusion of my divorce and has helped me navigate difficult matters with regard to custody and parental cooperation. She did her best to complete my divorce as quickly and favorably as possible despite a lot of obstacles and hostility. She is steadfast in her integrity, reasonable, and very communicative. She is never difficult to reach, gets things done in a very timely manner, and is always well prepared. These qualities matter immensely when you are dealing with the high stakes of family law. I recommend Shelley’s legal expertise to anyone who is facing these issues, she is extremely qualified and will provide the guidance you need.

Professional, knowledgeable, and committed to your needs!
Shelly is great. She is very knowledgeable and was able to answer all the questions I had pertaining to my filing, the process, the expectations with the timeline, etc. Her experience in handling many cases in Maricopa Co. over the years is evident in the results. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone of my friends or colleagues.
