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.

My divorce case was public safety related involving complicated pension matters. Zalena was extremely knowledgeable and effective in representing my petitions.

Zalena helped me through a divorce after a 30 year marriage. She was very thorough & a good investigator, along with being a good attorney. She was aggressive in court & I ended up being financially stable, which I’m so grateful for.
