ELLSWORTH FAMILY LAW, P.C.
FAMILY LAW SPECIALISTS*
History of The Firm
Ellsworth Family Law, P.C. was established in 2003 by Mr. Ellsworth, a Certified Family Law Specialist by the State Bar of Arizona, as a specialty law firm providing legal representation in all Family Law Matters. Since that time the firm has grown to include two additional attorneys, Glenn D. Halterman, who is also a Certified Family Law Specialist, and F. Taylor Larson, who also handles family law and personal injury matters. We also have two legal paraprofessionals and two highly trained paralegals working as a team to ensure that all matters are handled professionally and as efficiently as possible. The services provided by the firm have been expanded to also include mediation, arbitration, and personal injury.
How Do I Get Started?
Because every case is unique, you should speak with one of our firm’s attorneys regarding the facts and issues involved in your particular case. The best way to proceed is to contact our office and schedule an initial consultation with one of our attorneys.
The cost of the initial consultation is $300.00 and lasts for approximately one hour. During the initial consultation, the attorney will be able to review any court documents you have filed or received and will be able to answer your questions regarding your options, fees, and an appropriate strategy.
We look forward to having an opportunity to assist you in your family law case.

Sean started working as general manager for us in January of 2024. He previously worked for Amazon, his first job after receiving his Master’s of Business Administration. His undergraduate degree was in marketing and so we realized he was perfectly suited to manage and market for our law firm and to help build up our sister company, Arizona Divorce Mediation Center. Sean is a native of Arizona and the 4th child of our managing partner, Steve Ellsworth. He worked for us briefly while still in High School, so he was already familiar with our firm dynamic. Sean brings a fresh take and lots of enthusiasm to our team and is eager to help make us even more productive as a firm.
