I give them my highest recommendation as a family law firm.

Star Rating

Divorce is a painful and daunting experience. I was concerned about getting the right law firm to represent me, so I interviewed several attorneys and asked around. Mr. Ellsworth was recommended to me by a friend who faced him as the opposing counsel. Steve was excellent in his advice and follow through. He is also very compassionate and always respected my concerns. His paralegal, Stacy, did much of the heavy lifting during the process and was great. She got things done and her communication was timely and thorough. The other team members were kind and helpful. I felt like I made new friends as we finished the process.

My husband and I went to Ellsworth Family Law towards the end of 2017 hoping to resolve some issues with my children’s biological faither and potentially moving forward with my husband adopting my kids. I was nervous about the process and had no knowledge about the steps that needed to be taken. Ellsworth Family Law and the entire staff was overwhelmingly helpful, reassuring and sensitive to our specific case. We appreciate them and will always remember them as being a part of our family’s story. I HIGHLY recommend Ellsworth Family Law to anyone in need of an attorney’s guidance/assistance involving your family!

My brother used Taylor Larson and his paralegal Melissa Krause for an extremely difficult divorce. My brother also had psychological and medical issues during this time, and I had to advocate for him. I am out of state on the East Coast. Taylor and Melissa treated us both like family. We can’t thank them enough for everything they were able to accomplish for my brother during this very difficult period for all of us. Words alone can never express our gratitude. They are both the absolute best.

I had the pleasure of working with Taylor at Ellsworth Family Law for my case and I couldn’t be happier with the work he and paralegal Melissa and the work they both did on my case. Taylor and Melissa handled everything with the upmost care. The team’s attention to detail and commitment to my case was second to none, and I was consistently impressed with their professionalism and knowledge of family law. From motions to responses to motions, were detailed and when appropriate, even outlined specific case law that was pertinent to my case.

One of the standouts of my experience was both Taylor and Melissa and their ability to handle unexpected challenges. No matter what came up, they were always ready with a solution and their confidence in the face of this was truly inspiring.

I was also impressed by the level of care and attention I received from Taylor and the whole team at Ellsworth Family Law. Their guidance and support were invaluable, and I felt completely confident and prepared when the time came to present my case in family court. I never once felt like I was “just another client”.

They even prepared me on the possible outcomes (good and bad and how likely each outcome could be) once the court had made a decision.

I cannot recommend Ellsworth Family Law and Taylor highly enough. They exceeded my expectations in every way and I am grateful for their excellent representation and support throughout my case.

I had an outstanding experience with Ellsworth Family Law Firm. From start to finish, Taylor and his team of associates went above and beyond in handling my recent case. Their dedication, professionalism, and attention to detail truly made a difference and resulted in positive outcomes across the board.

What stood out most was their consistent communication throughout the entire process—I always felt informed, supported, and confident in the direction we were taking. Every item was handled with care and expertise, and it was clear that the team genuinely cared about my case and my well-being.

I’m incredibly grateful for their hard work and highly recommend Ellsworth Family Law Firm to anyone in need of compassionate and competent legal representation.

I am grateful to how dedicated this firm is to see my case to the end until we got some justice. And being a dad who got full custody, I assure you that was no easy task, but thanks to the tenacity and strategies in the end Justice was served.

I was introduced to Steve and the crew back in 2013 when it became clear that I needed legal representation to protect my parental rights. Unfortunately, I am in my fifth year of litigation, something that I would wish on no one. It has been a long and hard fight but these folks have had my back the whole way. I am very grateful to have been referred to them. I trust them and that is too hard to come by these days. Do yourself a favor and take my word for it.

Not too many people in this world I trust but Glenn is one of them. Not only did he save & protect me and my children from severe loss, he did it the right way. Glenn exemplifies truly the highest level and rare combination of integrity, professionalism and superior skill in his craft.

Ellsworth and Stacey are amazing!

Star Rating

Not only did Ellsworth do my divorce, but also my relocation with my 2 children. Many attorneys will tell you it is a waste of time, but it seems like Ellsworth and Stacy can make anything possible. Even when we went to our pre hearing the judge himself said he did not like doing relocations, but Stacy and Ellsworth made it happen. They are very quick to respond to any questions comments or concerns that you may have. And they pay attention to all the small details that others wouldn’t ever notice or think of. Not only do they put them in the official paperwork, but they also take an extra step to inform you as to why they worded it that way. That has paid off huge for me! Wording is everything. I’m so grateful for Ellsworth Family Law and everything they were able to accomplish for my family and I.

Glen Halterman and the team st Ellsworth Family Law provide exceptional legal service.

Star Rating

They also maintain the highest standards of ethical conduct and professionalism.

As a marriage and family therapist, I do my best to help couples heal and strengthen their marriage. When they are unable to do so, however, they need an attorney who will provide them the information and guidance they need to navigate their divorce as well as possible. I have worked with Glen Halterman’s and have referred many friends, colleagues and clients to him. The people Inhave referred have always given him rave reviews.

