Christa Banfield has focused her practice on family law since before she was even
licensed in 2011, externing with Community Legal Services and the Honorable Bruce
Cohen, and interning with family law practices in Phoenix and Scottsdale.
Christa’s background allows her to bring both empathy and logic to her practice – an
important balance in family law matters.
In 2003, Christa obtained her first Bachelor’s of Science in Supply Chain Management,
which she put to use as a business analyst for Honeywell before pursuing her law
degree. Her love of numbers and analytics serves her well when handling high asset
dissolutions, dissolutions with businesses involved, and simply being able to analyze
different financial scenarios for her clients.
Christa’s second BS was in Psychology, and while attending ASU’s Sandra Day
O’Connor College of Law she focused her classes on Law and Psychology, earning her
graduate certificate in Law, Science, and Technology. While Christa emphasizes that
she is not a psychologist, her study of the subject helps in dissolution matters where
mental health concerns, child development issues, substance abuse, domestic violence,
and other such issues are present.
In her free time, Christa enjoys spending time with her family on their hobby farm
playing with the goats, chickens, dogs, cats, and tortoise.

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.

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 whe...

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...
