I am a family law attorney practicing in the East Valley since 1989. I am dedicated to assisting my clients and helping them through this difficult time in their life. It is my goal to take the burden and stress associated with family law matters off my clients so that they can begin the process of rebuilding their lives. I do not believe in game playing or needlessly increasing attorney's fees. I strive to resolve every case without court intervention if settlement is fair and appropriate given the risks of a judge making the decisions. However, if settlement proposals are not what I believe to be fair, I have no problem litigating matters and try to make this process as painless for my client's as possible. I keep my client's informed every step of the way and do my best to obtain the best possible outcome for each and every client.

Best lawyer hands down!
Best decision I have ever made in hiring Zalena. She stuck with me through a 4 year divorcee process. She never gave up on my case even going through the appeal process and supreme court.
