Craig P. Cherney

I’ve had attorneys in the past for prior litigations. Craig and Leslie have far surpassed any one I have hired especially for my child custody case. I can say if it wasn’t for Craig and Leslie, I would not have sole custody of my children right now. I highly recommend Canterbury law for your legal needs.

After a gruelling, expensive, and heartbreaking experience with another lawyer who was determined to manufacture conflict in my family court case, I finally got a referral from a friend to get the help we needed from Canterbury Law Group. Craig and his team took our case on with less than one month from our hearing and instantly provided guidance, patience, integrity, innovative strategy and professionalism throughout their involvement. They were able to take the mess that the other attorney created, stand in front of the judge, present their statements, and entirely outclass the opposing counsel with their poise, clarity, and demeanour. Canterbury Law Group became the beacon of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited, and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nearly impossible. Because of them, our children will be able to enjoy a much more sustainable, happy and peaceful life with a one week on/off schedule. We now get to enjoy vacations as a family and can begin to plan for events. Our children now have a chance to make more friends, live with fewer disruptions, and can be a kid again. We have clarity on what to expect moving forward, what is ok versus what is not and a clear rulebook for the next years to come, which empowers co-parenting. I appreciated having my questions answered promptly and the transparency that this is a journey requiring endurance, persistence and not just a legal matter. Financially Craig Cherney and Jon Ibsen have always been honest about the economic aspects of all legal decisions. I have never felt over the past year that they have ever been more interested in their financial benefit than their client. They know which legal matters can be won and which will probably be lost or not favoured and therefore should not be pursued. Their firm is not interested in a continual conflict which is not economically helpful or beneficial for co-parenting. I the entire group to be very compassionate to my situation when others turned their cheek, and this team gave me valuable advice along the way regarding my children, keeping them safe and the parenting agreement sustained. Craig, Jon, and their team showed us first hand how success in the law requires a bit of boldness, and anyone seeking legal representation should expect their attorneys to be as competent and confident as Craig, Jon, and their entire team. Not only was Canterbury Law Firm able to defend us from constant unjust accusations and harassment Craig and Jon's calm and empathetic demeanour offered emotional aid to myself and those I care about most. My children and I are eternally grateful for their continued support, service, and I would recommend Canterbury Law Group without reservation. After interviewing close to 100 family law attorney in Scottsdale and Phoenix, Arizona, I find it hard to recognize that there is a more talented Family Law Attorney in Scottsdale, AZ. My rationalizing is based on Canterbury's legal understanding, willingness to minimize legal costs when able and the expertise to recognize the emotional and psychological aspects of the family court process along the way empowering their clients and families in some of the most challenging times. They have a vast experience when it comes to identifying and structuring cases to generate the best possible result. We are forever grateful for their continued help in navigating us toward success and helping our family reach our goals. I will consult and retain Canterbury Law Group in the future for any family legal matter.

I worked with Craig and the team to navigate a difficult divorce and custody situation involving a high conflict personality. Craig has fingertip command of family law he will share and tremendous depth of experience from which to draw. His continual application of both to my case as he dealt with, in succession, 3 sets of opposing council and a difficult-to-predict. Judge resulted in a postive outcome few attorneys could bring about.

Divorce is not easy, no matter the circumstances. I hired Craig for my THIRD, so I can honestly say, I have alot of experience with divorce attorneys! I knew what to look for in an attorney, and Craig fit the bill perfectly. I wanted someone who would listen to my story, then ask what my expectations were, not someone seeing dollar signs and generating unnecessary conflict. Craig did exactly that. He explained what I needed to do to achieve those expectations, and offered alternatives to an equitable settlement. Every step of the way, he sought MY input, knowing that I knew my spouse, and our situation better than anyone. This was not a step by step, cookie cutter experience, and Craig helped me navigate through it. In the end, the process achieved a fair and equitable solution for both me and my Ex. This is exactly what I wanted. If you want to be the "leader" in your divorce process, but don't know how to do that, I highly recommend Craig! He will listen, he will recommend, and he will get the job done!

I began working with Craig and Canterbury Law group in 2018 for a divorce with minor children case. My expierence with Craig and his team has been nothing short of exemplary. I started the nearly 2 year long process lost, confused and downright terrified by the nothingnof the endeavor that i was going to be facing. Through out the entire process Craig and his team provided much needed guidance and support during this time and kept me sain and really provided more than just legal representation. When it came to preparation for trial I was given amazing advice along with guidance as to what would be needed to present the best case possible when the big day came. While preparing not only was Craig upfront with me and gave me a realistic idea of what was going to occur, but he also prepared me for what could happen. And for this I am truly grateful. At trial I really saw what Craig and his team were capable of and to say I was impressed would be the understatement of the century. Having served the Marines for more than a decade I can whole heartily say that the way the approached trial was nothing short of warrior-like. Calculated and precise, professional and ruthless, I would equate their conduct in the courtroom as nothing short of what I would expect a Marine on the the battlefield taking the fight to the enemy. Craig, along with his co-counsel John stood their ground and in my eyes completely and utterly dominated the courtroom. Their continued support post trial has been nothing short of amazing and I can say that no matter what comes up in this case they along with myself will be ready. Choosing to have Craig and Canterbury Law Group represent me is one the best decisions I have made in my life and I would highly recommend him and his team to anyone in need.

Craig was very helpful from the start. The difficult issues faced were explained thoroughly and I felt very well represented throughout the entire process. I appreciated his advice and insight. Very pleased I hired Craig for this difficult situation.

Craig Cherney is exactly what you need in an attorney. He is understanding and compassionate, but also tough when needed. I am very grateful that I had Craig and his wonderful staff to guide me through a difficult divorce with a few curve balls. He was always ready to meet all challenges head on, and I always felt like he had my back throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Canterbury Law Group for your family law needs.

I cant express how delighted I was with Craig Cherney and his team. My representation was professional, concise and far exceeded any of my expectations for the process of divorce. Craig's team introduced us to the Collaborative divorce process, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I was able to walk away knowing my needs were met and I believe we both felt the process was fair and balanced. Thank you!

Craig Cherney kept my family together and led me to prevail in my child custody and visitation modification case through his superior knowledge of law and exceptionally composed written arguments. I hired Mr. Cherney after I first interviewed him based on how quickly he understood my multi-jurisdictional case history and his clever proposed strategies. No other lawyer I spoke to was able to absorb the information of my case as fast, let alone process and strategically plan in the same meeting. These skills proved effective during the course of the case, and after trial and litigation I was awarded all the visitation I proposed while also retaining the award of residential parent which was being threatened in the case against me. After the final order was issued by the court, Mr. Cherney's keen planning brought in his partner, Jon Isben. They worked together to discover that the child support I was awarded was too low. After filing a bulletproof motion for reconsideration, I was awarded almost double the child support amount. In addition, the planning and strategies by Mr. Cherney put my case in a position to petition the court for the award of attorney fees, which I also won.

Craig provided exceptional guidance in getting an agreement put together for my involvement with a construction company in Las Vegas. He continually checks in to see how things are going. This proves that he is invested in the relationship we have developed. I would recommend Craig to anyone in need of the services he provides.