Glen Halterman is an extremely professional, knowledgeable, and brilliant attorney. He is also compassionate, personable, amd wise. His legal writing is clear and concise. His legal arguments are compelling. He is excellent at helping clients focus on the most relevant issues and points out where reasonable compromise is necessary. He is mindful of the financial challenges with which many of his clients are dealing, and does his best to keep fees as low as possible, while accomplishing the important goals for the case.

I highly recommend Glen Halterman and The Ellsworth Family Law practice to anyone in need of family law services.

Everyone from the staff to Steve Ellsworth himself made me feel like they really cared about my situation. I would 100 percent recommend this Law firm.

I have known Steve Ellsworth for 26 years and have used his services many times. Steve is at the very top of his game in Family Law, as is his team. I have referred many of my friends and colleagues to him. His approach is focused on resolving issues quickly and practically. I would recommend him very highly. There is not a better Family Law team in Phoenix.

Glenn D. Halterman without question is the absolute finest family law attorney in Arizona. He is kind, courteous, exceptionally knowledgeable about our abyss of divorce laws; I personally can vow for him as I have been his client for over nine years. In the hardest of moments, he is able to guide you through the plethora of emotions when your face to face with the opponents legal council. If you ever are in need of a family law lawyer Glenn is your man. You will meet as clients and end up as friends. THANK YOU doesn’t even surmount the extreme gratefulness we are for all of you hard dedication and work! The Sperry’s.

Stop. Stop picking the first family law attorney you run into. Stop turning to the ‘Best Family Lawyers in Phoenix’ list. Stop comparing the hourly rates of the attorneys. Stop and read this first.

It took a long and hard three years to get my divorce concluded but matters relating to custody, child support, etc. kept the case alive for another almost ten years. It was an involved case, I agree, but one I thought I should have prevailed on. It didn’t happen and I place the blame entirely on two successive attorneys who took my case. I finally asked around and found Ellsworth Family Law. Mr. Glenn Halterman represented me and he was able to turn the case around. After drowning in failure and misery for about ten years, Glenn finally fetched justice for me. A great deal of money was spent (should I say wasted?) and the only attorney who deserved any payment was Glenn.

So if you have a family issue, perhaps a bad divorce or a small child-related issue, or something else in between, go to the Offices of Ellsworth Family Law. Whether you are a woman or a man, at least call and talk to them. If you are a man–well, you know how badly the legal system is skewed against you!–you certainly need the able help of Ellsworth Family Law. Good luck.

Ellsworth Family law, was recommended to us by my best friend. It’s been hands down a very pleasant experience their staff is very knowledgeable and expedite on their responses when asked questions pertaining to my daughters case. Taylor showed our family empathy on a very emotional family adoption. We we’re impressed with their knowledge and abilities to get things done in a timely manner. We didn’t worry about a thing we left it in their hands. My opinions we’re not only heard but valued. Taylor always kept us in the loop and made sure we understood the whole process. I felt like he truly cared .I would highly recommend their firm and their services. A big thanks from the Nelson Family

This was my first time ever seeking legal help for custody and I was not disappointed. I was nervous and wasn’t sure what to expect but everything was handled extremely well. Taylor was my lawyer and he was very professional, listened to every concern and answered every question I had. He wasted no time to get started on my case and I placed all trust in him and all advice given. Despite the delays of everything due to Covid, the whole case went by smooth and stress free. The entire team was just great from the receptionists to my Paralegal Randi. Cannot thank them enough!

Steve and everyone at Ellsworth law are incredibly knowledgeable and competent in all matters relating to family law. Steve and my paralegal Stacy fought hard to protect my rights and make sure the outcome of my divorce was in my favor. I was incredibly happy with the final outcome. In addition to this, they are both very kind and caring. This was an important combination for me to have when looking for a divorce attorney since divorce in and of itself is so traumatic. I can highly recommend Steven Ellsworth Law to anyone who is searching for a family law attorney. I truly believe that Steve is the best family law attorney in the state of Arizona.

Great office staff that keeps you informed of everything going on with your case. Fair and affordable and they won’t nickel and dime you with unnecessary fees.
My wife and I were dealing with a custody issue that we couldn’t handle on our own and we hired Steve Ellsworth to represent us. From the beginning they took control and handled all of our needs, questions, and everything else. Steve is the nicest, most soft spoken polite person you will ever meet but once he gets in the court room he DOES NOT MESS AROUND. My wife calls him the “Court Room Bulldog” 😁. I would highly recommend Ellsworth Family Law to anyone dealing with a family law issue. They are compassionate, professional, and most importantly they know what they are doing.
Thanks again Steve & Ellsworth Family Law!!! We are so thankful for all you have done for us!!!!
